PREFACE. 



In preparing the Centennial Gazetteer, the author has endeavored to present to 
his readers the latest geographical and statistical information relating to the United 
States, in a compact and convenient form. 

The book contains descriptive articles on the states and territories ; the counties 
and townships ; the cities, villages and post-offices, and the principal mountains, rivers 
and lakes. As these articles are alphabetically arranged, reference to any of them is 
easy, and the reader can readily obtain the information he may be in search of. 

The sources from which the materials of the Gazetteer have been drawn were 
numerous and ample, and have been furnished by the various authorities (the chiefs 
of bureaus of the general government and the secretaries of the different states) with 
great liberality, for which the author would herewith tender his sincere thanks. To 
enumerate all the documents, reports and other works which have been consulted 
and used, would far exceed the limits of this preface. The most important only can 
be indicated here. Such are the State Geological Reports and the reports of explorations 
west of the Mississippi River. These documents furnished the materials necessary 
for the description of the surface structure and the soil of the states, territories and 
counties. 

The remarks on the climate of the United States and the several states have been 
drawn chiefly from the large meteorological publications of the Smithsonian Institu- 
tion, and the excellent charts inserted in the third volume of the Ninth Census Report. 

Particular attention has been given to the subject of statistics. These have been 
derived from the Report of the Ninth Census, the reports of the Chief of the Bureau 
of Statistics, in "Washington, and numerous other sources. Where not otherwise in- 
dicated, the figures are mostly those of the census. Older statistics have been largely 
introduced for the purpose of enabling the reader to institute comparisons and to trace 
the more or less rapid progress of a state, city or county. 

The railroad statistics have been taken from H. V. Poor's Railroad Manual, and the 
American Railway Manual by Edward Vernon. 

Several of the state and territorial governments (as "Washington, Utah, Arkansas, 
South Carolina, etc.,) have published treatises on their natural resources, etc., designed 
to guide emigrants in the selection of new homes. These have been made use of as 
far as the information given appeared reliable. 

The location of cities and villages has been described from the large postal maps 
published by the Post-office Department at Washington, from railroad guides and all 



iv PREFACE. 

other available sources, and, it is hoped, ■will be found correct, so that the Gazetteer 
may serve as a shipping guide for all places of the slightest importance. It will be 
found a complete post-office directory at the time of its publication. 

The author deems the present a very favorable time for the publication of a new 
gazetteer. Thebooks of this description heretofore published were compiled previous 
to the civil war, since which period the country has undergone very great political 
and social changes, aside from its normal progress in wealth, population and industrial 
activity. Hence they are antiquated and of historical rather than practical value. 

The ninth census, taken in 1870, and published a short time ago, proves to be far 
superior to and more reliable than any of its predecessors — thanks to the labors and 
critical discussions of its able chief, General Francis A. Walker — and in all probability 
will be the last that will be taken before the close of the first century of our national 
existence. It seemed desirable that the results of this great work should be rendered 
more accessible than is possible through the distribution of the official volumes alone. 

It is the opinion of many that we live in a period of transition, and that a new 
historic era is at hand, well into the midst of which we may find ourselves with the 
successful solution of such problems as now press the statesman and economist on all 
sides. With reorganized social, political and industrial conditions in the southern 
states, with the return of capital from speculative enterprise, with a more elastic and 
equally distributed currency, and with a rejuvenation of our general political life, we 
shall have already entered the new historic period. It is more than probable there- 
fore that the Centennial Gazetteer will be the very last work of its kind issued 
during this period of transition, or required for years to come ; and it is hoped that^ 
as it will be found to fairly represent the country in its material development, past 
and present, it will have both historic and practical value. 

In conclusion, the author would render thanks to James P. Boyd, Esq., of Philadel- 
phia, for his able assistance and thoughtful co-operation, through which many an 
error of statement or omission of fact has been corrected.

THE 



UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 



THE UITITED STATES OF AMERICA includes within its boundaries the central portion 
of the North American continent, less than two hundred years ago a comparative wilderness, 
and covers an area extending from the British Possessions on the north to the Gulf and the 
Republic of Mexico on the south, being situated between 25° 7' and 49° North latitude, and 
between 66° 5S}4' and 124° 43' longitude West of Greenwich. The eastern coast, 2,163 miles long, 
is washed by the Atlantic Ocean ; the western coast, 1,343 miles long, by the Pacific Ocean ; and 
the southern coast, 1,764 miles long, by the Gulf of Mexico. 

The greatest breadth of this area, from the mouth of the St. Croix River in Maine to Cape 
Flattery in Oregon, is 4,316,166 meters, or 2,744 miles, and the greatest length, from the 49th par- 
allel to the mouth of the Rio Grande, is 2,556,219 meters, or 1,58S miles. 

The total area, excluding Alaska territorj', is 3,026,494 square miles, and including Alaska 
3,603,884 square miles ; a surface extent surpassed only by that of three great states, the British 
Empire with all its dependencies and colonies, the Chinese Empire, and the Russian Empire. 

1. BOUNDARIES. 

The northern boundary begins at the mouth of the St. Croix river, in Passamaquoddy Bay, 
follows this river through Grand Lake to its source, and thence goes due north till it strikes the 
St. John river. It then follows the St. John and the St. Francis rivers to the outlet of Lake 
PohenaganVook, whence it strikes S. AV. to a point on the North Branch of the St. John, 10 miles 
from the main branch. From this point it extends S. 10° W. to the intersection of the S. W 
Branch of the St. John river and the parallel of 46° 25' N. latitude, follows this river to its 
source, thence the Height of Land dividing the affluents of the St. Lawrence river from those^ 
of the Atlantic ocean, to the soui'ce of Hall's Stream, a tributary of the Connecticut, following 
this stream to the 45th parallel, which becomes the boundary until it strikes the St. Lawrence 
river near the village of St. Regis. Thence it passes through the middle of the St. Lawrence, 
Lake Ontario, Niagara River, Lake Erie, Detroit River, St. Clair Lake and River, Lake Huron, 
and Lake Superior, to the mouth of Pigeon River. It ascends Pigeon River, crosses the Fowl 
Lakes and the Lake of the Woods to its north-westei"n extremity in 49° 23' 55" N. latitude and 96° 
14' 38" W. longitude, where it turns due south to the 49th parallel, and follows this parallel to the 
Canal de Haro, which separates Vancouver Island from the continent and the San Juan Islands. 

The southern boundary follows the deepest cliannel of the Rio Grande del Norte to 32° N. lati- 
tude, thence runs due west to 108° 30' W. longitude, thence south to 31° 30' N. latitude, thence 
again west to 111° W. longitude, thence W, N. W. to the Colorado river, below the mouth of the 
Gila river. From this point it runs to the Pacific coast, opposite the Coronados Island. 

The western, or Pacific coast, forms a simple curve and extends from the Straits of Juan de 
Fuca to Lower California. It is mostly high and rocky and has but one indentation of consider- 
able magnitude, the Bay of San Francisco. 

The eastern, or the Atlantic coast, trends from N. E. to S. W., and consists of three shallow 
curves. The first of these extends from Passamaquoddy Bay to Cape Cod, and is indented by 
Massachusetts Bay ; the second extending from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, by New York, Dela- 
ware, and Chesapeake baj's ; and the third, extending from Cape Hatteras to Florida, by 
numerous sounds or inlets, separating low alluvial islands from the main lands. 

The southern, or Gulf coast, extends from Cape Sable, the extremity of Florida, to the mouth 
of the Rio Grande, and in character resembles the Atlantic coast, being low and level. It is 
indented by a series of extensive lagoons and bays, as the Laguna Madre, Corpus Christi, Mata- 
gorda and Galveston bays, in Texas ; Vermilion, Atchafalaya, Terrebonne, and Tijnbalier bays, 
in Louisiana, the Bay of Mobile in Alabama, and Pensaeola, Tampa, and other bays in Florida.

8 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

II. SURFACE. 

The surface structure of the United States, the great central portion of the North American 
continent, is in the general arrangement of its prominent features comparatively simple. It 
consists of three distinct, -well-deflned regions or belts, which may be designated as the Eastern 
Central and Western Divisions. 

1. The Eastern Division comprises the broad mountain belt of the Appalachian system, 
together ^yith the low plain which extends along the sea-coast and gently ascends to the base of 
the mountains. This plain varies greatly in width. In New England it measures on an average 
about 50 miles, is much narrower in New York and New Jersey, but farther south expands till 
it attains a width of over 200 miles in North and South Carolina. South of New Jersey and Penn- 
sylvania it consists of two portions. The eastern is low, level, and in the main sandy ; while the 
western is undulating, or broken, and in some parts considerably diversified by chains of hills. 
The former is called the Tide Water Section ; the latter may be termed the Piedmont District, a 
name in common use in Virginia. The Appalachian Mountains form a belt about 100 miles wide and 
1,300 miles long, and cover an area of nearly 125,000 square miles. They extend from the Canadian 
Province of New Brunswick to Northern Georgia and Alabama, where the last chains sink down 
to the nearly horizontal plain. They are composed of a large number of nearly parallel chains, 
remarkably uniform over long distances in direction and height. The valleys inclosed within 
these numerous chains, and the gently sloping mountain sides, offer to the settler every possible 
advantage of soil, water, and vegetation. The western base of the Appalachians is bordered by 
a broad, slightly elevated table-land, intersected by the numerous water-courses which rise 
among the mountains and finally join the Mississippi. This table-land extends over western 
New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, the largest portion of Ohio, the south-eastern counties 
of Indiana, nearly all of Kentucky and Tennessee, and a large part of Alabama. 

S. The Western Division comprises the larger portion of that great mass of mountain 
ranges and table-lands known as tliC North American Cordilleras, which accompany the Pacific 
coast of the continent from the Isthmus of Panama to the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Within the 
United States tlie Cordilleras occupy the space between the 105th meridian W. of Greenwich, and 
the western coast. Their eastern border is formed by the Rocky Mountains, their western by 
the lofty chain of the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade mountains ; while the Coast Ranges of 
California, Oregon and Washington are the outlying spurs and projections of the vast system, 
and abut with bold promontories and ridges upon the Pacific coast. Numerous broken and de- 
tached ranges occupy the wide space between the lofty border chains, and receive distinctive 
names as they become known to the explorer and the settler. 

The Rocky Mountains do not form a single continuous ridge, as the common maps of Colton, 
Mitchell, and others invariably represent them ; but consist of two or more ranges, which inclose 
the highest portion of the continental plateau, and are connected by traverse ridges at irregu- 
lar distances. These latter cut up the plateau into a succession of isolated plateaus, or " Parks," 
shut in on all sides by elevated mountains. Secondary ranges radiate from the prinApal chains, 
and jut out into the plains which form the base of the Rocky Mountains along their whole ex- 
tent. The southern terminus of the Rocky Mountains is between the Rio Grande and Pecos 
rivers, in western Texas, in about 30° N. lat. Prom this point they trend N. W. to 32° N. lat., then 
change their general direction to due N., traversing New Mexico, Colorado, and southern Wyo- 
ming, and sink down into that remarkable gap, through which the Sweet Water and the North 
Platte rivers flow from AV. to E., and the western portion of which is called the South Pass. North 
of this depression the Rocky Mountains trend N. W. through Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. 
Their western chain forms the boundary between the two last named territories. For a more 
detailed description of the different sections of this mountain system, see the articles on New 
Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. 

The Rocky Mountains form the great divide between the western tributaries of the Mississippi 
and the large streams that empty into the Pacific Ocean. They are the culminating region, or 
apex — so to speak— of the continent, and have a mean elevation of more than 10,000 feet, Avhile 
their highest peaks exceed 14,000 feet. Of these the following are the best known: Fremont's 
Peak in Wyoming (13,.'>70feet) ; Long's Peak in Coloi-ado (14,050 feet) ; Mt. Audubon, W. of Long's 
Peak and near it (13,4.iG feet) ; Parry's Peak, 8 or 9 miles S. of the 40th parallel (13,133 feet); 
Gray's Peak. G miles W. of Denver a4,145 feet) ; Mt. Guyot, 25 miles N. of the 39th parallel (13,223 
feet) ; Mt. Silverheels, S. W. of Mt. Guyot (13,650 feet) ; Mt. Lincoln, a few miles N. W. of Mt. 
Silverheels (14,123 feet) ; Horseshoe Mount, about 8 niiles S. E. of Mt. Lincoln (13,S0G feet) ; Pike's 
Peak (14,218 feet) ; iSIt. Yale, 12 to 1,4 miles S. of the 39th parallel and W. of the Arkansas river, 
(14,078 feet) ; Mt. Harvard, 5 miles N. W. of Mt. Yale (14,270 feet). 

The great mountain range which forms the western edge of the Cordilleras is called in Califor- 
nia the Sierra Nevada or Snowy Range; in Oregon and Washington, the Cascade Mountains. 
This range conforms very nearly to the general direction of the coast, from which its crest varies 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 9 

in distance from 150 to 170 miles. The Sierra Nevada extends from the Tejon Pass in the 8., to 
Mt. Shasta in tlie N. W., a distance of 550 miles. The eastern slope, which does not exceed 10 milea 
in width, is to'old and abrupt ; its western, about 60 miles wide, sinks gently down to the broad 
valley of the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers. The southern portion consists of three high 
crests, which inclose between them the valleys of the two branches of Kern River. From lat. 
3G° to Lassen's Peak in 40° 30', the Sierra has but one crest, and from Lassen's Peak to Mt. Shasta 
it expands into an elevated volcanic plateau, the eastern edge of which is known as Warner's 
Range. The average height of the Sierra is nearly the same as that of the Rocky IMountains, 
but it is not so uniform. The southern portion is 'ly far the loftiest, and from 30° 30' lat. the 
height of the dominating peaks, as of the passes, decreases as we go northward ; the former from 
15,000 feet to 8,400 feet ; and the latter, froml2,000 feet to 5,400 feet. Mt. Whitney, situated near the 
head-waters of Kern River, is the loftiest peak thus far known, and is estimated at from 15,000 to 
15,300 teet above the sea-level ; Mt- Tyndall is 13,3S6 feet ; Mt. Brewer, 13;S8(i feet ; Mt. Lyell, ]3,'217 
feet ; Mt. Dana, 13,2-27 feet ; Mt. Hoffman, 10,87-2 feet ; Silver Mountain, 10,935 feet ; Pyramid Peak 
about 10,600 feet ; the Downieville Buttes, 8,400 feet ; Mt. Oujumi, 8,378 feet ; and Mt. Shasta, 14,440 
feet. The Cascade Mountains trend due N. from Mt. Shasta through Oregon and Washington, and 
form the prolongation of the Sierra Nevada, which they resemble in general character, although 
their average elevation is considerably less. They are cut through by the transverse valley of 
Columbia River. The highest peaks are Diamond Peak, Mt. Hood (11,2-25 feet ; Mt. St. Helens and 
Mt. Adams (both from 9,000 to 10,000 feet) ; INIt. Keinier (14,444 feet) ; and Mt. Baker (10,719 feet). 

The vast region wliich separates the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Mountains from the Rocky 
Mountains is a high table-land with numerous broken and partially detached superincumbent 
mountains separated by plains and vallej^s. " The traveler," says J. D. Whitney, " crossing this 
plateau will thread his way through narrow defiles, wind around innumerable spurs and ridges, 
traverse narrow valleys and occasional broad plains ; the formei- sometimes green and attractive ; 
the latter always arid and repulsive to the last degree ; he will never descend below 4,000 feet 
above the sea-level, and will never be out of sight of mountains ; these will always environ him 
with thinly wooded flanks and sterile and craggy summits, often glistening with great patches of 
snow which gradually lessen as the summer advances. In the distance these mountain ranges 
bphind their atmosphere of purple haze will seem massive and uniform in character ; as he 
ajiproaches one he will find it presenting some new charm of hidden valley or canyon, deeply 
countersunk into the m^ountain side. As he rises still higher he will quench his thirst at the 
refreshing spring of pure water, fed by the melting snow above, while the grandeur of the rocky 
masses, the purity of the air, the solitariness of the almost infinite extent of the panorama 
opened before him when he fairly reaches the summit, will leave upon his mind an ineffaceable 
impression of the peculiar features of our western mountain scenery." 

The most important of these ranges is that of the Wahsatch Mountains, which passes through 
central Utah, from N. to S., as a broad belt of highlands of nearly the elevation of the Rocky 
Mountains, and terminates near the banks of the Colorado river, in the N. W. corner of Arizona. 
The Uintah Mountains branch off from the Wahsatch toward the E., and are separated from the 
spurs of the Rocky Mountains by the nai-row defile of the Colorado. To the N. of the Uintah 
Mountams, and bordered by the Rocky and Wahsatch mountains, is the high basin of the Upper 
Colorado, which the Union Pacific railroad traverses from E. to W. A lower terrace, the basin 
of the middle Colorado, lies south of the Uiutahs and extends to the table-land of the White Mesa, 
which stretches from the Rocky Mountains westward to the southern extremity of the Wahsatch 
range. The Colorado breaks through the Mesa, forming those famous canyons which in their 
stupendous grandeur rank with the most impressive features of the earth. Still farther S. are the 
massive MogoUon Mountains, and the numerous other chains of Arizona, which all trend N. W. 
and S. E. 

The region which is bordered on the E. by the Wahsatch Mountains and the northern portion 
of the Rocky Mountains, and on the W. by the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Mountains, is 
properly termed the "Great Basin." It varies in width from 200 to 450 miles. The numerous 
isolated mountains which occupy it have a general north and south trend, and are usually very 
narrow, not often exceeding 8 or 10 miles in width. The most important of these are the East 
Humboldt Mountains, 75 miles from the Utah line ; the AVest Humboldt Mountains, 100 miles east 
of California; and the Toyabe Mountains, nearly intermediate between the two, and flanking the 
Reese River Valley on the east. Several peaks of the Toyabe and the East Humboldt ranges 
have an altitude of from 10,000 to 1-2,000 feet. North of the Humboldt river, which intersects 
the central part of the Great Basin from E. to W., the mountains assume a different character 
from those heretofore described, and are not arranged in parallel ridges, but radiate in var- 
ious directions from central nuclei. Such are the Salmon River Mountains of Idaho, and the 
Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon, separated from each other by the middle course of Snake 
River. Eastern Washington consists chiefly of the Columbia River Plain, which in elevation 
hardly exceeds 2,000 feet. There are three main depressions within this region ; one at the base

of the Sierra, at a level of about 3,850 feet above the sea, receiving the drainage of northern Nevada 
and the eastern slope of the Sierra ; the second, the " Great Salt Lake Basin," about 4^250 feet high 
near the western basis of the Wahsatch Mountains ; and the third, " Dead Valley," in south-east- 
ern California, which is several hundred feet below the level of the sea. 

3. The Central Division is comnaonlj' called the Mississippi Valley, and extends from the 
Appalachian Mountain system in the E. to the Rocky Mountains in tlie W. It is an immense 
plain, comprising an area of '2,155,000 square miles, and extending through 33 degrees of longitude 
and 23 degrees of latitude. On the N. it is bounded by the Height of Land, a broad table-land less 
than 2,000 feet above the sea, which separates it from the valley of the Red river of the North, an 
affluent of Lake Winnepeg, in British America. TJie lowest portion of the Mississippi Valley is 
the alluvial bottom or flood-ground of the great river, which extends from the mouth of the Ohio 
river to the Gulf of Mexico. This bottom varies in width from 30 to 70 miles, and is liable to inun- 
dation. Large poi-tions of it are covered with swamps and nearly impenetrable forests. On both 
sides it is bounded by " bluffs," which are the margins of the higher ground, and often rise 150 or 
200 feet above high-water level. In a few instances they approach the river, as at the Iron Banks, 
near Columbus, and the Chalk Banks, near Hickman, Ky. ; at Fulton, Randolph, and Memphis 
Tenn.; at Vicksburg, Grand and Petit Gulf, Natchez and Fort Adams, Miss.; and at Francisville and 
Baton Rouge, La. From the bluffs the country rises imperceptibly toward the east and west 
forming gently inclined planes, through which the tributaries of the parent stream have cut deep 
valleys. A belt of hills and uplands— the Ozark Mountains, about 2,000 feet high— rises on the 
western plain and occupies portions of the Indian Territory, Arkansas, and Missouri. Tiie higher 
portions of this plane, extending along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, are known as 
the Great Plains. 

III. RITERS AND liAKES. 

The rivers of the United States belong to three systems, corresponding to the three great physi- 
cal divisions we have just described. The first embraces the rivers which empty into the Atlan- 
tic ; the second those which empty into the Pacific ; and the third those which empty into the 
Gulf of Mexico. 

I. The largest stream entering the Atlantic is the St. Lawrence. Its course intersects the Do- 
minion of Canada ; but it also belongs to the United States, for it forms the boundary of the state 
of New York, and drains the Great Lakes, which receive numerous affluents from the north-cen- 
tral states. The St. Lawrence, although not the longest, is the greatest river of the world, sui"- 
passing all others in the volume of water which it discharges into the ocean. Its head stream is 
St. Louis River, which rises in the Height of Land, flows through north-eastern Minnesota, and 
empties into the western extremity of Lake Superior. This lake, as well as the others of the series 
—Michigan, Huron, St. Clair, Erie, and Ontario— must be regarded as expansions of the St- Law- 
rence ; and viewed in this light, the Sainte Marie, St. Clair, Detroit, and Niagara rivers are but 
different portions of the .same great stream. The entire length, from the source of the St. Louis 
to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is upward of 2,000 miles, and the general direction of its course to the 
head of Lake Erie is S. E. ; thence to the mouth, N. E. The principal tributaries are : Fox River, 
which i-ises in Southern AVisconsin, flows N. E., and empties into Green Bay; the Oconto, Pesh- 
tigo, and Menomonce rivers, also emptying into Green Bay ; the Manistee, JSfotepseacon, Muskeagon, 
Grand, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph rivers, which empty into Lake Michigan ; the Au Sable and 
Saginatv rivers, which empty into Lake Huron ; the Mauinee, which is formed by the confluence 
of the St. Joseph and St. Mary at Fort Wayne, and empties into Lake Erie. This lake further 
receives the Sandusky, Rock, Cuyahoga, and Grand rivers, which traverse Northern Ohio. Lake 
Ontario receives the &'eHe.seeand the Osivego, which is the outlet of the lakes in Central New 
York ; the Crooked, Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, Skenealeles, and Otieida. The Black River rises in the 
Adirondack Mountains, and empties into the eastern extremity of Lake Ontario. The;S<. Law- 
rence proper receives the Osivegatchie, Racket, and Richelieu rivers, the last-named being the 
outlet of Lakes Champlain and George. 

The principal New England rivers are : the St. Croix, which, forming the eastern boundary of 
Maine, rises in Grand Lake, 3S2]^ feet above the sea, and empties into Passamaquoddy Bay ; the 
Penobscot, which drains the Chesnncook and Pamadumcook Lakes, veceivKS t\\e Seboois and the 
Mattaivamkeag, and empties into Penobscot Bay ; the Kennebec, Avhich drains Moosehead iMke, and 
receives the Androscoggin ; the Merrimac, which is formed by the confluence of the Pemigewasset 
with the Winnipiseogee, the outlet of the lake of the same name : and the Connecticut, which rises 
in the Height of Land, near the boundary of Vermont, in two branches (the western of which is 
called HalVs Stream), flows nearly due south as far as Middletown, Conn., where it turns S. E., and 
empties into Long Island Sound. Owing to the conflguration of the country, the rivers of New

The Hudson, the largest river of New York, rises in the Adirondacks, receives the Sacondago

Ing, if not surpassing, in picturesque scenery, tlie celebrated Rliine. Tlie Delaware rises in two. 
branches in New Yorlc, and flowing south forms tlie boundary between Pennsylvania and New 
Jersey. Its princiiial tributaries are the Lehigh and Schuylkill rivers. The Susquehanna is formed 
by the confluence of the West and East branches, flows through Pennsylvania, receives the 
Juniata, and empties into the liead of Chesapeake Bay. This bay also receives the Polomac, the 
Rappahannock, and the James, the largest stream of Virginia. The Roanoke River is formed by 
the Staunton and the Dan, which unite near the southern boundary of Virginia. It empties into 
Albemarle Sound. The Neuse River empties into Pamlico Sound. Cape Fear River is formed by 
the Deep and Haw rivers, flows through southei-n North Carolina, and empties near Cape Pear. 
The Yadkin River and the Santee River, which is formed by the Waleree and the Congaree rivers, 
are the principal streams of South Carolina. Savannah River, which marks the boundary 
between South Carolina and Georgia, is formed by the Tugaloo and Kiowa rivers, and empties 
below the city of Savannah. Steamboats ascend as far as Augusta, Ga. The AUamaha River is 
formed by the Oconee and Oamulyee rivers. The St. John's River, of Florida, rises in one of the 
vast swamps so common in that region, flows north, and turning east, empties into the ocean. 
The principal rivers enumerated are navigable throughout the tide-water portion. « 

3. The largest river that empties into the Pacific Ocean is the Columbia. It rises in a small 
lake near the western base of the Rocky Mountains, and at first flows N. N. W. along this range, 
as far as the foot of Mount Hooker, where it turns W. and then S. In this northerly portion 
of its course it forms the Upper, Middle, and Lower Arrow lakes. Shortly after ci-ossing the 
southern bouuday of British Columbia and entering Washington Territory, it is joined by the 
Clark Fork, continues its southerly direction, and in about 4S° N. lat. turns westward, sweeping 
in a wide but tortuous curve around the great Columbia Plain. In 46° N. lat and 117° long. W. 
of Greenwich, it receives its largest tributary. Snake River, and assumes a westward course 
to the ocean, forming the boundary between Washington Territory and Oregon. In passing 
through a gap of the Cascade Mountains it forms a series of rapids or cascades, which are sepa- 
rated from each other by quiet stretches of water from 25 to 30 miles long. The mouth of the 
Columbia is an estuary 30 miles long and C miles wide, and opens into the ocean between Cape 
Disappointment and Point Adams. Steamers ply on the lower river to the foot of the lowest 
cascade, a distance of 140 miles ; and above the highest cascade, to Old Fort Walla Walla. A 
railroad around the cascades connects the lower and upper parts of stream navigation. The dis- 
tance from the source to the mouth is about 670 miles, the length of the river, 1,150 miles, and the ' 
territory <lraiued by it, 33S,SS0 square miles. The Columbia receives numerous, and some ver.v 
large tributaries. The Flat Row Fork rises in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and 
flows S. into Montana, then returns W. N. W. into Columbia, and joins the parent stream near 
the southern extremity of the Lower Arrow lake. Clark''s Fork is formed by Flat Head River 
and Bitter Root River. The former rises in the Rocky Mountains south of Kootanie Pass, flows 
south through Flat Head Lake, and then turns W. Bitter Root River rises in the Big Hole 
Mountains, and pursues a northerly course through a magnificent valley between the Bitter 
Boot Mountains and the Rocky Mountains. It receives Blackfoot River and Big Hole River from 
the east. From the junction of the Flat Head and Bitter Root rivers Clark's Fork flows to the 
N. W. along the base of tho Cceur d'AUene Mountains, passes through Lake Pend d'Oreille, and 
joins the Columbia near the 49tli parallel. The Spokane River rises in the Bitter Root Mountains, 
flows westward through CcBur d'Allene Lake, and joins the Columbia in 47° 46' N. lat. 

The Snake River or Lewises Fork, rises in the Wind River Mountains, flows to the south along 
the eastern base of the Teton Range, and then passes through a mountain gap between this range 
and the Bear River Mountains. After its junction with Henry's Fork it flows south-west through 
the extensive Camas prairie, and is deflected to the west by the rocky plateau in southern Idaho, 
which separates it from Humboldt River. In 116° 45' W. long, it turns north, forms the boun- 
dary between Oregon and Idaho, and passing through south-eastern Washington, empties into 
the Columbia about 10 miles north of tho Old Fort Walla Walla. The Snake is a magnificent 
Stream, marked in many jiarts of its course by the most impressive mountain scenery. It forms 
several falls of great dimensions, hardly, if at all, inferior to those of Niagara. The largest afflu- 
ents are Godin's River, Mo Arthur River, Salmon River, and Clear Water River, all in Idaho ; Paloose 
River, in south-eastern Wasliington ; and Owyhee River, Malheur River, and Grande Roiinde River, 
in Oregon. Below the junction with Snoke River, the Columbia receives the Johii Day's river, 
"Which rises ia the Blue Mountains, the Des Chutes or Falls, which flows along the eastern base of 
the Cascade Mountains ; and Willamette River, which traverses a very productive valley in west- 
ern Oregon, between the Cascade Mountains and the Coast Ranges. The two largest rivers of 
California, the Sacramento and San Joaquin, empty into the Bay of San Francisco. (See article 
California.) 

The Colorado River of the West, which empties into the Gulf of California, is formed by the 
confluence of the Greene and Grand rivers. The former rises in the Wind River Mountains, 
the loftiest of the Rocky Mountain ranges of Wyoming, and flows south across the elevated 



12 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

plateau over which passes the Union Pacific K. R. The Uintah Mountains deflect it to 
the E. Turning their eastern base it flows again S., through an extensive basin between the 
Wahsatcli and the Kocky mountains. Near tlie 3Sth parallel it joins Grand River. This large 
stream rises in the Middle Park of Colorado, breaks through the western range of the Rocky- 
Mountains, and flows south-west, between the Book and the Elk mountains. Erom the junction 
of the Green and the'&'/-a?id rivers, the Colorado pursues its south-westerly course and enters 
those stupendous chasms in the White Mesa, known as the Great Canyon. At CoUville, in south- 
eastern Nevada, it emerges from this canyon, and flows due south, passing through valleys and 
other canyons, until it crosses the low Colorado Desert, and at last mingles its waters with those 
of the Gulf of California. The length of the Colorado from the source of Green River to the Gulf 
is over 1,000 miles, and it drains a territory of -227,000 square miles. Its -western tributaries are 
small, but the eastern are large streams. The Rio Sun Juan, or Rio Blanco, rises in the Sierra 
Mimbres, and has a westerly course. The Lilile Colorado, or Flax River, rises in the Zuni Moun- 
tains, and flows along the southern margin of the White Mesa, passing, like the parent sti-eam, 
through deep canyons, Gila River rises in the mountains of south-western New Mexico, and 
with a*ortuous westerly course passes numerous mountain chains and joins the Colorado near 
the south--western corner of Arizona. 

3. The rivers wliich empty into the Gulf of Mexico drain the great central plain of the United 
States. The water-shed which divides this region from the drainage systems of the Pacittc and 
Atlantic oceans, maybe described as follows : Beginning in southern New Mexico, it trends nortli- 
ward along the mountain ranges which border the valley of the Rio Grande and the South Park on 
the west. It tlien crosses to the east, and sweeping around the Middle Park, again follows the west- 
ern chain of the Rocky Mountains, as far north as the 4.ith parallel, where it turns east around 
the head-waters of Missouri River. From the 4Gth parallel it trends north-west along the crest ' 
of the eastern chain of the Rocky Mountains. The northern water-shed which divides the afflu- 
ents of the Mississippi from thoso of Lake Winnepeg and the Great Lakes, trends through Dako- 
tah, passes between Lake Traverse and Big Stone Lake, follows the Height of Land in northern 
Mmnesota, and then passes through Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, not 
far distant from the southern shores of Lakes Michigan and Erie. The eastern wafer-shed pa.ssea 
through the undulating plateau of western Pennsylvania, then follows the Alleghany Mountains 
to Groat Kanawha River, where it crosses over to the Blue Ridge. It follows this range through 
Virginia and North Carolina, and leaving it near' the head-waters of Savannah River, it trends 
South througli Georgia and Florida. 

This immense territory, the limits of which are indicated by the lines thus sketched, exceeds 
the area of western Europe, and comprises the most favored and productive region of the United 
States. The great streams which traverse it are navigable for immense distances, and atford the 
most extensive network of water communication on the globe. 

The largest of these rivers is the j\rississippi, which, rising near the northern boundary of the 
United States, intersects this area from north to south, in such a manner that two-thirds is west 
and one-third east of its channel. Its source lies in northern Minnesota, on the Height of Land, 
at an elevation of 1,G80 feet, and at a distance in a straight line of 1,205 miles from its mouth, while 
the length of the river is 2,(U() miles. It drains an area of 1,244,000 square miles. Several of its 
tributaries are rivers of the flrst class in point of magnitude, and discharge the di-ainage from, 
the Appalachian Mountains in the east, and the Rocky Mountains in the west, into the parent 
stream. The principal tributaries from the cast are the Tllsconsin River, the Illinois River, the 
0/iio River, which is formed by the junction of the Monongahelu and Alleghany rivers, at Pitts- 
burgh, and receives numerous large affluents, as the Muskingum, Scioto, Miami, Wabash, tlie Great 
Kenaivha, Keniucky Cumberland, and Tennessee Rivers ; tho Yazoo River und X\\e Big Ulack River. 
The principal western tributaries of the Mississippi are the Minnesota River, the Des Moines River-, 
which intersects Iowa ; tho Missouri River, which rises in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and 
greatly exceeds in length the Mississippi River above its junction, being 2,908 miles long, and 
which receives such largo streams as the Yelloio Stone, the Platte, the Kansas and the Osage ; tho 
Arkansas River, rising among tho Rocky Mountains of Colorado ; and the Red River, rising on the 
Llano Estacado, 

The streams emptying into the Gulf west of the Mississippi are those which intersect Texas, as 
the Sabine, Trinity, Brazos, Colorado, Neuces ; and the Rio Grande, which forms the boundary 
between Texas and Mexico. The latter rises in the San Juan Mountains, flows thi-ough the San 
Luis Park, in New Mexico, and pursues a southerly course to the 33d parallel. Thence it turns 
south-cast, and empties into the Gulf south of the Laguna Madre and near the small village of 
Bagdad. Its largest tributary is tho Pecos River. 

To the east of the Mississippi the following rivers empty into the Gulf of Mexico: the 
Mobile River, formed by the junction of the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers; the Alabuma, 
formed by the Cahnwba and Coosa rivers, which unite above Montgomery ; tho Appalachicola 
River, formed by the junction of tho Chattahoochee -Awd Flint rivers, the Suwanee River, which 
rises in southern Oeorgia and intersects northern Florida,

IV. CI.IMATE AND VEGETATION. 

The region occupied by the United States lias a highlj^ favorable climatic situation, being 
Witliin the warm belt of tlie temperate zone. Its northern boundary is 17J^° of latitude 
from the southern limit of the frigid zone, and its southern approaches within 1)4° of the tropic 
of Cancer. Thus it is equally exempt from extremes of heat and cold, and with the exception 
of the Arctic territory of Alaska, and the highest regions of the Cordilleras, the temperature of 
the United States throughout is such as is most conducive to the development and growth of 
civilized communities. Rain and moisture, sufficient for vegetation, prevail over the greater 
portion of the land. 

In studying the climate of any country we must ascertain two facts : 1, its mean annual tem- 
perature ; and 2, the distribution of the temperature throughout the seasons of the year. By 
mean annual temperature is understood the arithmetical mean or average of all observations 
made during the year. Thus, when a place is said to have a mean annual temperature of 40°, the 
amount of heat it receives during the year is such, that if equally distributed, it would make the 
temperature of that place all the time 40^, and the thermometer would be stationary at that 
lioight. Under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution and the Medical Department of the 
Army, observations on temperature, rain-fall, direction of winds, etc., have been and are being 
made at numerous localities, and the published results furnish ample material to the Inquii-er. 
A brief summary only can here be given of the climatic facts. The I'eader is also referred to 
Lorin Blodget's '■^Climatology of the United States,'''' which contains, besides meteorological tables, a 
number of charts graphically exhibiting the lines of equal mean temperature, '■'■isothermal lines" 
(for the seasons and for the year), and the distribution of rain. 

As regards climate and vegetation, the United States may be divided into two portions. The 
first embraces the eastern part of the country (nearly % of its area) and extends from the Atlantic 
coast to the Great Plains ; the second embraces the Great Plains and the Cordilleras, and extends 
to the Pacific coast. 

1. Eastern Portion. — The characteristic feature of tl^is portion is the comparative uniform- 
ity in the distribution of temperature. Localities of the same latitude do not greatly differ in 
mean annual temperature, and the isothei'mal lines cross the country in a general east and west 
direction. The coldest parts of this portion are northern Minnesota and northern Maine, which 
have a mean annual temperature of 3tP and 40° respectively. From these localities the mean an- 
nual temperature steadily increases toward the south, until the highest limit (75°) is reached in 
soutliern Florida and at the mouth of the Rio Grande. 

In the distribution of temperature throughout the months and seasons, the country cast of the 
Appalachian IMountains differs materially from the Mississippi Valley, the latter being charac- 
terized by far greater extremes. Cambridge, Mass., and Dubuque, Iowa, lie in about the same 
latitude, and have nearly the same mean annual temperature. The coldest month in Cambridge 
has a mean temperature of 25^ degrees, and in Dubuque, ]7J^ degrees, while the hottest month 
in the former place is 09 5-6 degrees, and in the latter, 75 degrees. Thus the difference between 
the coldest and warmest month of the year is nearly 14 degrees greater in Dubuque than in Cam- 
bridge. 

The following two tables further illustrate this important fact :

The mean annual temperature of this portion is much lower than that of western Europe. 
New York, in 41° north latitude, has about the same mean annual temperature as Brussels, in 
Belgium, although it is 10 degrees farther south ; and other places on both sides of the Atlantic 
exhibit similar differences. 



14 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

This is mainly owing to the influence of the oceanic currents, in connection with the prevail ni!» 
winds. The summers in this portion, however, are as warin as, or even warmer than, those of 
Europe under the same latitudes, while the winters are colder. This relation is more strongly 
pronounced in the northern parts than in the southern. The summers in the northern parts aro 
as warm as those of Italy, while the winters are as cold as those of Norway and Swcilen. This 
renders possible the cultivation of the cereals in the United States in much higher latitudes than 
the mean annual temperature would seem to permit. 

The area of the United States is ahnost entirely within the zone of variable winds. In this 
zone the wind blows successively from all points of the compass, veering round, according to 
the law pointed out by Dove, from west to south, then to east and north. . The changes are pro- 
duced by two primary atmospheric currents, the one tending from the north toward the equator, 
and the other in the opposite direction, which alternately displace each other. Westerly winds, 
however, predominate over all others. Outof J,073 to 1,095 observations made during iJ^.iil, nearly 
500 indicated westerly winds at Portland, Me.; 638 at Atlanta, Ga.; and 4.5G at Dnbuciue, Iowa. The 
remaining observations indicated northerly, easterly and southerl5' winds, or calms. 

During the summer months, when the zone of the trade winds extends to the 30th parallel, the 
southern part of the United States is witliin this zone and should experience the north-cast 
ti-ades. But this is not the case ; the prevailing winds, on the contrary, blo\v (luite regularly from 
the south and the south-west (that is from the Gulf of Mexico), and their influence is felt as far 
as Cineiniiati and St. Louis. They are the trade winds, deflected from the sea toward the land, 
by the greater heat of the latter, and in cause and etfect rcseinble the summer raonsoons of the 
«East Indies. At St. l/ouis, according to Englemann, the south and south-east winds are the pre- 
vailing ones from April to October, in thootlier months the west and north-west winds. Hum- 
phreys and Abbott remark, that near the mouth of the Mississippi the wind veers round toward 
the south and continues to blow from that quarter and from the east during the summer and 
learly part of the autumn. 

These deflected trades give to the Mississippi Valley its moist and semi-tropical summer cli- 
mate. The region immediately north of Mobile and Mississippi Sound lias an annual rain-fall of 
63 inches, while Louisiana and Mississippi near tiio groat river receive 00 inches. Thence north- 
east and west the amount steadily decreases. It is but 30 inches in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and 
Michigan; 45 Inches in Illinois; and 36 inches near the western ranges of the Appalachians, in 
Kentucky, Tennessee, and eastern Ohio. The western limit of the deflected trades coincides with 
the eastern limit of those arid plains, stretching several hundred miles in breadth along the 
eastern base of the Rocky Mountains. 

The sea-board is also well supplied with moisture. The rain-fall in southern Florida is 03 inches ; 
in Georgia, 50 inches ; in the Carolinas, 48 inches ; in Virginia, 45 inches ; and in Pennsylvania, 
New York, and New England, "from 40 to 4-Z inches per annum. 

The indigenous vegetation of the east is that of forests and prairies. The forest region extends 
from the Atlantic sea-coast to a line drawn from southern Slichigan to the mouth of Sabine River, 
thus including the southern part of the Mississippi Vallej*, but excluding the northern. West 
of this boundary line the country is covered chiefly by fertile prairies, which gradually merge 
into the arid plains. 

The forests are composed of a gi-eat variety of trees. In the north, the evergreens, pine, spruce, 
ard hemlock predominate, and among these the white pine (Pinus strobus) and the Canadian 
pine (P. canadensis) are representative forms. Deciduous trees, oak, elm, ash, maple, etc., 
.gradually replace the evergreens as we progress southward. In the latitude of Pennsj'lvania 
and Indiana the predominating trees are several species of oak, the chestnut, the black walnut 
(Juglans nigra), the hickory, the beech (Fagus ferruginea), thetulip tree (Liriodendron), and the 
sassafras. In the Southern states (below Tennessee and North Carolina) evergreen trees of 
another type appear, and influence the character of the woods. Such are the live oak (Quercus 
virens), the gordonia, the magnolia, which forms extensive groves in the vicinity of tlie Gulf 
coast ; and the palmetto, growing on the sea-board fi'om South Carolina to Florida. The Spanish 
moss (Tillandsia usnoides), an epiphyte bromeliacea, covers with its long, gray festoons exten- 
sive tracts of the southern forests, imparling to them a peculiarly somber character; and the 
coasts of Florida are lined with the mangrove (Rhizophora mangle). 

The prairies, which occupy so large a portion of the. United States, extend westward from the 
forest-belt, and are covered with grasses and various herbaceous plants. Trees grow in this wide 
region only on the bottom lamls of the rivers, many of which flow in deeply eroded vallej'S. 
The absence of forests on the prairies is caused chiefly by the scarcity of rain during tlie summer 
mont hs, when trees require moisture more than at any other time. 

2. The "Western Portion embraces a smaller area than the eastern. Its great elevation above 
the sea-level, and the presence of many lofty mountain chains, render its climate on the whole 
colder and more suliject to extremes than the eastern portion. The South Pass, in Wyoming has 
a mean annual temperature of 40 degrees, while localities in the same latitude in the cast have 50 
degrees. The isothermal line of iW degrees coincides, in the Rocky Mountains, with the 35th 
parallel, which in Arkansas and North Carolina has over 60 degrees. The chief peculiarity 
of this region is the great range of temperature in the daily changes. At sunrise thefther- 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. * 15 

mometer may indicate 30 degrees, or erea 24 degrees, and yet rise to 80 degrees and more 
by noon. 

Tlie Great Plains and elevated plateaus of the Cordilleras differ from other parts of the United 
States in possessing a very dry atmosphere, with the consequent rarity in the precipitation of 
rain. The prevalent westerly winds, depositing in the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada the 
moisttire gathered in their passage over the Pacific ocean, thence traverse the Great Basin nearly 
vaporless. The little moisture still left is arrested by the lofty crests of the Rocky Mountains, 
supplying them with a thin covering of snow. The small amount of rain which falls on the Great 
Plains is pi-obably brought there by northerly and easterly winds. This arid region nourishes* 
only a very scanty vegetation. The growth of trees is limited to the flanks and recesses of the 
more elevated mountains. The table-lands are covered with the wild sage (Artemisia), or with 
an efflorescence of alkali, which prevents vegetation. Their aspect is extremely dreary. The 
Great Plains east of the Rocky Mountains offer a vast pasture to the bison, deer, and antelope, in 
their buffalo or "grama" grasses, which, as the summer advances, dry up without losing their 
nutritive qualities. 

The region which extends from the 40th to the 50th parallel, and which comprises Idaho, Mon- 
tana, and Washington, is timbered more or less heavily with several varieties of firs and pines. 
The loftier mountain i-anges, from 6,000 to 8,000 feet in altitude, are clothed with a thick growth 
of tall black pines. West of the Bitter Root river, which washes the eastern base of the lofty 
range, called in one locality the Bitter Root, and in another the Coeur d' AUene Mountains, the 
character of the country changes. The streams which flow through the gorges and deflles of 
this region are conflned to narrow beds between mountain spurs, and the entire country is covered 
with almost impenetrable forests. West of this densely wooded mountain range extends the 
great plain of the Columbia river, on which no trees are seen, and which presents the appear- 
ance of a rolling ocean tossed by contending billows. Crossing this plain, and ascending the 
Cascade Mountains nearly to their crests, we again enter into timber which stretches thence in 
an almost unbroken forest to the Paciflc. This forest consists of gigantic pines and firs. Pinus 
douglassi, P. menziesii, P. mertensiana, and the Oregon Cedar (Thuj^a gigantea). A height of 
200, and even 250, feet is with the Douglass pine by no means exceptional. Washington territory 
is famous for the best Spar and ship timber in the United States, if not in the world. 

The comparatively narrow belt of country lying west of the summit line of the Siei-ra Nevada 
and the Cascade Mountains, and extending from the Columbia river to the southern extremity 
of California, differs essentially from the arid regions of the Cordilleras, and has a climate and 
vegetation quite distinct and peculiai'. It is greatly favored by mild, short, and rainy winters, and 
resembles the Mediterrairean countries of Europe (particularly Italy) in its rainless summers. 
The temperature is very equable, as will be seen from the following table :

Places on or near the sea-shore have a more uniform temperature than those farther inland. 
The cause of this must be sought in the cold ocean current washing the coast from north to south 
the influence of which does not extend beyond the Coast Ranges. 

From November to April north-westerly winds prevail uninteruptedly, and as they reach the 
overheated valleys they rather absorb than precipitate moisture. The rainy season is charac- 
terized by southerly and south-easterly winds, whose moisture is condensed in their passage 
over the land, as this is at that season of the year colder than the sea. The low plains and the 
Coast Ranges of California and Oregon are destitute of forests. In the vicinity of the ocean, 
where the moisture is not too rapidly evaporated, pines and oaks are found, as the Pinus coul- 
teri, P. sabiniana (the digger or silver pine), the Monterey pine and others ; but the heavy forests 
occur only in the higher portions of the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Mountains, which are ' 
exposed to the sea winds and condense their moisture. These forests are chiefly composed of 
pines, of which twenty-eight species are known. From 2,800 feet to 4,700 feet above the sea ever- 
green oaks are mixed Avith the pines, but the higher forest region presents almost exclusively 
coniferous trees; and here grow those gigantic mammoth pines (Sequoia gigantea), the redwood, 
etc., which are so famous for their extraordinary dimensions. 

V. POPUIiATIOBT. 

The total population of the United States, according 10 the ninth census (1870), is 38,853,217, and 
leaving out the Indian tribes, 38,555,983. There are but four of the great empires of the world 
exceeding this in number of inhabitants, to wit: 1. The Chinese Empire, 477,500,000 inhabi- 
tants. 2. The British Empii-e, 174,200,000 inhabitants. 3. The Russian Empire, 76,500,100.

S(i,000,000 inhabitants, and are next to the United States in population. But in rapid increase of 
population our country sui-passes all others, and must hold for many decades the foremost 
rank, as there is none that approaches it in natural wealth and resources. The following table

According to the tables submitted to the Statistical Congress at Berlin, in 18G3, by Samuel B. 
Kuggles : 

The United States increased in 60 years (1800-1 SfiO) 593 per cent.

The efficient causes of progress of population are annexation, immigration, and natural 
increase (the excess of births over deaths). The first of these factors has contributed but little. 
Louisiana, when purchased, had 77,000 inhabitants ; Florida, about 10,000 ; California and New 
Mexico, about 60,000 ; Texas and Oregon mainly brought back into the Union citizens who had 
emigrated thither but a short time before. Of far greater importance has been and will certainly 
be hereafter, the second factor, Iimnigration, which, though partially arrested bj^ the civil wai-, 
has expanded to the largest dimensions since the return of peace. Moreovei', the character of 
the immigrants has materially improved, as the intelligent and moneyed classes of Europe have 
become more interested in our extraordinary resources. America is no longer looked upon in 
foreign countries as a refuge for oppressed labor, but rather as a field for commercial and indus- 
trial enterprise, promising greater results than the combination of capital and labor can realize 
elsewhere. 

Kearly 10,000,000 of our population are foreigners or descendants of foreigners. It has been 
estimated that the population in 1850 would have been about 22,000,000 if all immigration had been 
arrested at the time of the Declaration of Independence. The population of the colonies at the 
commencement of the Revolutionary war was probablj' not far from 3,000,000 ; and the arrival of 
Immigrants, previous to the enactment of the passenger act of March 2, 1819, amounted to about 
2)0,000. Since that period the stream of immigration has steadily increased. The total iiumber 
of immigrants who arrived between October 1, 1819, and December 31, 1870, was 7,553,865. Includ- 
ing the 250,000 already here before October, 1819, the total number of aliens permanently added to 
our population by dii'ect immigration since the establishment of the government will reach 
7,803,865. 

It is obvious that this large influx of labor, partly skilled, partly unskilled, adds a large amount 
to the total wealth of the nation, however diiHcult it maybe to estimate this value in dollars and 
cents. Mr. Fr. Kapp, member of the German Parliament, assumes the average value of each 
immigrant to be $1,125. Mr. Edward Young, the able chief of the Bureau of Statistics, deems 
$1,000 as somewhat too large. The question is yet i^nanswered ; but if we accept $800 as being 
about the value of an immigrant, inclusive of the average amount in cash he brings with him, 
then the addition to the wealth of the country by immigration to 1871 reaches the stupendous 
sum of $f!,213,092 000.

The table shows how very unequal has been the increase in the different divisions of the coun- 
try. It has exceeded 100 per cent, in some of the new states and territories — Nevada, Nebraska, 
Kansas, Minnesota, Dakota. Utah, and Washington. It has been less than 100 per cent., and more 
than 50, in Iowa, Michigan, Oregon, and the District of Columbia. The increase has been still lesa 
in those older states which have attained aconxparatively high degree of development, and pos- 
sess a dense population, i. e., a lai-ge number of inhabitants to each square mile of area,. as Mary- 
land, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and others. The increase in the 
former slave states has been small, averaging but 17 per cent. Only four of them— Florida, Lou- 
isiana, Missouri and Texas— have grown more than 30 per cent., as they offei-ed extraordinary 
Inducements to immigrants, in the richness of their natural resources and the sparsity of their 
populations. The rate of increase of the New England states has been less than that of the 
United States at large. Maine and New Hampshire have slightly fallen off in population, 
although they have only eighteen and thirty-five inhabitants respectively to the square mile. 
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island are the most densely inhabited portions of the 
country, having respectively 182,114, and 167 inhabitants to the square mile ;. but their increase 
has been small, averaging but 18 per cent.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 



Four of the live races into whicli tlie human family is ordinarUy divided are represented in 
the population of tlie United States— tlie Indian, the Ethiopian, the Mongolian, and the 
Caucasian races ; or, classified by color— the Red, the Black, the Yellow, and the White 
races. The total number of Indians was, according to the last census, 383,712. Of these 25,731 
were living as broken bands in many of the states, sustaining no tribal relations ; 96,366 were 
upon government reservations and under agencies ; and 234,740 roamed as nomads over the thinly 
settled parts of the ^Vest. The Ethiopians or Negroes were imported into the colonies as slaves, 
previous to the Declaration of Independence. In 1790 they numbered 757,343 souls, 59,446 of whom 
were then free. In 1850 they had increased to 3,638,762, inclusive of the various shades of colored 
persons, and ten j-ears later, to 4,441,756, of whom 487,996 were free and 3,953,760 slaves. The last 
census gives their number as 4,868,387. The rate of increase from 1850 to 1860 was 22.35 per cent, 
but from 1860 to 1870, only 9.6 per cent., while the population of the country at large increased 
during the .same decades, 3.'5..39 and 22.64 per cent, respectively. 

In 1870 the proportion of the colored to the whole population was 14J^ to 100, a ratio by no 
means alarming in a political point of view. But it greatly varies in the different states : In. 
South Carolina and Mississippi the number of the colored people consldei-ably exceeds that of 
the whites; in all others the whites predominate. 

The following table exhibits the proportion of colored inhabitants to the whole population :

The Mongolian race is represented by Chinese and a few Japanese. The number of the latter 
is indeed so small, that they are not separately enumerated in the census. In 18G0 there were 
'35,565 Chinese in California only. At present they are found in twenty-three states. Asiatic 
immigration, says Mr. Edward Young, has not yet reached such proportions as to excjte alarm 
in the most apprehensive, and falls far short of what has been represented, never having reached 
in any single j-ear the number of l,i,000 ; forming only four per cent, of our total immigration. 
A peculiarity of the Chinese immigration is the small number of fenlales, not exceeding seven 
per cent, of the whole, a fact which seems to preclude a large increase of the pure race. 

The bulk of our population is of the Caucasian or white race, numbering 33,589,857, or 86.45 per 
■ cent, of the grand total of inhabitants, and belongs to that race-branch which ethnologists have 
called the Aryan, Indo-European, or Indo-Germanic. 

The Hebrews or Jews constitute the only Semitic element in our population, but their number 
cannot be ascertained, as they are not enumerated in any official count or report. If, however, 
■their number is to the entire i^opulationof the country as isthenumber of seats in the synagogues 
to the total of church accommodations in the country, then the Jews may be estimated to 
exceed 75,000 and to fall below 100,000. 

Of the Aryan race-branch the Ciermanic and Celtic nationalities have almost alone contributed 
to the making of the American nation. 

The English or Anglo-Saxons were the first settlers on our shores, and if not now the most 
numerous, have planted imperishably their language, institutions, and laws upon our soiL Ttie

new nation which is being formed out of the various elements will always exhibit the impress of 
their peculiar social ancl political characteristics. 

Germans came over and settled in this country at a vei"y early day, and their influx has, with 
unimportant intermissions, (t. e., for instance, during the Napoleonic wars) steadily continued, a 
large proportion going to the rural districts and developing the agricultural resources. In Penn- 
sylvania and the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia there are districts whose inhabitants are mainly 
descendants of the early German settlers from the Palatinate, and still speak a German dialect. 
The Swedes colonized the western shore of Delaware River, and the Dutch or Hollanders the 
southern part of the state of New York. 

The Irish represent the Celtic element in our population. From 1601 to 1745 the influx of this 
element amounted to 263,000 souls (according to Thomas Newenham's " Statistical and Historical 
Inquiry into the Progress and Magnitude of Ireland"). The 165,000 persons who immigrated from 
1790 to 1814 were mainly Irisli (probably nine-tenths). They settle in the large cities and towns or 
in the manufacturing districts. The majority of laborers in the industrial establishments of 
Kew England, and on railroads and canals, are Irish, and not many go into the rural disti-icts. 

The Romanic nations of Europe have also sent their quota across the Atlantic, although a small 
one. French Huguenots, persecuted at home for their religion, settled in South Carolina. Mis- 
souri and Louisiana, when ceded to the United States, were mostly inhabited by Frenchmen ; 
and the annexation of Florida, Texas, California, and New Mexico, added a few thousand Span- 
iards and Spanish half-breeds to our population. 

The Slavonic nations have contributed to our increase still less than the Romanic. The few 
Russians, Poles, and others, who land on our shores are soon lost in the great mass. 

The question as to the proportion in which the nationalities above mentioned are represented 
to-day among the American people is one of considerable ethnographic interest. From the 
nature of the inquiry a rougli estimate only can be given. We take as the basis the census for 
1S20, previous to which the nationality of immigrants was not specified. The white population in 
that year was 7,862,166. Since then the direct white immigration has been about 7,300,000. In 1870 
the white population had increased to 33,586,989. 

If the sum of the first two numbers is deducted from the last, the remainder (about 17,930,000), 
is that part of the increase which is owing to the excess of births over deaths. If we then distrib- 
ute the Avhite population of 1820, and the direct white immigration since 1820. among the nation- 
alties above mentioned, and add to each its proportionate share of the increase due to the 
excess of births over deaths (17,930,000), we shall obtain approximately the numerical strength of 
each nationality in the American people. 

The follo^vlng results in round numbers are based upon this estimate and calculation, and 
though not claiming for them a great degree of accuracy, we think that they are not vei-y far 
from the truth : 

1. Anglo-Saxons *■ 8,340,000 inhabitants 

2. Germans, including Prussians, Austrians and Swiss 8,930,000 " 

3. Other Germanic nations, as Dutch and Scandinavians 728,000 " 

Germanic nations 17,998,000 " 

4. Celts, principally Irish 10,2.'i5,000 " 

5. Romanic nations, as French, Spaniards, Portuguese, and Italians 1,016,000 " 

6. All other nationalities 4,326,000 " 

Total white inhabitants in 1870 33,595,000 

The number of natives descended purely from one or the other stock is still large. Intermar- 
riages between persons of different nationalities are, however, quite common. Were the fusioa 
of these diverse elements complete, then, of 100 drops of American blood, 25 would be Anglo- 
Saxon, '27 German, 2 Dutch or Scandinavian, 303^ Celtic, 3 Romanic, and 12^ uncertain.

TI. CITIES. 

The last census report contains the names of 374 incorporated cities, whicli vary in populatioa 
from 1,214 (Tuscumbia, Ala.,) to 942,292 (New York). There are but flfty-one cities with a popula- 
tion exceeding 2.5,000 ; and of these tweaty-seven have from 25,000 to 50,000 iuhabitauts ; eleven 
from 50,000 to 100,000 ; seven, from 10»,000 to 250,000; and six, over 230,000. 

The subjoined table shows the distribution of the cities in the different states. It will bo 
noticed that New York and Massachusetts have the greatest number of large cities. The principal 
cities of the centi-al states lie either upon the lakes, as Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, and 
Milwaukee ; or upon the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, as St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Louis- 
ville, and Cincinnati.

The growth of the cities has been far more rapid than that of the open country. Thus the 
city of Xcw York increased during the last decade 19 per cent. ; Kew Haven, Conn., 29 per 
cent. ; Boston, 41 per cent. ; Portland, Me., 19 percent.; Baltimore, 26 per cent. ; Richmond, Va., 
34 per cent. ; ratios which are far in advance of their respective states. Philadelphia, with 
19 per cent., alone shows a smaller gi-owth than its state with 21 per cent. Jersey City has 
made a progress (1.S3 per cent.) even more rapid than the most prosperous cities west of the 
Alleghanies. Pittsburgh increased 75 per cent.; Buffalo, 45; Cleveland, 114; Detroit, 74; Chicago, 
16«; Milwaukee, 58; St. Louis, 93; Cincinnati, 35; Indianapolis, 159; Louisville, 4S ; andSan Fran- 
Cisco, 103. The Southern cities advance less rapidly. New Orleans shows an increase of 39 per 
cent, and Mobile of only 9. The most remarkable growth apparently was that of Scranton, Pa., 
which increased 261 per cent. 

VII. OCCrPATIOXS ABTD BRANCHES OF INDUSTBT. 

The total number of persons employed in gainful and reputable occupations, for which they 
receive compensation in the shape of wages or salary, or from which they derive products of a 
merchantable character, was, in 1870, 12,.505,923,of which 10,069,635 were males, and 1,836,288 females. 
In a majority of the states the number of those who had no recognized occupations was quite 
large ; but of the 10,429,150 males between the ages of 16 and 59 inclusive, 9,486,734 were accounted 
for in the tables of the census, while of 989,516 above the age of 60, 634,837 were accounted for. The 
difference in the former period (i. e., 16 to 59) is substantially made up, first, by the number of 
students pursuing courses of instruction ; second, by the number of persons afflicted with bodily 
or mental infirmities disqualifying them from participating in the industry of the countiy; 
third, by the members of the pauper and criminal classes. 

The total number of females above the age of 16, not accounted for in the census, was in the 
neighborhood of 9,100,000. But of these probably 7,400,000 were occupied in "keeping house," 
others attended school, and the remainder was made up of various classes, such as giown-up 
daughters living at home, widowed mothers supported by their children, ladies living upon 
the income of accumulated property, as well as paupers, vagrants, and criminals. 

The census report classifies all the various occupations under four heads : 

1. Agriculture, in which were employed a grand total of 5,922,471 persons. Of these 
2,977,711 were farmers antl planters, 2,885,996 agricultural laborers, 31,435 gardeners and nursery- 
men, 6,588 stock raisers, and 5,590 stock herders. 

2. Under the head of Professional and Personal Services, the census enumerates 72 distinct occu- 
pations, with 2,684,793 persons. Laborers, not specified, greatl j' pi-edominated, numbering 1,031,- 
666. Of the 975,734 domestic servants, 108,380 were males, and 867,354 females. Thus only 1 out of 
every 8.7 of the 7,579,863 families enjoyed the assistance of female help. The majority of the ser- 
vants were natives of the United States, viz. : 728,180 ; 145,956 were natives of Ireland ; 42,866, of 
Germany, 14,878, of British America ; 12,531, of England ; and 5,420, of China. Barbei's and haiir dress- 
ers numbered 23,935 ; boarding and lodging-house keepers, 12,785 ; hotel keepers, 26,394 ; restaurant 
keepers, 3^>,1S5 ; clerks in hotels and restaurants, 5,245 ; other employees in these establishments, 
23,438 ; clerks and employees in government ofiices, 23,079 ; launderers and laundresses, 60,906. The 
learned professions were thus represented : authors and lecturers, 458 ; chemists, 608 ; metallur- 
gists, 1(54 ; clergymen, 43,874 ; dentists, 7,839 ; civil engineers, 4,703 ; journalists, 5,286 ; land survey- 
ors, 2,671 ; lawyers, 40,736; naturalists, 287; physicians and surgeons, 62,383 ; and veterinary sur- 
geons, 1,169. The different branches of the fine arts included 2,017 architects, 934 designers and 
draftsmen, 775 painters, 250 sculptors, and 2,948 artists not specified. There were 136,570 teachers, 
9,491 of whom taught music, 108 drawing and painting, and 149 dancing. 

3. The title Trade and Transportation includes the commercial classes, numbering 1, 191,233 per- 
sons, of whom 14,362 were bankers and brokers, employing 10,265 oflicials, clerks, and others ; the 
railroads absorbed the activity and services of 163,303 pei'sons ; the telegraphs of 8,579 ; and the ex- 
Ijress comi^anics, of 9,.396. The ti-adcrs and dealers of all classes numbered 1,262,268, who employed 
222,504 clerks, 31,177 book-keepers and accountants, 7,262 commercial travelers, and 14,203 salesmen 
or saleswomen. The sailors numbered 56,663 ; the boatmen and watermen, 21,332 ; the canalraen, 
7,338 ; steamboatmen and women, 7,975 ; and the shippers and freighters, 3,567. 

4. In the Manufactures, and Mechanical and Mining Industries, there were engaged 2,707,421 per- 
sons, of whom 344,596 were carpenters, 171,127 boot and shoemakers, 161,820 tailors and seamstresses, 
152,107 miners, 141,774 blacksmiths, 111,606 cotton-mill operatives, 58,838 woolen-miU operatives, 
41,619 mill and factory operatives not specified, 80,710 masons, 85,123 painters and vamishers, 39,- 
860 printers, and 42,877 manufacturers. 

Till. AGBICUI.TIJBE. 
The great majority of the people of the United States are engaged in agriculture, which here 
as elsewhere forms the basis of national wealth. With happy peculiarities of climate, extent 
of territory through so many degrees of latitude or isothermal belts, and an immense area of 
most fertile soil, we enjoy extraordinary advantages for producing agricultural staples in 
great variety and abundance. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 23 

The importance of the agricultural interest is fully recognized by the government and the 
people. In 186-2 the Deparlment of Agriculture was established by act of Congress, for thepurpose 
of collecting statistics, introducing from foreign lands seeds of new plants, testing their adap- 
tability to our soil and climate, and disseminating information to the farmers. Agricultural 
colleges have been established in many of the states, and agricultui-al periodicals are published 
in nearly all parts of the country. 

But farming is, as yet, a business rather than a profession. Too much land is superficially- 
cultivated and soon exhausted. The very perfection of the labor-saving machines and imple- 
ments, in which this country surpasses all others, promotes the process of wearing out the sur- 
face soil. In all the older states there are large tracts which formerlj' produced twice as 
much corn or wheat to the acre as they produce now. It has l^ecome doubtful whether farming 
pays in New England : and the country population there is gradually decreasing. The older 
tobacco plantations of Maryland and Virginia have been in many instances abandoned, and a 
large propoi-tion of the southern cotton-lands have ceased to yield profitable returns. Tlie yield 
of wheat fifty years ago in Ohio was 30 bushels to the acre ; to-day it is not quite 15. An English 
traveler was surprised by the extraordinary productiveness of the wheat flelds near Albany, N. Y., 
in 1775, which yielded from 30 to 40 bushels per acre, with inferior cultivation. In 1855 winter 
"Wheat yielded 11^ bushels, and spring wheat but 5. The present method of farming will probably 
prevail as long as farmers can go West and obtain fresh land for a comparatively low price. But 
when the vast amount of virgin soil yet awaiting the arrival of the husbandman shall have been 
all taken up and made to yield its dormant treasures, lands will necessarily increase in value, 
thoroughly scientiflc cultivation will become profitable, and agriculture will rise to the dignity 
of a learned profession. 

According to the last census report, the aggregate area of the faniis of the United States 
comprised 407,735,041 acres, or about 21 per cent, of the entire surface. Of this amount 
189,000,000, or somewhat over 9 per cent., were "improved," i. e., cleared land, used for grazing, 
grass, or tillage, or lying fallow. These figures show what an immense amount of land is yet 
open to the settler. In 1860 the improved lands comprised 163,000,000 of acres, and in 1850, 113,000,000. 
The rate of progress will hereafter, probably, not fall short of 4,000,000 of acres per annum. At 
this rate it will still take about two hundred and fifty years before the cultivable portion of the 
United States (somewhat more than one-half of the entire area) will be improved. 

The total area in woodland was 159,310,177 acres, or 39 per cent, of the aggregate of acres in 
farms. The Southern states are remarkably well wooded ; the twelve states from Maryland to 
Tennessee averaging in woods 52 per cent, of their farm area ; the New England states have 32 
per cent, of woods ; the Middle states 28 per cent. ; and the Central states, from West Virginia to 
Nebraska, 32 per cent. The territories are not ricli in woods, except Washington, which has 44 
per cent. California has but 4 per cent, of its farm area in woodland ; Nebraska, 10; Kansas , 11 ; 
Iowa, 16 ; Illinois, 19 ; Indiana, 39 ; Ohio, 31 ; Kentucky, 48 ; and W est Virginia, 51. 

The cash value of farms in 1870 was .$9,262,803,861 (against $6,645,045,007, in 1860) ; and of farm imple- 
ments, $336,878,4-29. The wages paid during the year amounted to $310,-286,285, and the value of all 
farm products, including betterments and increase of stock, reached the large sum of $2,447,538,658 • 
inadditiontowhich the orchards produced .$47,335,189, and the market gardens, $20,719,229. New 
York, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri, rank first in the value of farm 
products. 

The value of animals slaughtered or sold -was $398,9.56,376 ; of home manufactures, $23,423,332 ; and 
of forest products, $36,808,277. If these sums ai-e added to those of the farm, oi-chard, and garden 
products, the grand total of agricultural activity amounts to $2,974,781,059, or about $80 for each 
inhabitant of the country. 

The live stock comprised 7,145,370 hoi-ses, 1,125,415 asses and mules, 8,935,332 milch cows, 1,319,271 
working oxen, 13,563,605 other cattle, 28,477,951 sheep, and 25,134,559 swine. The total value of all 
live stock was $1,5-25,276,475. 

The census returns of domestic animals include only those on farms. No pro-vision is 
made for enumeration of horses, cattle, and other animals,kept for work, milk, and fattening, in 
cities, or those in transitu to the feeder and butcher. The statistician of the' Department of 
Agriculture estimates the number of cattle not on farms, in 1870, 4,273,973, or 15 per cent, of the 
aggregate returned ; and the number of horses, 1,547,370, or 18 per cent. 

Illinois had the largest number of horses, 853,738, or 34 horses to every 100 inhabitants ; then 
follow Ohio with 609,722, or 23 horses to 100 inhabitants ; New York, with 536,861, or 12 horses to 
100 inhabitants ; and Indiana with 497,883, or 30 horses to lOO inhabitants. 

Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama, had the largest number of mules and 
asses. The Northern states had but few. 

The principal sheep-raising states are Ohio (about five million sheep), California (two and two- 
third millions). New York (over two millions), Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Penn- 
sylvania, and Wisconsin (from one to two millions each).

In 1870 there were in the United States 2,659,985 farms, wliich had an average extent of about 
150 acres. Over one-lialf of the farms covered from 20 to 100 acres. According to the classifica- 
tion of the census report, 0.3 per cent of all tlie farms were below 3 acres ; 6.4 per cent, had from 
3 to 10 acres; 11.1 per cent., from 10 to 20 acres; 31.9 per cent., from 20 to 50 acres; 28.3 per cent., from 
50 to 100 acres ; 21.2 per cent., from lOO to 500 acres ; 0.6 per cent., from 500 to 1,000 acres ; and but 0.2 
per cent, moi-e than 1,000 acres. 

Tlie avei-age size of farms has considerably decreased since 1860 ; except in Wisconsin, where no 
change has taken place ; in Massachusetts, where it h.as increased fi-om 94 to 103 acres ; and in 
California, where it has i-isen from 486 to 4.82 acres. In North Carolina it has decreased from 316 
to 212 acres ; in South Carolina, from 4as to 233 ; in Mississippi, from 370 to 193 ; in Texas, from .591 to 
301. In the central states the decrease is less marked ; and was from 146 to 128, in Illinois ; from 
114 to 111, in Ohio ; from 211 to 1,58, in Kentucky; and from 165 to 134, in Iowa. 

Irri(/ation.—Thnt portion of the United States which includes the Cordilleras and the Great 
Plains, suffers, as has been stated, from either scarcity or absence of moisture. Agriculture there 
■will always be impossible, except in favored spots, which admit of irrigation from the rivers 
and creeks. But even in the most favored states of the Mississippi valley irrigation would be 
exceedingly pi-ofl table. The yield of meadows would thereby be doubled and trebled, and that 
of the grain flelds at least greatly increased. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 25 

The great staples of the United States are the cei-eals— corn, wheat, rye, oats, and barley ; pota- 
toes, rice, tobacco, cotton, wool, and dairy products. 

Indian Corn, or Maize, is the only cereal indigenous to the American continent, and is the most 
extensively cultivated food-plant of the United States. It requires great suminer heat, and 
hence our climate is peculiarly adapted to its culture. The northern limit may be represented 
by the summer isotherm of (55°, which excludes northern Maine, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, the 
valley of the St. Lawrence, and the larger portion of the Pacific coast. Its yield varies from 30 
to 80 bushels to the acre. The total product amounted in 1870 to 760,944,519 bushels. Illinois pro- 
. duced over one-sixth of the whole amount ; Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio, each a little over one- 
twelfth ; and then followed Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. 

Wheat requires a cooler climate than corn, and its range extends farther north, but not as far 
south. It is, on the east of the Rocky Mountains, a reliable crop as far as the Saskatchawan val- 
ley, in 54° lat., and on the Pacific coast as high as 60° lat. The average yield, with careful culti- 
vation and good soil, is about 30 bushels to the acre. Forty bushels Is considered an extraordi- 
nary crop, but in the irrigated region of Utah and Colorado a yield of 60 bushels is not excep- 
tional. In 1870 there wei'e produced in the United States 112,549,733 bushels of spring wheat, and 
175,195,893 of winter wheat ; together, about 288,000,000 bushels. Iowa, "Wisconsin, Minnesota, Cali- 
fornia, and Illinois produced the largest quantities of spring wheat ; Ohio, Indiana, Pennsyl- 
vania, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and New York, of winter wheat. 

Rye is a much hardier plant than wheat, and is cultivated mostly in the extreme northern or 
the more elevated parts of the country. Its cultivation is much less profitable than that of 
wheat. The total yield in 1870 was 16,918,795 bushels, of which Pennsylvania, New Tork, Illinois, 
Wisconsin, and Kentucky produced the largest amount. 

The cereal, Oats, is so well adapted to either cold or warm climates, that it maybe cultivated in 
nearly every portion of our country. It produces from 30 to 80 bushels to the acre. The yield in 
1870 was 282,107,157 bushels, which were raised cliiefly in the Northern and Middle states, as Illi- 
nois, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota. 

Barley also is a product of the north, and is almost exclusively used for the manufacture of 
malt beer. It yielded in 1870, 29,961,305 bushels, the greater portion of which was produced in 
California and New York. 
The product of the cereals, from 1850 to 1870, was as follows :

The money value of the 1,330,029,400 bushels of cereals produced In 1867 is officially stated by 
the Department of Agr-iculture to be $1,248,037,000. 
The area of cereals, in acres, is reported by the same department as follows :

Buckwheat 1,327,826 

The large crops of 1870 were produced by the farming population of over thirty-eight millions 
of inhabitants, being at the rate of 33 bushels a head for the whole population. If it is correct 
to assume that eight bushels of cereals are sufficient to support one person for one year, the United 
States had a surplus of 25 bushels per inhabitant for exportation or an aggregate of 1,000 millions 
of bushels. A very large portion of this surplus, however, was fed to swine and other animals, 
and reappeared in the form of animal food, while a not inconsiderable quantity was distilled into 
whisky and other spirituous liquors, or converted into starch, etc. 

The total production of cereals is on an average moi-e than twice as large for each inhabitant 
of the United States, as it is in Europe. This enormous production is in great measure owing to 
the numerous machines for sowing, planting, reaping, threshing, and preparing the grain for mar- 
ket, which are the result of the inventive genius of the American people, saving the labor and 
taking the place of millions of men ; and that, too, at seasons of the j'car when men in sufficient 
numbers could not be obtained. The number of reaping machines actively employed in 1866 was 
estimated by Mr. John Stanton Gould at 210,000, a number which since then must have greatly 
Increased. 

Jtice is pre-eminently the grain of the subtropical zone. It requires a great deal of moisture,

and can be cultivated only on fields ■which are subject to inundation, either natural or artificial. 
Rice culture is described thus: "A sluice is cut through the river banks, and the fields, being 
first inclosed in a levee, are fiooded. The land is plowed and flooded in March, and as soon as 
the young plants appear, they are submerged in water, so regulated as to keep their heads just 
above the surface. When the grain has matured, the fields are laid dry, and the crop is gathered. 
The yield is from 30 to 60 bushels per acre, but under favorable conditions rises as high as 90 
bushels." Rice was introduced into Virginia early in the seventeenth century, and fifty years later 
into the Carolinas. It is also cultivated now along the coasts of Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, and 
Texas. The total crop in the United States was 80,»41,4-22 pounds, in IStO; 215,31-2,710, in 1850, 
187,167,032, in 1860; and 73,635,021, in 1870. The great decrease in its production for the last decade i3 
owing to the civil war. During this war labor was entirely disorganized; fiood-gates, drains, 
canals and barns were destroyed, and when peace returned rice culture bad well nigh ceased. In 
1860 rice to the value of $2,507 399 was exported ; in 1870 the export had fallen to $127,655. 

I'obucco is indigenous in America, and was first introduced livto Europe by Sir Walter Kaleigh. 
Since then the consumption has enormously increased, so that its culture has extended to every 
part of the civilized world where the conditions of soil and clim.ate are favorable to its growth. 
The tobacco crop in the United States for 1840 was 219,163,319 pounds ; for 1850, 199,752,646 pounds ; 
for 1860, 434,209,641 pounds ; and for 1S70, 262,735,341 pounds. Over forty per cent, of this quantity 
■was raised in Kentuckj' (viz.: 105,305,869 pounds). Virginia, Tennessee, Oliio, Maryland, Missouri, 
and North Carolina produced 44 per cent. ; while the remainder was produced chiefly In Con- 
necticut, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, New "York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. 

Sugar-cane (Saccharum ofllcinarnm) is a tropical plant, and its cultivation in the United States 
is almost entirely confined to the Mississippi delta in Louisiana. It is very sensitive to frost, so 
that, if the juice becomes frozen, tne sacharine matter contained therein will not crystallize into 
sugar. In the West Indies the cane is a perennial plant ; in Louisiana the crops are gathered 
from one planting. The quantity of sugar produced on an acre varies greatly, according to 
the quality of soil and care of cultivation. The crop of 1*^60 in the United States j-ielded 230,982 
hogsheads of sugar, of 1,000 pounds each, and 14,963,996 gallons of molasses ; in 1870, 87,043 hogs- 
headsof sugar and0,593,3'23gallonsof molasses. Duringthe latter year sugar and molasses were im- 
ported to the amount of near! j^ $72,000,000, being little less than the total'value of exports during 
the same year, of corn, wheat, and fiour. It is not likely that the limited area fit for cane culture 
■will ever produce niore than a small portion of the amount annually consumed in our country, 
and hence the introduction of the beet-sugar industry would bo of great advantage to our pros, 
perity. That this can be done is shown by actual experiments successfully made in various places. 

Sorghum (Sorg\\\u\\ saccharatuni) is raised in the Mississippi valley, and yielded in 1870, 16,050,059 
gallons of molasses; but only twenty-four hogsheads of sugar. The product of maple trees was 
28,443,045 pounds of sugar and 921,057 gallons of molasses. 

Ootlon is the great staple of the Southern states. Two varieties are cultivated— the upland 
and the sea island cotton. The former grows under favorable conditions as far north as the 
40th parallel, but as a commercial crop it is limited by a line which coincides with the northern 
boundary of Mississippi, sweeps around the base of the Appalachians through Alabama, Georgia, 
and South Carolina, and then turns north to Raleigh and south-eastern Virginia. Bej'ond the 
Mississippi its culture extends up the lower valleys of the Red, Arkansas, and White rivers. 
The sea-island variety is raised on the low fertde islands of the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. 
Its value is five or six times as great as that of the upland. 

In 1792 the question was seriously discussed in England, whether the United States would ever 
produce one hundred bales of cotton. Subsequently the inventive genius of Eli Whitney con- 
quered for this plant a place among the principal staples of the world, second only to the cereal 
grasses. His cotton gin, which separates the fiber from the seed, rendered it possible to prepare 
even the largest crops for the loom. 

In 1800 the whole product amounted to 100,000 bales of 400 pounds each ; in 1824,to ,509,158 bales; 
in 1830, to 976,815 bales; in 1840, to 2,1-28,880 bales; in 1850, to 2,445,793 and in 1860, to 5,196,940. The 
•war brought this branch of industry almost to a standstill ; nor has the recovery been very rapid 
since. In 1860 the crop was almost 2,000,000 bales; in 1867,2,500,000 bales; and in 1870,3,011,990 
bales, which were produced chiefiy in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, 
the Carolinas, and Tennesee. For years to come the production will not, in the opinion of the 
Commissioner of Agriculture, reach the quantity before the war, and the average value ■will 
not exceed 300,000.000 dollars. 

The Potato is hardly of less importance than corn or wheat. It is a native of America, and has 
been found growing wild in Chili and Ecuador, but is now cultivated in nearly all parts of the 
temperate zone. Its climatic range is very wide, as it is successfully grown from Alabama and 
Georgia to the shores of the Great Lakes, and even of Hudson Bay. The average yield is 
below two hundred bushels to the acre, though crops of four hundred bushels are not 
i-are under favorable conditions of soil and season. In 1870 the United States produced 
143,337,473 bushels, chiefly iu New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMEKICA.

Tlie Sweet Potato is a native of the East Indies and tropical America ; and is in the United 
States chiefly cultivated in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas. The crop in 
1870 was'21,709,8'24 bushels. 

Flax and Hemp were cultivated in the United States at an early date ; hut they are now in 
gi-cat measure superseded by cotton. The hemp crop yielded, in 1870, 12,576 tons, eleven-twelfths 
of which were produced in Kentucky and Missouri. Flax yielded in the same year 27,133,003 
pounds, two-thirds of which were produced in New York. 

The Hay crop of the country is of great value ; but from its weight and bulk it does not foi"m 
an important item in the list of exports. In 1850 there were produced 23,838,042 tons ; in 1860 
19,083,896 tons, and in 1870, 27,316,048 tons. The following states produced from one to between 
five and six millions of tons each : New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Mich- 
igan, Wisconsin, Maine, and Vermont. The Southern states i-eceive ivom. the Northern lai'ge 
quantities of hay in the form of compressed bales. 

Butter, Cheese, and Milk are produced chiefly in the Northern states, and of these New York is 
far in advance of all others. The subjoined table shows the increase of dairy produce during 
the three last decades: 

1850. . 1860. 1870. 

Butter 313,34,5,306 459,681,372 514,092,683 pounds. 

Cheese 105,535,893 103,663,927 53.492,153 pounds. 

Milk (sold) 235,500,599 gals. 

The production of M''ool has progressed remarkably both as regards quantity and quality. 
In 1850 the aggregate product was about 52,000 000 pounds ; in 1860,60,000,000, and in 1870, 100,000,000. 
Ohio, with twenty and ahalf millions, surpasses all the other states ; California follows with eleven 
millions; New York, with ten millions ; Michigan, with eight millions. Vermont excels in 
producing wool of the very finest quality . 

The production of Silk is still in its infancy in the United States. The census for 1870 reports 
3,937 pounds of silk cocoons, which were produced almost entirely in California. Here the mul- 
berry (Moi-us alba, and M. moretti) grows well in proper situations; but whether the raising of 
silk-worms can be successfully carried on with the high price of labor is doubtful. 

IX. MANrFACTURES. 

The manufacturing industry of the United States progresses at the most extraordinary rate, 
and keeps pace witli the development of the natural resources of the country. New branches are 
constantly added to those already in successful operation, and nearly all the commodities 
that enter into the consumption of a civilized nation are produced within our borders. 

In 1870 thei-e were 252,148 manufacturing establishments, employing 1,215,711 horse-power of 
steam engines, 1,130,431 horse-power of water wlieels, and 2,053,996 liands, of whom 1,615,598 were 
males above 16 years of age, and 323,770 females above 15 years of age. The capital invested was 
$2,118,208,769 ; the raw material consumed had a value of !3>2,488, 427,242 ; the wages paid amounted 
to $775,584,343 ; and the value of the products was $4,232,325,442. Deducting trom this enormous 
amount the cost of raw materials, the profit realized by the manufacturing industry during the 
year was $1,743,898,200, or $45.25 per liead to the population. The increase of this great branch 
of industry during the last decade has been unprecedented.

28 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

Tlie manufacture of Cotton Goods is one of the oldest l)ranclies of industry in the United States. 
It properly began with the erection of the first water frame for spinning, in Rhode Island, 
in 1790 ; but since then it has increased even more rapidly than the production of the raw mate- 
rial. In IS-W there were employed 3,633,693 spindles ; and the total product had a value of $65,501, • 
C87. Ten years later the number of spindles in operation was 5,235,727, and the value of products, 
$115,681,77*. By 1870 the spindles had increased to 7,132,415, and the value of products to $177,489,739 ; 
of which Massachusetts produced one-thinl, or $59,493,153. The states next in rank, as regards the 
production of cotton goods, were Khode Island, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Connecticut, 
llaine, and New Jersey. The Printed Cotton and Woolleti Goods had a value of $.54,446,044. 

The value of Woolen Goods in 1870 was $155,405,358, against $61,894,986 in 1860, and $43,207,545 in 1850. 
The leading states in this branch ot industry were Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, 
New Hampshire, and Maine. The census report enumerates fifteen ditferent articles manufac- 
tured in tliis country, among which flannels, cloths, cassimeres, blankets, tweeds, ajid twills 
occupied the first j)laces.

X. MIXIXO. 

The United States is probably the richest country in the world, as regards the useful and 
precious minerals. The Appalachian ranges and the Mississippi valley have immense coal 
fields, inexhaustible deposits of iron, copper, lead, etc. ; while the treasure of precious metals 
in the region of the Cordilleras is practically without limit. For many years to come the yield 
of our mines will increase, and mining continue to bo a great legitimate branch of industry. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 29 

Oold and Silver were formerly obtained to a limited extent In Virginia, the Carolinas, and 
Georgia ; and the value of the gold annually mined averaged about $1,000,000. But with the gold 
discoveries in California in 184S the United States took the first rank in the production of this 
metal, and has maintained it ever since. Mining has been followed in the West by several dif- 
ferent methods. Placer mining was the first ; an inexpensive process by which the loose gold 
is washed out of the alluvial soil. Hydraulic mining is placer mining on a gigantic scale ; and 
this is still a profitable pursuit in California. The chief process now is quartz mining, by which 
the gold is obtained from the hard rocks (mostly quartz) of the auriferous veins. This has be- 
come and will remain for many years a legitimate industry, which, if skillfully conducted, 
will yield regular returns, but no sudden fortunes. Hydraulic and quartz mining require large 
investments oT capital, and hence are mostly carried on bj' chartered companies, whoso shares 
are bought and sold in the market. The history of this commerce in shares began with the dis- 
covery of the rich Washoe mines in Nevada, in 1858; particularly the Comstock Lode. The 
first reports of these discoveries were considered in San Francisco as greatly exaggerated ; but 
when some of the ores on their reduction yielded $3,500 per ton, the value of the deposits became 
apparent. With great difficulties, and at an enormous expense, machines, crushing works, and 
food were transported across the Sierra Nevada to Washoe. Several companies were incor- 
porated, and their shares alternately rose and fell. 

From 1860 to 186-2 many mines were in successful operation, and at the same time explorations 
were made in various parts of the Great Basin, and new districts were discovered, as Esmei'- 
alda. Silver Mountain, Humboldt, Owen River, and others. In 1862 the deposits on the Colorado 
and Reese rivers were found ; and as the news of these discoveries reached San Francisco, the 
excitement rose and in the spring of 1863 attained its climax. All classes of persons rushed into 
the wildest speculation. Merchants, physicians, and lawyers hastened to invest their savings in 
mining shares. Even women participated in the general mania. Then followed a general 
reaction. It became known that many mines were worthless. All mining shares fell greatly 
in price, and many lost their value altogether. The shares of the Wide West, Sheba, and 
Darsey (three of the better mines), for example, which during the excitement had risen to 
$580, $500, and $800 respectively, fell to $65, $70, and $90. This was a reduction of from $3,500,000 to 
$393,000 for the aggregate value of the three mines named. The reaction had a favorable in- 
fluence on the mining industry of the West. Capitalists became more cautious, and before 
making investments, had the mines thoroughly examined. Those wild speculations which so 
greatly impaired confidence in this interest are now rare, and fluctuations In stock have 
gradually narrowed down to a limited range. 

The total value of the gold and silver products of the western mines was estimated by J. Ross 
Browne, in his report to the Secretary of the Treasury, as follows :

Quicksilver is found only in the coast ranges of California. The New Almaden Mine produced 
from January to August, 1867, 31,061 fiasks, of 75 Spanish pounds each ; the New Idria Mine yielded 
for the first six months of the same year 5,014 flasks, and the Reddington Mine, 55 miles N. W. of 
Napa, yielded up to January, 1867, 9,009 flasks, selling for a total of $344,594. The export of quick- 
silver increased from 9,000 flasks, in 1860, to 42,000 flasks, in 1865. 

Copper is mined chiefly in Michigan and Wisconsin, near the coast of Lake Superior. The pro- 
duction in 1860 was 14,432 tons, which were worth $3,316,516. The most productive L^ad mines are 



go THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

In Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. Those of Missouri yield nearly half of the entire product of the 
country, wliich was in 18(i0 about 9,000 tons, of $977,-28J in value. Ziric and Nickel are found only 
in rennsylvania, which produced, in ISGO, 11,800 tons of zinc, of $72,000 in value. 

Coal. The total extent of all productive coal fields thus far known in the United States is 125,000 
square miles, and embraces the following areas : 

1. The Appalachian coal field, covering parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Eastern Ken- 
lucky, Kastern Tennessee, and Alabama. The workable area is estimated at 00,000 square miles. 
In the center of Pennsylvania, between Pottsville and Wyoming, are the famous anthracite beds, 
divided into many distinct patches ; and in the western part commences the great bituminous 
coal field, which spreads westward into Ohio and southward to Alabama. 

2. The Illinois and Missouri coal fields, covering a very considerable part of Illinois, Indiana, 
and Kentucky, and west of the Mississippi river, portions of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Ar- 
kansas. Their estimated area is also about 60,000 sq. mis. 

3. The Michigan coal fields, situated about the center of the lower peninsula, and embracing 
an area of about 5,000 sq. mis. 

4. The Texas coal field, covering the northern and north-western counties. 

5. The Wyoming coal field, of unknown area, which supplies, to a large extent, the Union 
Pacific railroad. 

6. A small coal field of about 1,000 sq. mis. in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, between Provi- 
dence and Worcester. 

The amount of anthracite and semi-anthracite coal sent to market in 1870 was, according to 
the Miners' Journal, 15,368,437 tons, an increase over 1869 of 1,716,690 tons. Inaddition to this there 
were consumed in the collieries 3,842,876 tons. 

The total product of bituminous coal for 1870 was 34,179,778 tons. 

Petroleum or coal oil first attracted attention about 15 years ago. In 18.'J7 the first well was sunk 
near Titusville,on Oil Creek, in Pennsylvania ; and at a depth of 70 feet the oil was struck, which 
yielded a steady flow of 400 gallons per day. In 1800 the number of wells in this region was up- 
ward of 2,000, 72 of wliich yielded a daily product of 1,165 barrels, of 33 gallons each. From that 
time petroleum became one of the great staple articles of commerce, immense quantities 
being consumed at home or exported to Europe. 

The total shipments have been for the last 10 years as follows : 

lnl861 1,500,000 gallons. In 1866 67,430,451 gallons. 

In 1862 10,887,701 " In 1867 67,052,OJO " 

In 1863 28,2.50,721 " In 1868 99,281,7.50 " 

In 1864 31,872,927 " In 1869 102,748,604 " 

Inl865 29,805,523 " In 1870 141,208,155 " 

Total export in 10 years 580,037,852 gallons. 

At an average of 25 cts. per gallon, Including crude and refined, for the whole period, this 
would give a total valuation of $145,009,474, or at 20 cts. per gallon, $116,007,579, which has been 
added to the exports of the country from an aiticle unknown to commerce 12 years ago. 

The Valley of Oil Creek, a tributary of the Alleghany river, is the principal oil region of the 
country. It produced in 1809 the enormous number of 398,186 barrels, and in 1870, 471,657 barrels. 

XI. com:(ierce. 

The commerce of the United States has grown at the most extraordinarj' rate during the last 
decade, keeping fully abreast with the increase of population, manufactures, and general wealth 
of the country. 

In the year 1700 the exports of the colonies .imounted to £.395,000, and the imports to jE34<,000. 
In 179^2 these values had risen respectively to $20,7.53,0'.)8 and $31,. 500 ,000, and in 1S07, to $108,343,1.50 and 
$138,500,000. Then followed a period of commercial depression, brought about by the "Decrees of 
Berlin and Milan," and the "Embargo," and up to iho year 18;W the exports and imports averaged 
about $78,000,000. The crisis of 1837 was succeeded by a decline which reached its lowest point in 
1842. Here the figures rise again, slowly at first, more rapidly afterward, with but a brief inter- 
ruption in coneequence of the crisis of 1857. 

In 1800 the exports amounted to $400,122,296; the imports to $362,163,440.

In the year ending .June 30, 1870, the United States imported goods to the value of $541,493,709 
and exported goods to the value of $.590,978,550. Of this amount the value of domestic exports 
was $5&2,51 8,651, and of foreign exports, $28,459,899. The principal ports of the country participated 
in the foreign commerce of the same year, as follows :

New York absorbs 56.8 per cent of the total foreign commerce of the country. Its pre-eminence 
Is owing to the geographical position of the city, her magnificent harbor and her excellent con- 
nections with the interior by rail and canal. The Erie Canal, which connects New York with 
the Great Lakes, is the only water communication which intersects the whole breadth of the Ap- 
palachian System from east to west.

The tonnage of our merchant fleet was 1,042,404 in 1804; 1,232,502 in 1810; 1,298,958 in 1820, and 
1,267,847 in 1830. During the next fifteen years it doubled ; numbering 2,.562,0S4 tons in 1845. In 
1850 it reached 3,.535,454 tons ; in 1855, 5,212,001 ; and attained its greatest development in 1861, when 
it numbered 5,539,813 tons. The southern Insui-rection, the British recognition of the Southern 
states as belligerents, and the depredations of Southern cruisers, bore with crushing weight on the- 
shipping Interests of the United States. Many ships were captured and destroyed, and many 
more passed into foreign hands. Official returns show that our ocean commerce is being carried, 
more and more in foreign bottoms. In 1860 nearly 71 per cent, of our foreign commerce was in, 
American ships ; in 1864 it had decreased to 46 per cent. ; in 1868, to 44 per cent. ; and in 1871, to 38- 
per cent. There is no valid reason why our shipping interest should not rise fEom, its- pres-

ent depression and again take the prominent rank it held before the war. The United States 
produce an abundance of iron and of the best ship timber in the world. American skill and 
Ingenuity have produced the best ship models known. Though the high price of labor and mate- 
rials render competition with the older countries of Europe very difficult, yet with the wisest 
congressional enactments, and the most intelligent adjustment of taxes on ship-building mate- . 
rials, we may hope soon to re-assume our former position as a maritime nation. 

The number of vessels which entered into the ports of the United States during the year end- 
ing June 30, 1871, was 30,102, with an aggregate tonnage of 10,009,1S1. Of these there were 19,406 
foreign vessels, with a tonnage of 6,'266,444 or G-l]4 per cent. 

During the same year 20,8G1 vessels of 9,898,482 tons burden cleared from our ports, of wliiob 
19,288 vessels of 6,151,537 tons were foreign.

It has recently been estimated, that there are on the Great Lakes no less than 5,424 steamers, 
sailing vessels and bai-ges having an aggregate capacity of 717,299 tons, and total value ot $53,- 
343.000. In 1800 there were only 1,640 vessels of all kinds on those lakes, valued at $23,229,000, and 
having a total capacity of 412,127 tons. 

The domestic commerce of the United States far exceeds the foreign commerce in the amount 
and value of the goods bought or sold. But as there is no bureau, official or unofficial, in which 
the movements of goods are registered, it is Impossible to obtain statistics embracing the 
whole field. Our ocean coasts measure 33,633 miles (exclusive of Alaska) ; the lake shores, 3,620 
miles ; and the Mississippi, with its tributaries, has a network of navigable waters extend- 
ing over 35,650 miles, to which the other navigable streams add nearly 50,000 miles. The combined 
length of our canals is over 6,000 miles, and of railroads, 65,000 miles. Thus our country possesses 
an aggregate of great commercial highways, open to steam communication, exceeding 190,000 
miles in length. And all these roads and water ways carry vast quantities of goods and effect 
the interchange of commodities between the different parts of the country. The Southern 
states send their cotton to the factories of the North, and receive in return northern manufac- 
tures ; the surplus of the western grain moves to the Atlantic seaboard, to be consumed in the 
densely populated states of the east, or to be shipped to foreign lands ; the Pennsylvania coal 
fields furnish the households and steam engines of the New England and Middle states with 
ffuel ; and the forests of Maine, Wisconsin, and Michigan supply the great lumber markets of Port- 
land, Albany, Chicago, and other cities. 

XII. RAIIiROADS, TEIiEORAPHS, AIlfD CANAIiS. 

The wonderful progress of the United States is clearly shown by the development of the rail- 
road system. In 1830 the first 23 miles were opened for use ; during the decade ending 1840, 3,513 
miles were added ; in that ending 1850, 5,508; in that ending 1860, 21,614 ; and in that ending 1870, 
22,761 (notwithstanding the civil war, which occupied a part of this decade). At present the mile- 
age probably exceeds 68,000, the construction of which cost in round numbers about $3,250,000,(H)0,- 
■or $.")0,000 per mile. The mileage of all European railroads in 1871 was 66,135; of which Great Bri- 
tain had 15,144 ; Germany, 12,304; France, 10,635; Russia, 6,989; Austria, 6.3-25 ; and Italy, 3,648. Thug 
the time is near at hand when our railroads will exceed in length those of all Europe combined. 

In 1872 there were 346 incorporated railroad comj)anies, the most important of which are

The Telegraph service in the United States is performed

by seven separate associations, -whioh. 
length of Unes of 80,000 miles ; of wires 



36 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

180,000 miles ; 6,300 stations ; and an aggregate nominal capital of $00,000,000. The most important 
of these associations is the " Western Union Telegraph Company," which is a consolidation of 
most of thi^ telegraph interests of the country prior to 1866. This company, on the let of July, 
1872, controlled and operated 6-2,032 miles of line, 137,190 miles of wire, and 5,237 stations. Of this 
aggregate l,2l2 miles of line were in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and 512 miles of line in 
British Columbia ; leaving 60,308 miles of line, and 133,936 miles of -^vire, in the United States. 
There is probably no village of any imijortance in the country which is not within easy reach of 
telegraphic communication ; and yet the construction of new lines is progressing uninterruptedly. 

The Canals of national importance are those which connect the seaboard with the great cen- 
tral region of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi valleys. Foremost amongst these is the Eria 
Canal, which was constructed from 1817 to 1822, under the direction of DeWitt Clinton, Governor 
of New York. It connects Albany at the head of navigation of the Hudson river, with Buffalo 
on the eastern extremity of Lake Erie, following the direction of the Mohawk valley, and thus 
in connection with Hudson Kiver forms an uninterrupted water communication b<>tween 
New York city and the Great Lakes. 'Jlie total length of the canal is about 370 miles, which is, 
however, greatly increased by the numerous branches, extending in various directions. One of 
these connects Roshester with the Alleghany river. New York city owes its pi-e-emiiieuce as the 
commercial metropolis of our country chiefly to this canal. 

The Pennsylvania Canal consists of the central divisioa, which connects Columbia on the Sus. 
qnehanna river, with HoUidayshurg at the foot of the Alleghany Mountains; and the western 
division, which connects Pittsburgh with Johnstown. The distance of 37 miles intervening 
between Johnstown and HoUidaysburg is traversed by a portion of the Pennsylvania railroad. A 
branch canal extends from WrightsviUe, opposite Columbia, along the lower course of Sus- 
quehanna River to Havre de Grace, on Chesapeake Bay ; and other lines follow the upper Susque- 
hanna, terminating at Bellefonte and West Nanticoke. The commerce in coal and other min- 
eral products of Pennsylvania has been greatly facilitated by this extensive canal system. The 
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is designed to connect Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio river, and has 
thus far been completed from Alexandria and Georgetown along the Potomac river to Cumber- 
land. The James River and Kanawha Canal connects Richmond with Buchanan, Va., and follows 
the James River valley. The numerous other canals in the United States ai-e chiefly of local 
importance, and their description will be found in the articles on the states in which they are 
situated. 

XIII. EDUCATION. 

The people of the United States have always recognized the paramount importance of educa- 
tion and mental culture. Twenty years after the first tree was felled and the first block-house 
built in New England, the settlers of Massachusetts, though neither numerous nor wealthy, 
founded Harvard University. This glorious example was soon followed in other colonies, and 
the spirit thus early manifested pervades the entire nation. In no country in the world is 
there a larger amount of money expended for purposes of education by communities or private 
citizens; and certainly the excellence of our school buildings and other appurtenances is 
unequaled. In 1871 benefactions and donations from private citizens to educational establish- 
ments amounted to the large sum of $8,592,000. 

The general system of education originated in New England, where as early as 1628 provision 
was made for the education of every child in the settlements. In 1637 a school was ordered to be 
provided for every neighborhood of 50 families, and another of a higher grade of instruction for 
every 100 families. These schools were maintained by taxes raised in each district. The New- 
England system of public schools has been adopted with but slight modifications by nearly all 
the states of the Union. The Federal Government has no voice in the management or establish- 
ment of schools, and there is consequently in the cabinet no Minister or Secretary of Public 
Instruction, as in nearly all European governments ; but Congress has aided the cause of 
education by reserving for thescliool fund of each state one section of land (of 6W acres) out of 
every township of the public domain. The amount of land thus appropriated or reserved for 
school purposes approaches nearly 12,000.000 acres. The older states have besides large per- 
manent school funds ; but the maintenance of the schools is secured chiefly by direct taxation, 
•which is voted in all the states -with great liberality. 

' The instruction given in the common schools is elementary and comprises reading, -writing, 
arithmetic, geography, and an outline of the history of the United States. There are, however, 
numerous public and private schools of a higher grade in the cities and many country disti-icts, 
such as grammar schools, high schools, and institutions of secondary instruction, where, in addi- 
tion to the elementary branches, Latin, German, French, mathematics, and the rudiments of the 
natural sciences are taught. In nearly all the states there are normal schools for the purpose of 
training competent teachers.

Colleges and Universities in which the classical and scientific or professional branches of learn- 
ing are taught, abound in the United States to an extraordinary extent. The report of the Com- 
missioner of Education for 1871 enumerates 372 collegiate institutions which are authorized to 
confer academic degrees ; 56 agricultural and scientific schools ; 117 theological seminaries ; 40 law 
Schools ; 94 medical, dental and pharmaceutical schools ; 136 female colleges ; and 84 commercial 
and business colleges ; and this enumeration is probably not complete. Many of these institu- 
tions are necessarily limited in means and performance, and yet await a fuller development and 
a wider scope ; but there are also many with ample endowments and generous aims, which have 
greatly raised the standard of literary and scientific excellence. Such institutions as Yale, Har- 
vard, and Princeton universities, the state University of Michigan, Columbia College in New 
York, and some others, are subjects of just pride to every American, and enjoy a well-deserved 
fame throughout the civilized world. A real universitj' requires vast sums of money for its or- 
ganization and management, and in those countries where the true idea of a university is best 
comprehended, the available means and forces are concentrated upon a few large institutions. 
The recognition of this fact is rapidly gaining ground in the United States, and instead of mul- 
tiplying the already too large niimber of small colleges, it is becoming more and more the policy 
to unite and conibine those existing. 

Harvard College is the oldest institution of learning in the country. It was founded in 1636 and 
embraces, 1, an academical department, including regular courses of religion, philosophy, 
rhetoric and oratory, history, modern languages, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, natural history, phj^si- 
ology, chemistry and mineralogy, physics and mathematics ; 2, a divinity school ; 3, a law school; 
4, a medical school ; 5, the Lawrence Scientific Scliool and school of mining and practical geol- 
ogy ; 6, a school of astronomy ; and 7, a dental school. It is situated in Cambridge, near Boston, 
nas 76 professors, and was attended iu 1871 bj' 643 students. The library contains 176,000 volumes 
and is one of the richest in the country. Y'"ale College, in New Haven, Conn., was established 
62 years later than Harvard, and embraces, 1, an academical department ; 2, the Sheffield Scientific 
School ; 3, a theological department ; 4, a law department ; 5, a medical department, and 6 , a 
tichool of the Fine Arts. The number of professors and instructors in 1871 was 68, and of students

810. The college possesses libraries with a total of near 100,000 volumes, valuable mineralogical, 
geological, botanical and zoological collections, an astronomical observatory, and an excellent 
chemical laboratory. 

Columbia College, in New York, was chartered in 1754, and is a wealthy Institution. It em. 

braces, 1, a school of letters and science ; 2. a school of mines, and 3, a law school ; and has 31 
professors and about 300 students. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of the city of New 
York, with 28 professors and 326 students, is connected with Columbia College. 

Tlie subjoined table contains a list of those colleges which, according to the report of the Com- 
missioner of Education, had over ten teachers during the year 1871 :

The report of the Commissioner of Education enumerates 68 agricultural and scientific schools, 
the more important of which are associated with and form parts of older colleges and universi- 
ties. Many of them, however, have been founded on an independent basis. Those scientific 
Institutions which received government aid by land grants number twenty -four, with 180 pro- 
• fessorS and over 2,000 students. 

The only schools maintained by the Federal Government are the United States Military Acad- 
emy and the United States Naval Academy. The former is situated at West Point, on the Hud- 
son river, in the midst of scenery unsurpassed for picturesque beauty. It was established in 
1803, and nearly all the officers of the regular army have there received their education and train- 
ing. The superintendent is usually an army officer of high rank. His military staff consists of 
an adjutant, quartermaster, treasurer, surgeon, and two assistant surgeons. The academic staff 
consists of the commandant of the cadets, who is also instructor of tactics, eight professors, and 
thirty-one assistant professors and instructors. The number of pupils is 227. The discipline is 
strict, and the instruction very thorough, including the following branches : Military tactics, 
engineering, natural and experimental philosophy, mathematics, drawing, chemistry, miner- 
alogy and geology, ethics and law, the French and Spanish languages, ordnance and gunnery. 
Candidates for admission to the Academy must be over 17 and under 22 years of age, and pass an 
examination in reading, writing, the elements of arithmetic, English grammar, geography, and 
the history of the United States. 

The Naval Academy, situated at Annapolis, Md., is under the charge of a superintendent, assist- 
ed by eight naval officers. The academic staff includes 67 professors and assistant professors who 
teach seamanship, mathematics, steam-engineering, astronomy and navigation, natural phil- 
osophy, ethics and English studies, the French and Spanish languages, and drawing. The num- 
ber of pupils is 253. Candidates for admission must be between 14 and 18 years of age, and must 
pass an examination similar to that which is required for admission into the military academy. 

Notwithstanding the great efforts of communities, associations, and individuals, to promote the 
cause of education in the United States, the number of adults who cannot read and write is still 
very large. According to the census for 1870 there are in the U. S. 5,658,144 illiterates over 10 years 
of age who cannot read or write ; that is, between 14 and 15 per cent, of the entire population. 
This proportion places our country, in regard to the dissemination of elementary education, far 
In advance of England, France, Italy ; but it is sufficiently unfavorable to arrest the attention 
of every intelligent American citizen. The largest contingents to this army of illiterates are 
furnished by the colored people of the Southern states, formerly held in bondage, and those im- 
migrants who come from countries where popular education is notoriously neglected. Yet the 
Jemaiinder of native whites who cannot read and write is much larger than the number o£ 



40 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

elementary schools in the country would seem to wari"ant. In some places the school accommo- 
dations are as yet inadequate, notably in the Southern states and the more sparsely inhabited 
districts of the new territories. In others, however, educational facilities are abundant, but 
regular school attendance is not sufficiently enforced by those having the care of children. To 
remedy the evils consequent upon such neglect, legislation to compel attendance is recom- 
mended, and has been carried out in some localities. 

The distribution of illiterates is, however, very unequal in the various sections of the country. 
In northern New England, central New York, northern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, 
eouthern Michigan, and tlie larger portion of Iowa, the percentage of illiterates to the whole popu- 
lation is less than 5 per cent. ; and varies in the remainder of the states north of the Missouri 
and Ohio rivers, from 5 to 20. The broad belt of conntr j' extending from Chesapeake Bay through 
the Carolina.s, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and Texas, 
has a percentage of illiterates varying from 20 to GO ; but includes extensive tracts, where it rises 
to over GO per cent. 

Libraries.— The Americans are a nation of readers. In the northern and western states books 
are found in almost everj^ household, and works of a religious or popular character are issued in 
immense editions and sold all over the country. The sales of some works have reached the 
enormous number of 200,000 copies and over. The census for 1870 gives the number of libraries in 
tlie United States as 1G4,815, containing 45,528,938 volumes. Of these libraries 108,800, with 26,072, 
420 volumes, are private; and 56,01.5, with 19,4.59,518 volumes, are public. Large as these numbers 
may appear, they are far below the truth. The Commissioner of the Census remarks, that in 
respect to certain states, the figures returned by the marshals were ludicrouslj^ disproportionate. 
Thus, for example, for the state of Connecticut, no retui-ns of private libraries were made at all, 
the deputy marshal reporting that no extra information could be obtained. The Congressional 
Librai-y in Washington, probably the largest collection of books in the country, contained, in 
1870, 190,000 volumes. The number of volumes in the libraries, both public and private, was, 
in Pennsylvania, 6,477,840 ; in New York, 6,.'?10,302 ; in Ohio, 3,6S7,3G3 ; in Illinois, 3,.323,914 ; in Mas- 
sachusetts, 3,017,813; in Michigan, 2,174,744 ; in Kentucky, 1,909,230 ; in Maryland, 1,713,483 ; in 
Indiana, 1,125,553; in Virginia, 1,107.313 ; and in Missouri, 1,065,633. The libraries of the following 
states contained from 500,000 to 1,000,000 volumes : Alabama, District of Columbia, Iowa, Louisi- 
ana, Maine, New Hampshire, Now Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, 
and Wisconsin. Wyoming and Arizona contain the least number of books, barely exceeding 
2,000 in all libraries. 

The Press.— The aggregate of the newspapers and periodicals published in the United States,- in 
1870, was 5,871, issuing the enormous number of 1,508,548,250 copies per annum, and having a total 
circulation of 20,842,475. The average of copies issued during the year was 40 single numbers for 
every head of the population, and one newspaper and periodical was published for every 6,800 in- 
habitants. Of the aggregate number (5,871) there were 574 dailies, 107 tri-weeklies, 115 semi-week- 
lies, 4295 weeklies, 96 semi-monthlies, 622 monthlies, 13 bi-monthlies, and 49 quarterlies. Of the 
various interests represented, politics engrossed by far the largest number, viz. : 4J533. The 
remainder comprised 93 agricultural journals; 81devote<ito benevolent or secret societies ; 143 
comuKu-cial and financial journals; .503 illustrated, literary, and miscellaneous ; 407 religious ; 6 
Eporting ; 207 technical and professional ; while 79 contained only advertisements. 

XIV. GOVERNMENT. 

The United States is a federation of republican commonwealths, resting upon the broad basis 
of democratic institutions. The government of the United States was erected by the joint will 
of the people of the original thirteen colonies. In May, 1775, a congress assembled in Philadelphia, 
and on the 4th of July of the following year issued the memorable Declaration of Indepemlenco, 
followed by a war with Great Britain, at the end of which the colonies were absolved from all 
allegiance to the British crow^ and became free and independent states. After protracted delib- 
erations. Congress on the 15th of November, 1777, agreed to the articles of confederation, but it was 
not until the Ist of March 1781, that these articles received the unaninious approval of all the 
Btates. The fundamental defect in this confederation was, that the decrees of the federal coun- 
cil were held subject to the states in their sovereign capacity. The council framed laws for poli- 
tical communities and not for private individuals, and was clothed with no power to enforce its 
laws upon these political communities or states. The only coercion for disobedience was nnli- 
tary force, instead of the decree and the arm of the civil magistrate. In May, 1787, delegates of all 
the states, except Khode Island, assembled in general convention at Philadelphia for the pur- 
pose of revising and amending the articles of confederation ; and after several months of ))('aee- 
ful deliberation agreed upon the plan of government which now forms the Constitution of the 
United States. It was submitted In each state to a convention of delegates chosen for tho pur- 
pose, bnt over a year elapsed before it received the ratification of a sufllcient number of slates to 
give it a political existence, and nearly three years before it received the unanimous ratificatioa 
of all the Btates and thus became the supreme law of the laud. 



• THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 41 

The Constitution as originally framed consists of seven articles. It determines the legal rela- 
tions Ijetween the federal government, on th© one hand, and the state governments, on the other, 
and makes but little reference to the rights or duties of individual citizens. With the progress 
of time fifteen supplementary articles or " amendments" have been added, and nearly all of these 
define personal rights of individuals. 

The govermneut, according to the Constitution, is composed of three distinct branches : the 
legislative, the judicial, and the executive. 

The IiCgislativc power is vested in Congress. The Constitution defines it to be "the power 
to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution all powers vested in the gov- 
ernment or in any department or officer thereof." 

The principal powers of Congress are : to lay and collect taxes and duties uniformly throughout 
the United States ; to borrow money on the credit of the United States ; to regulate commerce 
with foreign nations and between the several states ; to establish a uniform rule of naturaliza- 
tion and uniform laws of bankruptcy ; to coin money and fix the standard of weights and meas- 
ures ; to establish post-offices and post-roads ; to declare war and grant letters of marque ; to 
raise and maintain armies and a navy, and to make rules for their government ; to provide for 
organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and to govern such as may be employed in the 
service of the United Slates ; to exercise exclusive legislation over the district in which is 
placed the seat of government of the United States, and over all places purchased for the 
erection of forts, arsenals and dock-yards. 

The Constitution prescribes the following restrictions upon the power of Congress : The privi- 
lege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when, in cases of rebellion or 
invasion, the public safety may require it ; no bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be 
passed ; no capitation or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the o^cial census 
enumeration ; no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the 
ports of one state over those of another, nor shall vessels bound to or from one state paj"^ duties 
in another ; no money shall be drawn from the treasury except in consequence of appropria- 
tions made by law ; nor shall any law be enacted respecting an establishment of religion, or pro- 
hibiting the exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of 
the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances ; nor 
shall the validity of the public debt of the United States, aiithorized by law, including debts 
Incurred for payment of pensions and bounties, be questioned ; and neither the United States 
nor any state shall pay any debt incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United 
States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave. 

Congress consists of two branches : the Senate and the House of Representatives. 

The Senate is composed of two Senators from each state, chosen by the legislature thereof, for 
a term of six years. No person can be elected Senator who is under thirty years of age, and 
■who has not been a citizen of the United States for nine years, and who is not, when elected, a 
citizen of the state for which he is chosen. The Senate has sole power to try impeachments, and 
■when sitting for that purpose is under oath like courts of justice. If the President be tried, 
the Chief Justice of the United States is to preside. The Senate has power to ratify or reject 
treaties with foreign powers, and it requires the concurrence of two-thirds of the senators pre- 
sent to authorize the President to make a treaty. The advice and consent of the Senate is 
necessary to confirm appointments made by the Pi-esident. The Senate cannot originate 
any bill for raising revenue, but may propose amendments or concur in such bill. The Vice- 
president of the United States is ex officio president of the Senate. In hie absence the Senate 
elects a president pro tempore. It further elects a secretary to record its isroceedings, a sergeant- 
at-arms to attend and to arrest offenders, and a door-keeper to guard the entrance to the Senate 
Chamber. 

The House of Representatives is composed of members chosen every second year by the people 
of the several states.* A representative must have attained the age of 25 years, and must be a 
citizen and an inhabitant of the state for which he is chosen. The House chooses its own speaker, 
clerk, sergeant-at-arms, door-keeper, and other oflicers. It has exclusive power to originate bills 
for raising revenue. 

In ordinary legislative matters the powers and duties of both houses of Congress are legislative 
and advisory, but not judicial and executive. 

*Tlie representatives are apportioned among the several states according to their respective number of inhabi- 
tants. After each decennial census, Congress re-adjusts the proportion of population entitled to a represen- 
tative, and fixes anew the whole number of representatives, leaving the manner and time of state apportion- 
ment to the states themselves. Under the apportionment fixed subsequent to the census of 1870 the states became 
entitled to the following number of representatives re.spectively : Ala. 8; Ark. 4; Cal. 4; Conn. 4; Del.l; Fla. 
2; Ga. 9; 111.19; Ind. 1.3 ; Iowa, 9: Kan. 3; Ky. 10; La. 6: Me. 5; Md. 6; Mass. 11; Mich. 9-, Min. 3; Miss. 6; Mo.

42 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

The Judicial Power of the United States is vested in one Supreme Court, and in such 
inferior courts as Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judicial power t xtendg 
over all cases in law ami equity arising under the Constitution, the laws of the United States, and 
treaties made under their authority ; to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and 
consuls; to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to controversies to which the 
United States may be a party; to controversies between two or more states, between citizens 
of different states, between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different 
States, and between a state and a citizen thereof, or of a foreign state. 

In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a 
state may be a party, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction. In all other cases before men- 
tioned, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such excep- 
tions as Congress may make. 

The Supreme Court is the highest judicial tribunal in the United States. It is composed of a 
chief justice and eight associate Justices. The former presides in the court, regulates the order 
of business, controls the docket, and assigns to'his associates the causes in which tliey are to pre- 
pare opinions. The chief justice and the associates hold their places for life, or during good 
behavior. 

The United States is divided into nine judicial circuits. In each of Avhich a circuit court Is held 
twice every year, for each state within the circuit, by a justice of the Supreme Court assigned 
to the circuit, and by the district judge of the state or district in which the court sits. 

The circuit courts have both original and appellate jurisdiction. They have concurrent jurisdic- 
tion with the state courts, where the matter in dispute exceeds tlie sum of $500, and the United 
States are plaintiffs or where an alien is a party, or where the controversy is between citi- 
zens of different states. They have exclusive jui-isdiction in all cases of crimes against the laws of 
the United States, except where the law especially confers the power upon other coui-ts. The 
district courts have original jurisdiction in all admiralty cases, and in most of the cases arising 
In custom-houses, and those growing out of bankruptcies. 

The Court of Claims was established in 1850. Before this time, persons who had claims against 
the government, which the departments refused to pay, had no remedy except by petition to 
Congress. This remedy, however, was in many cases unavailing or altogether delusive. Since 
the establishment of this court, a citizen may enforce his claims against the government as 
against another citizen, by legal process. The court consists ot five judges, who are appointed 
by tho President, and hold their places during good behavior. In all matters and suits the gov- 
ernment is represented by the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and two Assistant Attor- 
neys-General. The court has jurisdiction of claims founded upon a law of Congress, the regula- 
tion of an executive department, or of contracts express or implied, and of counter claims by the 
government. 

The Executive Power is vested in the President, who is chosen by electors, each state being 
entitled to as many as it has senators and representatives in Congress. His term of olHce is 
four years. The Vice-president, who is ex officio president of the Senate, is chosen at the same 
time itnd in the same manner as the President. The Constitution requires that both these 
oCacers shall be native-born citizens of the United States, and that they shall have attained 
the age of 35 years, and have been 14 years I'csidents of the United States. 

The President is commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and of the militia of the several 
states when called into the service of tho United States. He has power to grant reprieves and 
pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. He has also the 
power, by and with tho advice of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the sena- 
tors present concur. The President nominates, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 
appoints the officers of government; as ambassadors or public ministers and consuls, judges 
of the Supremo Court, and all executive officers of the government, except those whose appoint- 
ment is otherwise provided for by the Constitution. The President receives foreign ministers 
ai.d grants the exequatur to foreign consuls. He communicates to Congress by message at the 
opening of every session the condition of the country, and recommends such measures as he 
deems expedient. 

Every order, vote, or bill which requires tho action of both Houses (except the resolution to 
adjourn) must be presented to the President for his signature and approval. It becomes a law 
if he appends his signature. The President has the power to veto any bill or resolution passed 
by botli Houses. He does this by returning it to the House where it originated, with a written 
message, stating his objections or reasons why he believes it ought not to become a law. If 
however. Congress then passes the bill by a majority of two-thirds of the members, it becomes 
a law notwithstanding tho President's veto. The Constitution directs that the President shall 
take care that the laws be faithfully executed. In the discharge of his duties he is assisted by 
tho highest executive officers, each of whom presides over one of the departments of gov 
crnment. These are collectively called the Cabinet, consisting of : 1, the Secretary of State ; 2, 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 4^ 

the Secretary of the Treasury ; 3, the Secretary of War ; 4, the Secretary of the Navy ; 5, the Sec- 
retary of the Interior ; 6 , the Postmaster-G«neral, and 7, the Attorney-Genei-al. They are the 
President's constitutional advisers, and twice a week attend a meeting at his office for consulta- 
tion upon the executive duties of the Federal Government, or upon questions of policy. 

The Department of State was created by a law passed in July, 1789, and is presided over by 
the Secretary of Stale, who is, next to the President, the highest executive officer of the gov- 
ernment. Tliis department corresponds to the foreign office in European states, and the office 
of Secretary of State, to that of their ministers for foreign affairs. The duties of the Secretary 
are the following: He holds intercourse with the ambassadors and ministers of foreign govern- 
ments accredited to ours, and conducts correspondence with them ; he prepares and issues 
instructions to our ministers and consuls abroad, and prescribes regulations for keeping their 
books and records, and receives their reports. He also collects and communicates to Congress 
all commercial information obtained through our ministers and consuls abroad, or from other 
sources. He receives the enrolled acts passed by Congress, that have become laws, and promul- 
gates them. He causes the seal of the United States to be affixed to all civil commissions after 
they have been signed liy the President. He has two Assistant Secretaries who perform such 
duties as may he prescribed by him or provided for by law. The other officers of the department 
are the Disbursing Agent, who has charge of its funds and accounts ; the Translator, who fur- 
nishes translations of documents as required by the department ; the Clerk of Appointments 
and Commissions, who makes out and records commissions, nominations to the Senate, exequa- 
turs^ etc., and has charge of the department library; the Clerk of Rolls and Archives, who has 
charge of the enrolled acts of Congress as they are received from the President, prepares copies 
thereof, superintends their publication and that of treaties, and has charge of all Indian 
treaties ; and the Clerk of Authentications, who has charge of the seals of the United States and 
of the department, certifies to and authenticates documents, receives and accounts for fees, and 
records all letters other than the diplomatic and consulai*. 

The diplomatic agents representing our government abroad receive their instructions from 
and report to the Secretary of State. The highest in rank are the Envoys Extraordinary and 
Ministers Plenipotentiary to England, Germany, France, Russia, Spain, Austria, Italy, China, 
Mexico, Brazil, Chili, and Peru. Ministers Resident represent the United States in Denmark, 
Sweden and Norway, Netherland, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland, Hawaiian Islands. Hayti, 
Tui'key, Greece, Japan, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, New Granada, 
Venezuela, Ecuador, the Argentine Republic, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Liberia. Secreta- 
ries of Legation are authorized in each country where there is a Minister Plenipotentiary or a 
Minister Resident. Assistant secretaries are authorized for London and Paris. 

Consuls are public agents, residing in foreign countries, u.sually at important commercial 
cities and seaports, to watch over the commercial interests of our citizens. The United States 
maintains about 75 consuls in the various parts of the world. 

The Treasury Department is presided over by the Secretary, who is charged with supervi- 
sion of the fiscal transactions and finances of the government, and execution of laws concern- 
ing commerce and navigation, the survey of the coast, the liglit-house establishment, the marine 
hospitals of the United States, and the construction of public buildings for custom-houses and 
other purposes. The business of the department is distributed among several bureaus, each ot 
which has its specific duties and is under the direction of a responsible chief. 

The First Controller prescribes the mode of keeping and rendering accounts for the civil and 
diplomatic service, and the public lands. 

The Second Controller keeps and renders accounts for the army and navy departments and tho 
Indian bureau. 

There are six auditors in the department, who examine and adjust the accounts of the United 
States with individuals. 

The Mrst Auditor adjusts the accounts of the customs, the revenue, and the appropriations 
and expenditures of the civil list, and reports the balances to the First Controller and th6 Com- 
missioner of Customs. 

The Second Auditor adjusts all accounts relating to the pay, clothing, and recruiting of the 
army, and those relating to the Indian Department, and reports the balances to the Second 
Controller. 

The Third Auditor adjusts all accounts for subsistence of the army, for fortifications, the military 
academy, military roads, tho quarter-master's department, pensions, claims arising from 
military services prior to 1861, for horses and other property lost in the military service, and 
reports the balances to the Second Controller. 

The Fourth Auditor adjusts all accounts for the service of the Navy Department, and reports 
the balances to the Second Controller. 

The Fifth ulwdi^or adjusts all accounts for the diplomatic and consular services under the direc-

The Sixth Auditor adjusts all accounts aiising from the service of the Post-offlce Department. 
His decisions are final, unless an appeal is taken within 12 months to the First Controller. He 
also directs writs and legal proceedings to enforce the prompt payment of moneys due to the 
department. He has charge of all lands and property assigned to the United States in payment 
of debts to the Post office Department. 

The Commissioner of Customs prescribes the mode of keeping and rendering the accounts of 
customs, revenue, and disbursement, and for the building and repairing of custom-houses. 

The Treasurer receives and keeps the moneys of the United States in his office, and disburses 
the same upon warraiits drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury, countersigned by the Fii-st 
Controller, and upon warrants drawn by the Postmaster-General, countersigned by the Sixth 
Auditor. 

The Register keeps the accounts of public receipts and expenditures : receives the returns of 
commerce and navigation : and receives from the Fii-st Coutroller and Commissioner of Cus- 
toms all accounts and vouchers adjusted bj' them. 

The Solicitor superintends all civil writs commenced by the United States (except those arising 
in the Post Office Department). He receives retui-ns from each term of the United States courts, 
showing the progress of such suits, has charge of all land and propertj' assigned to the United 
States in payment of debts (except tliose assigned for debts due the Post-office Department), and 
has power to sell and dispose of the same for the benefit of the United States. 

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has charge of all matters connected with the tax laws 
and the collection of the direct taxes. The number of officers of the Treasury Department 
emploj'cd in Washington exceeds three thousand. 

The Light-House Hoard is under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, who is ex-officio 
president thereof. Tliis Board directs the building and repairing of light-houses, light- vessels, 
buoys, and beacons. The coast is divided into thirteen light-house districts. 

The United States Coast Survey is under the administration of the Treasury Department. It 
was established in 183'2, for the purpose of surveying the coasts and harbors, and preparing 
accurate maps and charts thereof. The scientific work and operations are carried on by a 
superintendent and a corps of assistants, consisting of civilians and officers of the army and 
navy. 

Collectors.— The seaboard frontiers of the United States are divided into 62 collection districts, 
for each of which there is a collector of customs appointed by the President, with the consent of 
the Senate. The collectors issue clearances, or permits to leave, to all vessels sailing from the 
United States ; certify to the correctness of manifests or bills of lading; keep account of vessels 
built within their districts, and make returns to the Register of the Treasury of imports and 
exports. Vessels arriving from foreign ports hand to the collector manifests of their cargoes, on 
■which the duties are computed, and before the goods can be landed these duties must be paid. 
The collectors are aided in the performance of their various duties by a number of clerks, 
appraisers, weighers, gangers, and inspectors. Tlieimportanceof these officers will be understood 
when it is known that during the fiscal year ending .Tune 30, l!S7'2, there were collected $216,370,286 • 
in imi)ort duties, which passed tlu-ough the hands of the collectors. 

For the larger ports, so-called naval officers are appointed, who countersign all permits, clear- 
ances, certificates, and other documents to be granted by the collectors; they also examine the 
collectors, accounts of receipts and expenditures, and certify to them. The surveyoi-s are sta- 
tioned at the larger ports only, and superintend the inspectors, weighers, and gangers, and report 
io the collectors those who fail in the performance of their duties. 

The United States is divided into a large number of internal revenue districts, in each of 
which there is a collector, making assessments and collecting the direct taxes. 

The ARiU and Coinage.— The. principal mint is at Philadelphia, and branches are at San Fran- 
Cisco and Denver City. In the city of New York there is an assay-office, where gold and silver 
bullion, gold dust, and foreign coins are refined and assayed. The coining of all moneys is per- 
formed undei- regulations prepared by the Secretary of the Treasury. Fifteen pounds of silver 
are declared to be equal to one pound of gold. In coining, one-tenth of alloy is added to the 
gDld and silver bullion (silver and copper in equal proportions to the former, copper alone to 
the latter). 

The coins of the United States are as follows :

The Superintendent of the Coast Survey is ex officio Superintendent of Weights and Measures. 
Avoirdupois weigiit is used in weighing all articles except gold, silver, arid precious stones. The 
pound of this weight is divided into 16 ounces, and one ounce into 16 drachms. One hundred 
pounds constitute a hundred-weight, and 20 hundred-weight, or 2,00!) pounds, a ton. Troy- 
weight is used in weighhig gold, silver, and precious stones. One pound troy weight is divided 
into 12 ounces ; one ounce into 20 pennyweights, and one pennyweight into 24 grains. 

The unit of liquid measure is the gallon One gallon consists of 4 quarts ; one quart, of 2 pints ; 
and one pint, of 4 gills. The unit ot dry measure is the bushel, which is 18^ inches in diameter 
by 8 inches deep, and contains 2,150 2-5 cubic inches. One bushel di-y measure contains 4 pecks ; 
one peck, 8 quarts ; one quart, 2 pints. 

A brass scale of 82 inches length, made by Troughton, of London, and sent to the Coast Sur- 
vey office in Washington, where it is still preserved, was made the United States standard for 
long measiire. This scale, although intended to be identical with the English Imperial standard, 
was found, upon careful comparison with eleven carefully made meter-etalons, to ditfer slightly 
from the English scale. One meter was found to be equal to 39.36850535 United States inches, 
or 3.28070878 American feet ; while it is, according to comparisons made in England, equal to 
3.2808992 English Imperial feet. 

This difference is so slight that it becomes perceptible only in measurements of considerable 
length ; yet it is large enough to justify the use of the term American measure, as distinct from 
English measure. 
The following table gives the values adopted in the United States Coast Survey :

reduction of the national debt. The expenditures have considerably decreased during the last three 
years. They amounted to 310 millions in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, and to 292 millions 
in the following year. The reduction of import duties has produced a considerable increase in 
the revenue derived from this source, which amounted to 194 millions, 20G millions, and 216 mil- 
lions respectively for the last three fiscal years. The revenues from internal taxation have 
decreased for the same years from 1S5 millions to 143 millions and to 131 millions. 

The National Debt. — When, after the war for independence, the charge of the national finances 
"was confided to Alexander Hamilton, the consolidated debt of the United States amounted to 
$125,000,000 ; a very heavy burden, considering the sparse population and small wealth of the couii- 
try. But the interest on this large amount was regularly paid, and in 1812 the principal was 
reduced to $15,000,000, when the war with Great Britain raised it to an aggregate of $75,000,000. The 
protective tariff of ISlC, 1824, and 1828 increased the revenues of the government, so that in 1836 
every dollar of this debt was paid, and a surplus of $36,000,000 was accumulated in the treasury. 
At tlie breaking out of the Mexican war the national debt was $16,750,000 ; but from that time it 
rose until it reached, in 1853, $67,341,000. The following year it Avas reduced to $47,000,000, and in 1857 
it was but $29,000,000. During Mr. Buchanan's administration the income fell off, and the debt 
again increased to $64,769,703 on the 1st of July 1860. The enormous expenditures for the prose- 
cution of the civil war raised the national debt to unprecedented figures. It was : 

On July 1 St 1861 $ 90,867,829 On July 1st 1867 $2,692,199,215

This amount is greater by 1,099,270 acres than was disposed of during the preceding year. The 
cash receipts under the various heads amounted to $3,218,100. There were surveyed during the 
same period 22,016,608 acres, which, added to the quantity surveyed before this year, amounted to 
683,364,780 acres ; leaving unsurveyed an area of 1,251,633,620 acres.

The Commissioner of the Indian Office superintends and directs all the public business relating 
to the Indians. He represents the government in the treaties made with them, causes to be 
distributed the annuities and presents, and carries out the policy adopted toward them by the 
government. He is aided by fourteen superintendents stationed in diffei'ent places at the West, 
A number of agents are appointed by the President, who reside among the Indians and look 
after their interests and rights. 

The Patent Office is under the direction of a commissioner, who Is charged with the perform- 
ance of "all acts touehing the granting and issuing of letters patent for new inventions, discov- 
eries, and improvements." He is assisted by a corps of examiners and assistant examiners, who 
ascertain whether an invention, for which a patent is applied for, is new and useful or not. and 
report to him their opinion in writing. The Commissioner issues the Patent Office Official 
Gazette", a monthly publication, which contains his decisions, the decisions of the Supreme Court, 
and the Circuit Courts, in patent cases, all changes in the rules of practice in the office, notices 
of all applications for extension of patents, a brief of the specifications, and the full claim of all 
patent? issued, together with illustrations. The number of applications for patents, re-issues, 
and designs for the year ending June 30, 1872, was 19,587; the number of applications for exten- 
sion of patents was 284 ; the number of applications for the registering of trade-marks was 589. 
During the same year there were granted 13,626 patents ; 233 extensions ; 556 certificates of regis- 
try for trade-marks ; and there were filed 3,100 caveats. The fees were $700,954.86, and the expen- 
ditures $323,550.90. 

The Department of Agricxdtiire is under the direction of a commissioner, whose general duties 
are to obtain and difi'use among the people of the United States useful information on subjects 
connected with agriculture, and to procure, propagate, and distribute new and valuable seeds 
and plants. He employs botanists, entomologists, and other persons to assist him in the per- 
formance of his various duties. 

The Bureau of Education consists of a commissioner and three clerks. His duties are to col- 
lect such statistics and facts as shall show the condition and pi"ogi"ess of education in the states 
and territories, and to diffuse such information respecting the organization and management 
of schools and respecting school systems and methods of teaching as shall aid the people of 
the United States in the establishment and maintenance of efficient school systems, and other-

The Department of War was created in 1789, Aug. 7, in order to enable the President to 
carry out the provisions of the Constitution relating to mDitary affairs, and is in charge of the 
Secretary of War, who issues commissions, directs the movement of troops, superintends their 
payment, stores, clothing, arms, equipments, and ordnance, and conducts the works of military 
engineering. The bureaus among which these multifarious duties are distributed are under 
the direction of army officers. 

The office of the Commanding General is ordinarily called the Headquarters of the Army, and is 
situated in Washington. The General has charge of the discipline of the army, the distribution 
of troops, and the superintendence of recruiting. 

In the Office of the Adjutant- General are kept all the records relating to the personnel of the 
army, the muster rolls of the troops, and the correspondence with the administrative depart- 
ments. All orders emanating from either the Secretary of War or the Commanding Gen- 
eral are transmitted and published through this office, and the annual returns of the ai-my are 
received by it. 

The Quartermaster- GeneraVs Office provides quarters and transportation for the troops, storage 
and transportation for all army supplies, army clothing, cavalry and artillery horses, forage, etc. 
It has charge of the bai-racks and the national cemeteries. 

The Commissary- GeneraVs Office provides subsistence stores, constituting the rations for the 
troops and garrison. 

The Paymaster- GeneraVs Office has charge of the disbursement of the pay to officers, men, and 
employees in the army. It receives and examines the accounts of the paymasters connected 
•with the various commands. 

The Ordnance Bureau has charge of the ordnance stores and the numerous armories and arse- 
nals situated in different parts of the country. 

The Engineer's Office has charge of the military defenses of the country, the forts along the sea- 
board, the improvements of rivers and harbors, and the care of the Military Academy at West 
Point. This office is under the direction of the Chief of Engineers, who commands the engineer 
corps of the army. 

The Surgeon- GeneraVs Office has control of all sanitary affairs of the army, the management of 
the sick and wounded, and the military hospitals. The surgeons of the army receive their orders 
and assignments from, and report to, the Surgeon-General.

Tlic Bureau of Military Justice was established in 1864, and consists of one judge advocate-gen- 
eral, liolding 'he rank and pay of a brigadier-general, and an assistant judge advocate, with 
the rank and pay of a colonel of cavalry. The bureau receives, revises, and records the proceed- 
ings of courts-martial and courts of inquiry. 

The Signal Office, under the direction of the commander of the signal corps, receives from the 
numerous sigual stations established in various localities, reports on the meteoric state of the 
atmosphere, as temperature, winds, moisture, and pressure of the atmosphere. From these 
reports, tri-daily forecasts, or " probabilities," are deduced and telegraphed throughout the 
country. Over seventy-eight per cent, of the probabilities issued during the past year have 
been verified, and no great storm has occurred within the United States, or along the seaboard 
■withoui due premonition being given to the points thereby threatened. The labors of this office 
have been highly successful, and very frequently have been instrumental in the preservation 
of life and property. 

Army.—hy act of Congress the army of the United States is limited to 30,000 enlisted men- The 
term of service is three years. The army, as now organized, is composed of 16 regimei\ts of cav- 
alry, each of 12 companies ; 25 regiments of infantry, each of 10 companies ; 5 regiments of artil- 
lery, ;ind one engineer battalion, besides the cadets at the Military Academy at West Point. la

The 3f avy Department is in charge of a secretary, whose duties are : to procure naval stores 
and materials, to direct^the construction, arrangement, and equipment of vessels of war, and to 
execute all orders of the President relating to the naval establishment. The Secretary issues 
the orders to commanders of squadrons or vessels, and to the officers of the navy and marina 
corps. Under his authority are performed the duties of the diflferent bureaus of the department, 
and their orders are considered as emanating ft-om him. He is aided by an Assistant Secretai'y, 
whose duties are not specified by statute, but are assigned by the Secretary. 

The Bureau of Navy Yards and Docks has charge of everything connected with the various 
navy yards, docks, wharves, and naval buildings, and also of the Naval Asylum. 

The Bureau of Navigation has charge of the Astronomical Observatory, situated near Wash- 
ington, and also of the Hydrographic Office. It furnishes vessels of war with charts, maps, 
books, and chronometers, and has the general superintendence of the Naval Academy and the 
publication of the Nautical Almanac. 

The Bureau of Ordnance has charge of all ordnance and ordnance stores, the manufacture or 
purchase of cannon, guns, powder and shot, and every thmg connected with the armament of 
ships. 

The Bureau of Ejuipment and Recruiting is charged with providing vessels of war with sails, 
anchors, and other articles of equipment, and also with the enlistment of sailors and the recruit- 
ing service. 

The Bureau of Construction and Repair has charge of the building and repairs of all vessels of 
war, and the purchase of the necessary materials. 

The Bureau of Steam Engineering is under the direction of the chief engineer, who super- 
Intends the construction of the marine steam-engines and decides upon plans of construction. 

The Bureau of Provisions and Clothing contracts for and purchases all provisions and clothing 
used in the naval service. 

The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery directs the purchase and distribution of medical stores, 
and has charge of the treatment of the sick and wounded and the marine hospitals. 

In November, 1872, the navy numbered 178 vessels carrying 1,378 guns ; which included 68 
Steamers, with 920 guns ; 31 sailing vessels, with 322 guns ; 51 iron-clads, with 127 guns ; and 28 
tugs. There were forty-five vessels in cammission for sea service, carrying 462 guns, which 
were distributed at dilTerent cruising stations, as follows : 

North Atlantic Station.— 'Eloven vessels, 77 guns. 

South Atlantic Station.— Three vessels, 33 guns. 

Europtan Slalion.—Six vessels, 110 guns. 

Asiatic Station.— E\even vessels, 116 guns. 

North Pacific Station.— Five vessels, 65 guns. 

South Pacific Station.— Five vessels, 51 guns. 

Special Service.— One vessel with 1) guns, and two store ships. 

The Post-ofllce Department is under the direction of the Postmaster-General, who Is 
aid(!d by three assistant postmasters. 

Th(! Fir.'it Assi-itant Postmaster. General is at the head of the Appointment Office. He attends to 
the establishment or discontinuance of post-offices, the changes of sites and names of such offices, 
the appointment and removal of postmasters and local agents, and to the instruction given to

postmasters. This office further provides for the marking and rating stamps and letter balance 
for postmasters, and blanks and stationery for the use of the department, an ■ has the super- 
vision of the ocean mail-steamship lines, and the international postal arrangement with foreign 
governments. 

There were, in 1872, 31,863 post-offlces in the country, 2,452 of which were money-order post-ofHces, 
or 1818 more offices than in the preceding year ; and there were issued (i5.5,3S0,S20 letter and news- 
paper postage stamps, which number may be assumed to be nearly identical with the number of 
letters and parcels sent through the mails. The handling of tliis immense amount of mail mat- 
ter required, besides the 31,8G3 postmasters, 5,.'>14 contractors, 3,754 clerks, 1,442 carriers, 7(54 route 
agents, 642 railway postal clerks, 146 mail-route messengers, 95 local agents, and 59 special agents. 
There were thus in the employ of the Post-office Department, 44,655 offlci.als, including the Post- 
master-General and his 345 assistants and clerks, in the General Post-office in Washington. Dur- 
ing tlie same year 12,774,064 letters were sent to foreign countries, and 11,588,436 letters were 
received from foreign countries. 

The Second Assistant Postmasler-Oeneral is at the head of the Contract Office. It is his duty to 
arr.ange the mail service, to (inter into contracts for carrying the mails, to fix the departures and 
arrivals on all the routes, the points of distribution, and to make regulations for the govern- 
ment of the domestic mail service. This office reports weekly to the Auditor all contracts execu- 
ted, and all orders atfecting accounts for mail transportation. To the Inspection Division of the 
Contract Office is assigned the dutj^ of receiving and examining the registers of the arrivals and 
departures of the mails, and reports of mail failures ; of noting the delinquencies of contractors, 
and reporting thereon to the Postmaster-General ; of providing mail bags, and qf securing the 
mail against depredations. 

During' the j^ear 1872 the country had 7,259 mail routes, representing a total of 251,393 miles ; of 
which 57,911 miles were by railroad, 18,860 by steamboat, and 174,627 by horse power. The annual 
mail transportation passed over 664,984,322 miles, i. e., a distance 4,600 times as large as the circum- 
ference of the globe. 

The Third Assistant Postmaster-General is at the head of the Finance Office, and supervises the 
financial business of the department not assigned by law to the Auditor, embracing accounts, 
with the draft offices and other depositories of the department, the issuing of warrants and 
drafts in payment of balances reported by the Auditor to be due to mail contractors and 
Other persons. He has supervision of the accounts of officers under order to deposit their 
quarterly balances at designated points, and also of the rendering by postmasters of their 
quarterly returns of postage. He has also charge of the dead-letter office and of the issuing of 
postage stamps. 

The Postmaster-General estimates the total expenditures for the mail service of the year ending: 
June 30, 1873, to be .$30,863,167, and the revenue from the sale of postage stamps, the money order- 
business, etc., to be $24,552,505, leaving a deficit to be supplied by congressional appropriation, of 
$6,310,502. 

The Attorney-General's Office. The duty of the Attorney-General is to prosecute and con-, 
duct all suits in the Supreme Court, in which the United States is a party, and to give his advice 
and opinion upon questions of law, when required by the President, or when requested by the 
head of any department. He is also charged with the general superintendence and direction of 
all United States attorneys and marshals, as to the manner of discharging their respective 
duties. He is aided in the performance of his duties by a solicitor-genei-al and two assistant 
attorneys-general. He further examines the titles of all land to be purchased by the United: 
States as the sites of arsenals, light-houses, custom-houses, and other public works ; receives all. 
applications for the appointment of judges, district attorneys, and marshals, and prepares state- 
ments to the President on applications for pardons, and the reiuission of imprisonment of public- 
debtors. 

XV. UISTORT OF THE UNITEI) STATES. 

The history of the United States as a nation may be said to begin with the session of the First 
Colonial Congress. This body met at New Vork city on the 7th of October, 1765, Timothy Bug- 
gies, of Massachusetts, being President. Nine colonies were represented by twenty-eight dele- 
gates. 

The causes which had led to the appointment of these delegates were the oppressive laws, 
enacted for the colonieB by the British Parliament. As early as 1651 the " Navigation Act " had 
prohibited exports except in English vessels ; in 1733 an onerous duty was imposed on imports of" 
sugar and molasses ; in 1764 this act was re-enacted and resulted in the complete destruction of 
the West India trade to the colonial ports ; and finally, in 1765, the Stamp Act passed the Hovises of • 
Parliament, ordaining that all legal instruments, newspapers, almanacs, etc., should be stamped 
and pay duty. Oppressive restrictions on the freedom of the press had always existed, and 
While the struggling colonies were thus laden with unfair burdens, they were allowed norepre-

sentatives in Parliament. Tlie settlers had left England, for the most part, to seek that freedom 
of conscience, equality of rights before the law, and control of their own property, which had 
been denied them in the mother country. Hence they determined that such abuses should not be 
perpetuated in the New World, and the First Colonial Congress met to prepare a Declaration of 
Kights and a statement of grievances, declariiag that the colonies should be taxed only by Iheir 
own representatives. 

In consequence of this action, the Stamp Act was repealed, but the policy of England was not 
altered. Other injurious and obnoxious laws were passed, the charter of Massachusetts sub- 
verted for resisting them, troops sent for their enforcement, and the feeling of bitterness con- 
stantly increased. 

The Second Colonial Congress accordingly met at Philadelphia, September, 1774, tinder the 
name of the Continental Congress. It recommended that intercourse between the colonies and 
mother country should cease, and endorsed the spirit of opposition shown in Virginia and Mas- 
sachusetts. Thus supported, these colonies began to equip troops and accumulate supplies; 
•while the home government hastened to dispatch to America several ships of the line and tea 
thousand troops to reduce the " rebels." 

The Revolutionary Tra?-.— The long-foreseen conflict began by an engagement at Lexington 
and Concord, Mass., April 19, 1775, in which the British lost 280 men. This was the signal for a 
general uprising of .the provincial troops. The forts Ticonderoga and Crown Point on Lake 
Cluunijlain were seized, and an army of nearly 20,00) men assembled around Boston. On June 
17, a detachment of these troops under Col. Prescott entrenched themselves on Breed's (now 
Bunker) Hill, which commanded the city. Generals Howe and Clinton, at the head of about 3,000 
Briti.'?h soldiers, attacked them promptly, and after a hotly contested struggle forced the provin- 
cials to retire. But this success cost the victors more than a thousand men. 

Meanwhile the Continental Congress had reassembled at Philadelphia, and organized the 
higher departments of the army, appointing General George Washington Commander-in-chief, 
and voting to raise and support 20,000 troops. With the assistance of General Gates, General 
Washington immediately devoted himself to organizing and equipping his men. The only other 
mditiiry operation of the year was an expedition against Quebec and Montreal, under General 
Montgomery, which resulted in his death and in the capture of most of his troops. 

Early in the spring of 1770, Washington, by a masterly movement, obtained possession of a 
position commanding the city of Boston and compelled its immediate evacuation by the British 
troops under Sir William Howe. They embarked in their fleet and sailed southerly. Penetra- 
ting their design to land at New York, Washington prevented it by the promptness of his move 
ments. Thus forced to abandon his plans, General Howe attempted to capture Charleston, but 
was driven off with severe loss. 

On the first of July the Declaration of Independence, prepared by a committee consisting of 
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingstone 
was submitted to the Continental Congress, and on the fourth was ratified by the delegates. 
Thus was the allegiance of the colonies to the British crown dissolved, and their freedom 
declared under the name of the United States op America. 

At this very time (July 2) the British troops, largely reinforced, had taken possession of Staten 
Island, and were preparing to drive Washington and his army from Xew York. After several 
severe engagements and numerous strategic movements, they accomplished their design, and 
forced the Continental army to evacuate the city in November and take refuge in New Jersey. 
Promptly following up this advantage, Lord Cornwallis actively pursued the retreating enemy 
until they were driven beyond the Delaware river. 

This was the gloomiest moment of the war. Death, disease, and desertion had reduced the 
Continental army to less than 3,000 men, and these Avere but half-clothed, poorly cquippeil, and 
often nearly starved. In this desperate strait Washington determined on a daring movement 
as his only resource. Reerossing the Delaware amid floating ice and a driving snow storm, on 
Christmas night, he attacked Trenton, at that time occupied by a regiment of Hessians, and 
captured it with little loss. The British troops fell back in haste, and by a series of rapid move- 
ments were forced to positions near New York Harbor. 

In the summer of 1777 the British forces at New York embarked in the fleet, sailed up Chesa- 
peake Bay, and landed at the head of Elk river, Maryland. Washington hastened to meet them 
with an army better equipped than in the previous year, and numbering among his officers the 
gallant Marquis de Lafayette and Kosciusko. The opposing troops met on the banks of the 
Brandy wine, Sept. 11, 1777, when a severe engagement resulted in the defeat of the provincial 
troops. They retired to the Schuylkill, and shortly after the British occupied Philadelphia. 

This disaster was, however, more than counterbalanced by the capture of a British ainiy under 
General Burgoyne, in New York. This officer, at the head of about 10,000 troops, had moved down 
from Canada and captured Ticonderoga, but wasrfihecked by the defeat of one of his detachments 
near Beuiiington, Vt., Aug, 16. After two severe engagements with the Continental troops under 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 51 

General Gates, he was surrounded at Saratoga, his supplies cut off, and on the 17th of October he 
■was forced to surrender his army prisoners of war. This success greatly inspirited the Ameri- 
cans .and supplied them with much needed means to continue the struggle. Several minor 
engagements ensued, after which the main army went into winter quarters at Vallej- Forge. 

Early in 1778 a treaty of alli.ance was concluded between the United States and France, in con- 
Bequence of which the latter power sent a fleet and a number of troops to aid the Ame:ricans, 
The British during the summer deemed it prudent to concentrate at New York, and therefore 
evacuated Philadelphia. In their retreat across New Jersey the indecisive battle of Monmouth 
was fought. Subsequently they captured Savannah, Georgia, this being the only advantage they 
gained during the campaign. 

In spite of the French allies, the year 1779 did not prove favorable to the American arms. The 
British forces overran and plundered Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, and the shores of Connec- 
ticut. They incited the Indians to incursions upon the defenseless frontier settlements, and 
the Continental Congress had exhausted both its resources and its credit, apparently in vain. 

Nor was the campaign of 1780 more reassuring. In April of that year Cliarleston was assaulted 
and captured by Sir Henry Clinton, and South Carolina subjected to his arms. A strong force 
from the North under General Gates was defeated at Sandy Creek (Aug. KJ); and a body of 
patriots under Col. Sumter was dispersed. In the North, the traitor, Benedict Arnold, covered 
his name with everlasting obloquy by his treacherous attempt to surrender West Point to the 
British Commander for a sum of money. Indeed, such was the discouragement and suffering 
whicli at the close of this year prevailed in the American army, that there was imminent dan- 
ger that it woukl disbaird. This was prevented by the energetic action of Congress, and espe- 
cially by the efficient labors of Robert Morris, superintendent of the treasury. 

In 1781 General Greene took command of the southern army, and without gaining any decisive 
Victory, succeeded by a number of well-planned movements and attacks in conflning the English 
forces at the close of the campaign to the cities of Savannah and Charleston. The Marquis de 
Liafayette, commanding in Virginia, manoeuvered in opposition to the British troops under Lord 
Cornwallis, until in August they had retired to Yorktown. When this had been achieved. 
General Washington with the main army at once hastened south, and the b'rench fleet proceeded 
toblock up the York and .James rivers. Cornwallis, seeing escape impossible, surrendered on the 
19th of October, with 7,000 troops and his munitions of war. 

This was the last important action of the war. Tired of the ineffectual struggle, the British 
nation clamored for a termination of hostilities. Neither the king nor the ministry was willing 
to acknowledge defeat, but they were at last obliged to yield. Not, however, until the last 
day of November, 178-2, were the preliminary articles of peace signed. 

The war over, the next important step was to decide upon the relation to each other of the 
several states which had shared in the conflict. As early as the summer of 1775 Benjamin Franklin, 
had proposed to Congress articles of confederation ; but at that time the step was deemed by 
the majority premature. In November, 1777, however, a plan of fedei-ation was adopted, and 
gradually ratified by all the states. Experience soon showed how defective it was, and in 1787 
delegates from all the states, except Rhode Island, met at Philadelphia to prepare a new consti- 
tution. In the following year this was adopted by majorities of the people in eleven of the states, 
though not without strenuous opposition. 

As the new government made provision for the election of officers, George Wasliington was 
Chosen President of the United States, and John Adams, Vice-president. 

Wci,shingion''s Administration (April 30, 1789, to March 4, 1797). — During the administration of 
Washington the attention of Congress was chiefly devoted to organizing the government on a 
firm basis. A national judiciary was established ; the departments of state, of the treasury and 
of war were constituted; provisions for levj'ing duties and for internal taxation were framed ; 
a United States Bank was organized ; and a Federal loan was negotiated in Europe.- These 
measures were not all received with equal approval by the people. Especially that levying a 
duty on doniostic distilled spirits was unpopular with the inhabitants of western Pennsylvania, 
■with whom whisky was a staple manufacture. They opposed the collection of the tax with 
arms in their hands, and not until a large military fovce was sent against them did they submit. 
This is known as the " Whisky Insurrection" (1791). It was not the only service the military 
were called upon to perform under this administration. The Indians of the Ohio valley attacked 
the frontier settlements in 1790, and defeated the regular troops under both General Harmar, in 
1790, and General St. Clair, in 1791. At length, in 1793, in a decisive battle on the Maumee river. 
General Wayne completely routed them and broke their power. During this period the country 
constantly increased in prosperity, and the states of North Carolina, Vermont, Tennessee, and 
Kentucky were admitted to the Union. 

John Adams's Admi7iislration {1797 to 1801). — Washington had been elected by the unanimous 
voice of the people. But when he retired from office, the two great pai'ties, the Federalists, 
Who were conservative, attached to the views of Washington, and opposed to the sentiments of 



52 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

the French Revolution, and the Anti-fe(leralist9,radical Democrats.each struggled for the mastery, 
John Adams, the Federal candidate, was elected President, and Thomas Jefferson, Vice-president. 
Early in this administration war with France was threatened. Provoked because they could not 
emljroil the United States in a war with England, the French Directory insulted the American 
Envoy at Paris, authorized the capture of American vessels by French cruisers, and sent vessels 
of war to the American coast. Congress took active measures of defense. An army and navy 
■were organized, but fortunately, before actual hostilities broke out, the French Directory made 
overtures of peace. Washington, who had been appointed as commander of the small standing 
army which liad been raised, did not live to witness the restoration of peace. On the 14th of 
December, 1799, he died at his residence at Mt. Vernon, Va., after a shoi-t illness, at the age of 
sixty-eight years. During the following summer the seat of government was removed from 
Philadelphia to the city which had been named after him, and the site of which he had assisted 
In choosing. His death, together with the unpopularity of the "alien and sedition laws," 
aimed at rebel aliens and government libelers, prepared the way for the defeat of the Federalists 
at the next presidential campaign. 

Jefferson's AdminisCradon (1801 to 1809).— After a close contest Thomas Jefferson was elected 
President, Aaron Burr Vice-president, both belonging to the Anti-Federal or Democratic party. 
The internal revenue system was at once abolished, and other laws distasteful to the party now 
In power abolished. In 1802 Ohio was admitted as a state, and in the next year Louisiana was 
purchased from France, for $15,000,000. The same year Commodore Preble was sent against the 
pirates of the Barbary coast. After two years of desultory conflict, favorable terms of peace wei'O 
offered by the bashaw and accepted by the United States. In 1807 the celebrated trial of Aaron 
Burr, Vice-president under the previous administration, took place. He was arrested on the 
charge of treason, but not convicted. 

The wars of France and England, and especially the unjust claims put forward by the latter, 
constantly increased the resentment felt toward the latter power by the Americans. An unpro- 
voked attack on the American frigate Chesapeake, in 1807 ; the seizure of American sailors by press- 
gangs ; the injustice of the British "orders in council," which exposed neutral vessels trading 
■with France to capture ; and the inciting of the western Indians by British emissaries, combined 
to convince the people that their only mode of redress was a declaration of war. This alterna- 
tive, however, was postponed to the last, and was not adopted until 

Madison's AdminislrcUion (1809 to 1817).— James Madison belonged to the same party as his prede- 
cessor, and continued his policy. After an ineffectual attempt to obtain justice from Great 
Britain, the President, in accordance with the action of Congress, issued a proclamation of war, 
June 19, 1812. 

The War of 1812— 1814.— In the fall of the previous year (Nov., 1811), Gen. William Henry Harrison 
succeeded in crushing the power of the hostile Indians of the west, at the bloody and obsti- 
nately-contested battle of Tippecanoe, in Indiana. But the campaign of 1812 did not continue 
such success. The Americans lost the posts of Mackinaw and Detroit, and were defeated at 
Queenstown, on the Niagara river. Fortunately the navy more than counterbalanced these 
reverses. Within seven months from the declaration of war,flve hundred British vessels and three 
frigates were captured by the Americans, with an average loss of but one sailor to eight of the 
enemy. Captain Isaac Hull, and Commodores Decatur and Bainbridge especially distinguished 
themselves in these engagements ; but the large majority of prizes were taken by "privateers," 
fitted out by citizens. 

In the beginning of 1813, the American forces were ranged in three divisions, one under General 
Harrison, on Lake Erie, the second under General Dearborn, on Lake Ontario, the third under 
General Wade, on Lake Champlain. Commodore Perry commanded the American squadron on 
Lake Erie, which distinguished itself on Sep. 10th by a brilliant victory over the British fleet. 
The troops of Harrison immediately embarked, crossed the lake, and gained a complete victory 
over the English soldiery, under General Proctor, at the battle of the Thames (Oct. 5). In this 
engagement the renowned Indian warrior, Tecumseh, was slain. His death destroyed the power 
of the Indians of the north, while in the decisive battle of Horse Shoe Bend, in Georgia, the 
following March, General Jackson humbled the southern tribes. 

Gen. Dearborn, in the meanwhile, attacked and captured York in Canada, and the English in 
return made a descent on Sackett's Harbor. Several other engagements occurred on the nor* 
thern frontier, but none of a decisive character. 

At sea, the fortunes of the war wore not so much in favor of the Americans as previously. In 
Februai-y the Hornet, under Captain Lawrence, destroyed the British brig Peacock, but in the 
following June that brave officer was killed, and his ship captured in an engagement with the 
frigate Shannon. His last words were: "Don't give up the ship," which has become the motto 
of our navy. The British commerce, however, suffered severely by the numerous privateers 
which scoured the seas capturing British merchantmen. 

In tbe following year, 1814, Generals Winfleld Soott and Blpley oroaaed Niagara Biver at 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 53 

the head of about 3,000 men, seized Fort Erie, and on the 25th of July engaged the British forces 
■under General Drummond at Lundy's Lane. This was the most obstinate battle of the war. 
It resulted favorably for the American forces, but at a loss of nearly one-third their number. Still 
more disastrous to the British was the battle of Plattsburg, on Lake Champlain, which took 
place Sept. 11, 1S14. Their land forces attacked the United States troops under General Macomb, 
while their fleet engaged that of Commodore MacDonough, lying in the harbor. They signally 
failed in both attempts, losing most of their vessels and aVjout 2,.500 men. 

Meanwhile the British fleet on the Atlantic coast carried on a series of depredations on the 
defenseless seaport towns. Hampton, on the Chesapeake, was burned ; a force of .5,000 marines 
proceeded to Washinglon, and having bui-ned the Capitol, President's House, and other public 
buildings, hastily retreated (Aug. 24). Alexandria was plundered, and Baltimore attacked, but 
unsuccessfully. 

General Andrew Jackson, comm^anding at the south, having driven the English troops from. 
Pensacola, repaired to New Orleans to repel a large force under General Packenham. This he did 
most victoriously at the Battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8, 181.5, in which 12,000 Britisli troops were 
repulsed, with a loss of nearly 2,000 dead and wounded, by 6,000 American militia, whose dead and 
wounded amounted to only thirteen. This was the last important action of the war. Indeed, 
before it took place a treaty of peace had been signed at Ghent by commissioners of the two 
powers (Dec. 24, 1814). The objects for which the United States had been fighting were virtually 
conceded. 

In the following year (1815) Commodore Decatur still further established the reputation of the 
American navy by the reduction of Tunis and Tripoli, whose piratical inhabitants had been 
plundering our merchantmen. 

The war left the country in debt $ 75,000,000, and to aid in restoring the finances, early in 1816 a 
second national bank was established, with a capital of $35,000,000, and a charter to continue La 
force 20 years. 

Administration of James Monroe (1817 to 1825).— The next administration shared the political 
views of that which preceded it, but was marked bj' less bitterness and more general good feel- 
ing. The only warlike event was an invasion of Florida, then a Spanish colony^ by General- 
Jackson, in pursuit of hostile Indians. This might have given rise to serious trouble, but in 1821 
Spain ceded east and west Florida to the United States, for $.5,000,000. The slavery question at 
this time began to assume threatening proportions. In Aug., 1821, the " Missouri Compro- 
mise" was passed, by which slavery was to be excluded from all territory west of the Missis- 
sippi, north of 36° 30', except in Missouri. This pacified the opposing parties for a time. 
President Monroe is, perhaps, best remembered for his maintenance of the "3Ionroe doctrine." 
This is expressed in his message of Dec. 2, 1823, and is as follows : " We owe it to candor and to 
the amicable relations existing between the United States and European powers, to declare that 
we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system of government to any 
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety." 

John Q. Adamses Administration (1825 to 1829).— Freed from external foes, and not yet divided by 
party strife, the country now enjoyed remarkable prosperity. Internal improvements on a 
large scale commenced, and the first railroad (at Quincy, Mass.,) was constructed. The Erie 
Canal was finished by the state of New York, and the commerce and manufactures of the 
country rapidly increased. The President pursued the same policy as his father, John Adams, 
which was "Whig" or " Republican." It is mentioned as a remarkable coincidence that on the 
fiftieth anniversary of American Independence, which occurred July 4, 1826, John Adams and. 
Thomas JeflTerson, so long the heads of the opposing political parties, both died. 

Jackson''s Administration (1829 to 1837). — After an exciting political campaign General Andrew 
Jackson was elected president by the Democratic party. His first action was to remove 
numerous oflace-holders and appoint in their place his political friends. In 1832 John C. Calhoun, 
who had been elected Vice-president, resigned that oflice, and representing South Carolina in 
the Senate, declared the protective taritf (originally introduced by the south, but grown 
unpalatable to it) null and void, and threatened secession if the general government attempted 
to execute it in South Carolina. The President at once ordered a vessel of war and troops to 
Charleston to collect the revenue by force, if necessary. Fortunately this resort was avoided, 
and Henry Clay introduced a compromise measure by which the strife was adjusted. In the 
same year the President vetoed the extension of the charter of the United States Bank, which 
he termed "the scourge of the people," and in 1833 removed the government funds deposited In 
that institution— actions which excited the bitterest animadversion. 

Hostilities with the Indians constantly occupied the regular troops. On the western frontier, 
in Illinois and Wisconsin, the tribes assembled under the chief, Black Hawk, in 1832, but were 
disijersed and their leader captured. In 1835 and 1838 the Cherokees were after some diflSculty 
removed west of the Mississippi ; while the Creeks and Seminoles, in Florida, refusing to 
emigrate, collected under Osceola, and for seven years successfully resisted the troops sent 
against them. At length Colonel Zachary Taylor compelled their submission. 



54 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

Van Buren's Adminislration (1837 to 1S41) — The successor of Jackson was Mai-tin Van Buren.of 
New York, also a Democrat. Early in his administration (1837) the country was overwhelmed by 
a disastrous and general mercantile failure, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. Thi3 
was the direct consequence of land speculations and long credits. All the banks suspended 
epecie payment, and Mississippi and Florida repudiated the debts of their commonwealths. An 
indepeuLVent United States treasury, with sub-treasury offices in New York and other ports of 
collection, was organized in 1839. Treasury notes to the amount of $10,000,000 were authorized to 
be issued. These measures, however, did not succeed in restoring health to trade : and as the 
disasters of the country were attriljutod to tlie action of the Democratic party, the result in the 
next presidential election was the success of the Whigs by a majority much larger than was 
expected by any one. 

Harrison and Ti/lei-'s Administrations (1841 to 1815).— General Harrison, the "hero of the Thames 
and Tippecanoe," lived but a month after his inauguration, and Mr. Tyler, the Vice-president, 
became acting Prusitlent. The sub-treasury bill was repealed, and a general bankrupt act 
declared, but as Mr. Tyler vetoed two separate bills chartering a U. S. bank, he was denounced 
In the strongest terms by the party which had elected him, and his entire cabinet resigned 
except Daniel Webster, Secretary of State. Nevertheless the finances of the country rapidly 
Improved. In 184-2 a treaty was negotiated with Great JJritain, relating to the N. W. boundary 
of the United States, or the Oregon line. Late in this administration, Texas, a province of 
Mexico, settled chiefly by emigrants from the United States, which had declared its indepen- 
dence, applied for admission into the Union. This was strongly resisted by the Whig party, bub 
early in 1845 Congress authorized the President to negotiate with Texas terms of annexation. 

PoWs Administration (1845 to 1840).— The contest of 1814 was between Henry Clay, the Whig can- 
didate, and James K. Polk, who was elected by the Democrats. The action of Congress with 
reference to Texas necessarily led to a rupture witli Mexico, and that her troops might not move 
upon that state in an unprepared condition, General Taylor was ordered to lead his forces to the 
Rio Grande, and a naval squadron was dispatched to the Gulf of Mexico to support him. 

The Mexican irar.— Hostilities began by an attack on a body of United States dragoons, 
April 27, 184H, on the east bank of the Rio Grande, above Matamoras. On the 8th and 9lh of May 
General Taylor fought the successful battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, which drove the 
Mexicans beyond the river. When the news of these engagements reached Washington, tlie 
President was authorized to call out 50,000 volunteers, and a warlike enthusiasm was displayed in 
all the states. The army was not ready for action until the fall of 1846. It was then divided into 
three columns, the main body under General Taylor to march upon Montei-ey, while a second 
division under GcMieral Wool was to attack Chihuahua, and the third, under General Kearney, 
■was to direct its course to Santa Fe. Tliese objects were jiromptly accomplished, Monterej' sur- 
rendering on the 24111 Sept., Santa Fe shortly previous, and Chihuahua on the 2Sth of Feb., 1847. 
Meanwhile Captain .J. C. Fremont, of the topographical engineers, with several other officers, 
had possessed himself of San Francisco, and gained the entire control of Upper California. 

As in Feb., 1847, General Taylor's forces had become reduced to less than 5,000 men by detach- 
ments sent elsewhere, the Mexican General Santa Anna considered this a favorable moment to 
attack him, and on the 23d of that month assaulted his works on the heights of Bucna Vista, 
three miles south of Saltillo, with an army of 20,000 men. In spite of this numerical superiority 
lie was driven in disorder from the field, with a loss of more than 1,500 men. A few days after 
this event. General Scott at the head of 12,000 men landed near Vera Cruz (March 9, 1847), and 
began to invest the city. It yielded after a vigorous resistance on the 29th, and shortly after- 
■ward the troops were jiut in motion for the Mexican capital. Santa Anna resisted them on the 
heights of Cerro Goriio, but was routed with lieavy loss (April 18). The cities of Jalapa and 
Puebla fell, and on the 18th of August the entire army, numbering 9,000 men, reached a position 
ten miles trom the city of Mexico. Here they were opposed by over 30,000 Mexicans under Santa 
Anna. With desperate bravery they carried by assault the batteries on the heights of Contrcras, 
the fortified post of Cherubusco, and the fortress of Chapultapec, which had been deemed impreg- 
nable. Terrified by these losses, Santa Anna and the civil officers of the government fled from 
the city by night, the array dissolved, and on the I4th of September the American flag floated 
over the national palace of Mexico. This ended the war, and on February 2-3, 1848, a treaty of 
peace was concluded between the two powers. The United States obtained New Mexico and Cali- 
fornia, and agreed to pay to and for Mexico about $18,000,000. 

Taylor and Fillmore's Administralions{\fH9 to 1S5.'J).— The next presidential canvass resulted in 
the election of General Zachary Taylor, the Whig nominee, but of moderate views. The central 
political question of the day was whether slavery sliould be carried into the new territories. 
This was strenuously opposed by the majority in the north, and as earnestly advocated by the 
south. The " compromise" measures, finally passed by Congress, which excluded slavery from 
California, left it optional with the people of Utali and New Mexico, and allowed owners to cap- 
ture fugitive slaves in free states, were equally disliked by each party. Secession conventions 
were held in South Carolina and Mississippi, and armed resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law 
advocated in the north. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMEEICA. 55 

Pending this discussion, President Taylor died, July 9, 1850, and the Vice-pi-esident, Millard 
Fillmore, was installed as acting President. 

The discovery of the rich gold deposits of California at this time attracted general attention, 
througliout the world, and led to a vast emigration to tliat territory. 

Pierce's Administration (1853 to 1857).— In 1852 Franklin Pierce of New Ilampshii'e, the Demo- 
cratic candidate for President, was elected over General Winfleld Scott, the candidate of the 
Whig party. The Missouri Compromise was abrogated in 1854. Violent collisions occiirred in 
Kansas between the Free-Soil and Pro-Slavery parties. In March of same year a commercial 
treaty was effected with Jajian. The discussions which sought to give new efficacy to the Fugi- 
tive Slave Law, and which culminated on March 6th, 1857, in the famous Dred Scott decision, 
delivered by Chief Justice Tanej', greatly increased party excitement, and intensified the strug- 
gle between the friends and opponents of slavery. Under such circumstances the campaign of 
1856 took place, the Democratic candidate being James Buchanan and the Free-Soil candidate 
General John C. Fremont. The former was elected. 

Buchanan's Administration (1857 to 1861). — Party lines became more closely drawn upon the 
right of extending slavery into the territories, and the capture of fugitives on free soil. lu 
Kansas and Nebraska bloody collisions between the ext>onents of free and slave ideas were not 
Infrequent. Mr. I'uchanan had great trouble with his territorial governors, especially of 
Kansas. August 24, 1857, began the great commercial panic, which, by Decemljer 25, of same 
5'ear, resulted in 5,123 failures, with an aggregate loss of $291,757,000. The Utah expedition was 
the only army movement of importance during 1857-53. On October 17, 185!), occurred the 
affair at Harper's Ferry, which resulted in the hanging of John Brown. The presidential canvass 
of ISiiO found the Democratic party divided, one faction claiming that slav(?ry existed by 
constitutional right in all the territories, the other that the 'question of its existence depended 
on the will of the people thereof. Of the former, John C. Breckinridge became the candidate for 
the presidency ; of the latter, Stephen A. Douglas, while Abraham Lincoln became the candidate 
of the new Republican party, and John Bell of the conservative or compromise elements of 
both parties. Mr. Lincoln was chosen (November 0, 1860) by a large majority. His election wa3 
the signal for a movement on the part of the southern states in favor of a separate government. 
On November 7, on receipt of the news of the election, the "Palmetto Flag" was hoisted on 
the shipping in Charleston Harbor. November 10, the Legislature of South Carolin;? introduced 
a bill to raise and equip 10,000 men, and one ordering a convention to consider the question of 
secession. Her Senators both resigned. November 18, the Georgia Legislature appropriated 
$1,000,000 to arm the state. Major Anderson was sent to Fort Moultrie to relieve Colonel Gardner. 
December 1, Florida Legislature ordered a secession convention. December 3, Congress met, and

Johnson's Administration (1865 — 1869).— President Johnson developed a poliey at variance with 
the wishes of those who had supported him for Vice-president. So unsatisfactory did hi3 
administration become to the majority, tliat proceedings in impeachment were begun, but they 
failed. His antagonism with Congress and the consequent failure to settle many of the pressing 
questions of state and finance evolved by the war, paved the way for an easy election of General 
Grant and Schuyler (-'olfax. the nominees of the Republican party. 

Grant's First Administration (1S69 to 1S7'2). — All the departments of the govei'nment being now 
in harmony, this administration became effectual in applying the various laws looking to 
reconstruction, providing for the civil privileges of the colored race, giving fixity to the 
national currency, credit to the securities and for the reduction of the debt. The President's 
announcement to secure for the country rest and peace after the excitement and turmoil of 
wai', was received on every hand with approbation. A partially successful attempt M'as made 
to convert the higher interest-bearing loans into bonds bearing a lower rate of interest. A new 
and humanized Indian policy was devised and put in practice. The Alabama claims were 
adjudicated and the vexatious question of the N. W. boundary settled. The country responded 
to the new condition of affairs and the guarantees of quiet, by a greatly increased development 
of natural resources, improved industries, large public improvements, and fresh commercial 
activity. Repetition of such an administration was deemed desirable by the majority, and 
President Grant was re-elected, with Henry Wilson for Vice-president, after a bitter and unique 
canvass against Horace Greeley, as the candidate of the opposition. 

Grant's Second Administration (1S73-). — The present administration, in the main, continues the 
policy of the former one, except in the particular ot a desire to obtain for tiie government a 
footing in the West Indies, and for trans-continental and other railroad enterprises donations of 
public lands and government credit. The country was threatene<l for a time with serious com- 
plications with Spain, but these were averted by a wise statesmanship. The speculative idea 
•vyhieh grew up under a redundant currenej-, and the daring activities subsequent to the war, 
resulted in financial disaster at the close of 1873. In addition to its usual labors the administra- 
tion therefore found itself in the midst of problems for the restoration of credit, the adjustment 
of the currency to the wants of the people and the return of business to an economic and 
steadfast basis, whose successful solution will be numbered among its most worthy achieve- 
meuts.

AliABAMA.— The region occupied by the 
Slate of Alabama was first explored by tlie 
Spaniards and French. The name was taken 
from tlie Alibamons, an Indian tribe near 
the Gulf coast. Its signification is unknown. 
Until 17!)8 Alabama formed part of the State 
of Geortria. In that year it was organized as a 
territory, emljracing" also the country subse- 
quently included in Mississippi. In 1819 it was 
admitted into the Union. 

Alabama is bounded on the E by Georgia; 
on the S. by Florida and tlie Gulf of Mexico ; on 
the W. by' Missis.sippi, and on the N. by Ten- 
nessee. It extends from 3(P 1'2' N lat., to".3.5' N. 
lat., a distance of .331 mis., and from 84^ 55' W. 
long., toSij^ 35' W. long., a distance of 214 mis. 
The area is .50,722 sq. mis., or 32,462,080 acres. 

Surface. — Alabama comprises, in regard to 
the formation of its surface and geological struc- 
turo, two widely different sections, divided by 
a line commencing at Girard, on tlie Chatta- 
hoochee R., and running VV. to Notasulga, Tal- 
laseee on the Tallapoosa R., Wetumpka on the 
Coosa R., Centreville on the Cahawba R., and 
Tuscaloosa on the Tombigbee R. 

The section of the state S. of tliis line includes 
the post-tertiary, cretaceous and tertiary forma- 
tions, and consists of level or undulating plains, 
which are ofttMi diveraifled by low ridges of 
drift. North of the line indicated, the character 
of the country greatlv changes Tallapoosa, 
Chambers, Rai'ulolph, Coosa and Talladega cos, 
with part of Benton co., are occupied by the 
metamorpliic formation, while the central part 
of this section embraces the productive coal- 
measures of the Black Warrior R. The surface 
of this region is broken and hilly, and gradually 
rises toward the N., where, in a "ridge extending 
from E. to W., through Morgan, Lawrence and 
Franklin cos., it attains an average altitude 
above the level of the ocean of 1,100 and LlfJO 
feet. This region is traversed by numerous 
ranges, trending from the N. E. to the S. W. ; 
the higliest of which, known as the Lookout Mt., 
is the only elevation in the state that presents 
anything" like the impressive grandeur of a 
mountain. It extends from the Tennessee R., 
near Chattanooga, through N. W. Georgia and 
enters De Kalb co., Alalmma, forming the 
north-western barrier of the Coosa R. valley. 
The less elevated but broader range of tlie 
Raccoon Mt.lies W. of it. and extends along the 
Tennessee R., from Shelraount, Tenn., to the 
great bend, near Warrentown, in Marshall co. 
A long and narrow valley separates these two 
mountains, extending from Scottsville, near 
the Cahawba to the N. E. part of the state The 
* towns of Eiyton, Jonesboroughand Murphrees- 
ville are situated in this valley, which bears 
ditferent local names. 

The most northern section of the state is 
occupied by the fertile valley of the Tennessee 
R Numerous prolonsjations of the Cumber- 
land Mts. extend from Tennessee into this part 
of Alabama, and terminate at some distance 
from the river, inclosing narrow and often 
picturesque valleys, which have been excavated 
by the tributaries of the Tennessee. 

Minerals and Mineral Sprinc/s, — The mineral 
treasures of Alabama, although not compara- 
ble to those of the western part of our 
country, are valuable and of considerable 
range. " Gold is found in the E. central part of 
the state, but not in paying quantities Vari- 
ous iron ores, as miignetic iron, red and brown 
Ueiaatite, ochre, etc., are fouad in Bibb, Jeffer- 



son, Tuscaloosa, Shelby and Benton cos. ; and 
as limestone and fuel are abundant, several 
furnaces are in active operation Manganese 
occurs in Talladega and Randolph cos. Varie- 
gated marbles, black, buff, or nearly white, 
abound in Talladega and Shelby cos Bitumi- 
nous coal, however, is the most valuable miner- 
al. The coal measures cover an extensive area 
in the northern part of the state. 

Alabama abounds in mineral spring.s, some of 
which are famous for their medicinal properties. 
In Lauderdale co. are Bailey's Springs, 9 mis. 
from Florence : Stewart Spring, one rale, from 
Florence, and otliers, which contain free car- 
bonic acid, iron, soda, sulphur and potassa. 
Bladen Springs, in Clarke co., and Blounts 
Springs, in Blount co., are also much resorted 
to by persons in quest of health or pleasure. 

Bays and River.i.—The sea-shore of Alabama 
is indented by Mobile Bay, 35 mis. long, and 
12 mis. wide. Its eastern "extension is Bonse- 
cour Bay. The entrance to Mobile Bay i9 
between' Dauphin Island and Moljile Point, the 
extremity of a long, sandy peninsula, on which 
Fort Morgan stands. 

The largest portion of the state is drained by 
the Mobile R.. which is formf-d by the conflu- 
ence of the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers, 30 
mis N. of Mobile Bay. The Alalmma is formed 
by the junction of the Coosa and Tallapoosa 
rivers, which enter into the state from Gi'orgia. 
It has a general south-westerly cour.«e, and i3 
navigable for large steamers from 3Iobile to 
Montgomery. Smaller boats asceml the Coosa 
R., as far as Wetumpka and the Tallapoosa as 
far as Notasulga. The Tombigbee R rises in 
Mississippi, and intersects the western part of 
Alabama. It receives the Black Warrior R., 
which drains the coal region of the state, and 
is navigable as far as Tuscaloosa. 

The Chattahoochee It. forms about 1.50 mis. 
of the eastern boundary and steamboats ascend 
it to Girard. in Russell co. Numerou.s smaller 
streams drain the south-eastern )iortion of 
Alabama, and passing through western Florida, 
empty into theGulf, as Choetawhatchee R.,and 
its atfluent. Pea R ; the Yellow R., and the 
Escambia R., which receives the Conecuh and 
Sepulgah rivers. The Perdido R. separates 
Florida from Alabama. 

The northern portion of the state is drained 
by the Tennessee R. This large stream, after 
flowing to the S. W., through a widi; valley of 
the Anpalachian System, turns abruptly W. 
near Warrenton, and then passes directly N. 
through Tennessee and Kentucky before it joins 
tlie Ohio. Its valley in Alabama is one of denu- 
dation, and lies 600 feet lower than the ridge 
which, on the S., separates it from the region 
drained by the headwaters of the Black War- 
rior. The Tennessee is navigable al)ove and 
below the Muscle Shoals. These are a series of 
cascades, about 15 mis. long, formed by horizon- 
tal strata of cherty rock, which jut acro.^s the 
valley from S. to N. Their aggregate height is 
85 feet. The Tennessee R. I'eceives notribulary 
of importance in Alabama. 

ClinvUe.— Alabama has a warm, semi-tropical 
climate. The northern part is considerably 
colder than the southern, not only on account 
of its higher latitude, but also of its greater 
ele%-ation. Observations made during 18.57 in 
Auburn, which is situated in the ciMitral part of 
the state, about 60 nils. N. E. of Montgomery, 
gave the following results: Mean annual tem- 
perature, 62.37 deg. ; highest temperature, 93 
de^. (observed on .June 9th, July 12th and Sept. 
istli); lowest temp. 5 d(^g. (oliserved on Jan. 
loth); difference between the highest and low- 
est temp , 87 deg. The mean annual tempera- 
ture in the valley of the Tennessee R. is 60 deg., 
and in the extreme S. about GO deg. Alabama 
lies within the zone of thts trade winds, hence 
easterly winds prevail ; but during the summer, 
when the interior of the great Mississippi basiu

experiences excessive heat, southerlv winds 
blow witli much regularity Ti-om the Gulf far 
Into the laatl. The Bain-fall of the state is con- 
sUlerable. The greater part receives an aver- 
age of 63 inches, which aredistriliutetl through 
the seasons witli tolerable regularity. The 
summer is usually the wettest and the autumn 
the driest season. 

VegetaUon.—Ahibama, belongs to the great 
forest region of the continent. The northern 
part of the state was, and to a great extent is 
still, covered with forests of deciduous trees, 
comprising hiclfory, poplar, chestnut, oak, ma- 
ple, mulberry, etc. In addition to these there 
occur in the southern parts various Icinds of 
magnolia, live oak and other sub-tropical ever- 
green trees, while the extensive tracts of coun- 
try, consisting of drift ridges and sandy plains, 
produoe the pitcli, and other southern pines. 
The river bottoms are hned with cottonwood 
trees and canebrakes. 

Animals. — In the tliinly settled portions of tlie 
state there stiil occur bears, deer, wolves, foxes, 
raccoons and opossums. The rivers abouncl 
with fisii, water turtles, and, in the southern 
parts, alligators. The rattlesnake is frequently 
met with. 

Populalion. — The number of inhabitants in 
1870 was 996,99-2 (521,384 were white and 475,510 
colored). The density of population was 19.G in- 
habitants to the sq. nile. Of the aggregate pop- 
ulation 987,030 were natives of the United States, 
and only 9,962 born in foreign countries. The 
natives included 38,825, one or both parents of 
whom were foreignei-s. Of the foreign inhabi- 
tants, there were born 183 in British America, 
587 in France, 2,479 in (iermany, 1,039 in England, 
3,893 in Ireland, 458 in Scotland, 118 in Italy, 105 
in Sweden and 33 in the West Indies. The pop- 
ulation had steadily increased from 1820 to 1800, 
but from that time to 1806 there was a decrease 
of 3,632 whites and 14,325 colored persons, a total 
decrease of 17,957. The following table shows 
the increase of population from decade to de- 
cade :

Nearly one-half of the population, over 10 
years of age, was engaged in the various occu- 
pations, viz. : 291,629 in agriculture : 42,125 in pro- 
fessional and personal services ; 14,435 in trade 
or transportation, and 17,070 in manufactures 
and mechanical and mining industries. 

Agriculture. — The land in farms amounted in 
1870 to 14,931,178 acres, or 46 per cent, of the en- 
tire area of the state, sliowmg a considerable 
decrease since 1860, when there were over 19,000,- 
000 acres in farms. But the number of farms 
has increased during the same perioii from 55,128 
to 67,383. Large farms of more than 500 acres 
have decreased in number about 50 percent; 
fai'uis of from HO to 100 acres have slightly in- 
creased, while farms below. 50 acres have nearly 
doubled in number. The cash value of farms 
was .$07,739,036, or but little over $1.50 per acre, 
and the estimated value of all farm productions, 
including additions to stock, was $J7,522,335. 

Tl\(! great staple of the state is cotton, of 
which there was produced in 1860, 989,955 bales, 
and in 1870, 429,482 bales. The other farm pro- 
ducts during the latter year were: 1,055,068 bush, 
of wheat ; 18,977 bush, rye ; 16,977,948 bush, corn ; 
770,866 bush, oats ; 162,512 bush. Irish potatoes; 
1,871,.S60 bush, sweet potatoes; 10,613 tons hay; 
3.213,753 lbs of butter ; 381,253 lbs. wool ; 222,945 
lbs. rice, and 152,742 lbs. tobacco. The value of 
all live stock was $-26,690,095, and of agricultural 
implements, $3,286,924. There were in the State 
80,770 horses ; 76,675 asses and mules ; 170,640 
milch cows; 59,176 working oxen; 257,347 other

value of slaughtered animals was $1,670,146. 

Mannfaclure.'s. — According to the Jast cen- 
sus there were 2,188 manufacturing establish- 
ments in the state, employing 8,248 hanils, and 
295 steam-engines, with 7,7io horse-power. The 
total value of manuf. products was $13,040,644, 
which consumed $7,-592,837 of raw materials. 
The state had 13 cotton factories, producing 
goods to the value of $1,088,767. Fourteen es- 
tablishments produced $S9,998 worth of woolen 
goods. Fifty-eight establishments produced 
$172,949 worth of curried leather, and .$239,3S6 
worth of tanned leather. The total value of 
machinery was $571,365 ; of cast-iron, .$3-26,890, 
and of agricultural implements, $10,0.50. Six 
hundred and thirteen flouring and grist mills 
turned out products to the value of $4,8-27,- 
470, and 284 saw-mills sawed lumber to the 
value of $1,3.59,083. The value of cigars and 
manufactured tobacco amounted to $33,850, and 
of brick and tile $164,.530. 

Commerce and Internal Improvem.ent.s. — Ala- 
bama has excellent facilities for foreign and 
domestic commerce Her rivers are navigable 
for upward of 1.500 miles, and Mobile Bay af- 
fords a good outlet for her exports. Ships 
drawing lOi^ feet of water can ascend the bay 
to the wharves of Mobile. The tot.al declared 
value of commodities imported into Mobile, the 
onlv port of entrv in the state, was, in 1871, $1,- 
579,806 ; of domestic exports, $21,874,703, and of 
foreign exports, $1,631. The total numlier of 
vessels was 228, with 23,102 tons of burden. Of 
these 7 were registered, 133 enrolled and 68 
licensed. 

In 1862 Alabama had 805 mis. of railroad ; in, 
1870, 1,,39(), and in 1872 1,671 mis. These roads, 
were the following: Ala. Cen. R. R., 81 nils, 
long; Ala. & Chattanooga R. R , '2H% nils.; E.. 
Ala. & Cincinnati R. R., 25 mis. ; Montgomery 
& Enpala R. R., 80 mis. ; Memphis & Chavlestowii 
R. R., 155 1-5 nils. ; Mobile & Girard R. R., 83; 
mis. ; Mobile & Ohio R. R., 75 mis. ; Nashville &: 
Chattanooga R. R., 26V^ mis. ; New Orleans*; 
Selma R. R., 20 4-5 mis.; Savannah & Mempliis 
R. R., 28 mis.; Selma & Gulf R. R., 40 mis. ;• 
Selma. Rome & Dalton R. R., 171^4 ™ls. ; South 
& North R. R., 115 mis. ; Southwestern R. R., 
of Ga., % mle. ; Western of Ala. R. R., 160}^, 
mis. ; Vicksbnrg & Brunswick R. R. , 21 mis. 

Charitable and Penal Inslilutions. — There is an 
in.sane hospital in Tuscaloosa, which was. 
opened for the reception of patients in. 1861. 
It has accommodations for at least 350 per-, 
sons. The institution for the deaf antl dumb 
at Talladega is also in successful o.peration,, 
and at Mobile there is an asylum for the blind. 
Tlie State Penitentiary at Wetumpka had in 
Nov., 1866, 200 convicts, three-fourths of whom, 
were colored. 

Government. — The Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor, Secretary of State, Treasurer and Attor- 
ney-General are cliosen for two years by the 
ele'ctors of the state. The Auditor is cho-. 
sen for one year. The elections take place on. 
the Tuesday after the first Monday in Novem- 
ber. The House of Representatives must not 
exceed 100 memliers ; the Senate must be not 
less than one-fourth and not more than one- 
third of the number of representatives. Sena^ 
tors must be at least 27 years old ; but any elec- 
tor is eligible as representative. The Constitu- 
tion provides, that all male residents of the- 
state, 21 years old, born in the United States or 
naturalized, who have resided in the state six: 
months preceding an election, shall be citizens 
of Alabama. Temporary absence does not 
cause a forfeiture of citizenship. In 1870 there- 
were in Alabama 202,18'i. male citizens not de- 
prived of sutfrage. 

The Supreme Court consists of a Chief -Justice 
and associate judges, and has appellate juris-. 
diction only. It meets twice a year at the seat 
of government. The- state is .divided intocir,i 



ALABAMA.

cuits of not less than three or more than eight 
counties. A judge is chosen for each circuit, 
who shall, after his election, reside therein. 
Circuit Courts are held twice a year in each 
county. The Court of Chancery "is composed 
of four Chancellors. The judges of the Supreme 
Court receive a salary of $4,000; those of the 
Circuit Courts and the Chancellors. .'i(.J,O0O. All 
the judges of these courts and the Chancellors 
are chosen for terms of 6 years, during which 
thej' cannot hold non-judicial offices of profit 
or trust under the state or the United States. 
The clerk of the Supreme Court is appointed 
by the judges. The Attorney General resides 
at the seat of government, and a solicitor is ap- 
pointed for each county. 

WeaUh and Finances. — The estimated value 
of real and personal estate of Alabama was, 
in ISolt, ^228,204,332 ; in 18(50, .'Jtt5,'2;}7,07S ; and in 
1S70, $201,855,841. Thus it will be seen that the 
wealtli of the state more than doubled during 
the decade from 18.50 to 18i>0; but fell off nearly 
three-flfths during the decade preceding the 
last census. This great decrease is mainly due 
to the emancipation of the slaves ; for the 
assessed value of personal property fell from 
$■277, 164,(573 in 18fi0 to *38,35;1,5.52. IJut the assessed 
value of real estate also decreasecl considerably 
to wit : from $155,034,089 to $117,'2-23,043. 

The total amount of state debt at the close of 
the fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, 1870, was $5,;J82,- 
800 exclusive of the indebtedness to the edu- 
cational fund, of $3,095,210, making a total of 
$8,478,010, for which annual interest was to be 
provided. The total nidebtednessof the coun- 
ties was $1,702,173, and of the cities, towns, etc., 
$3,094,9(;3. The amount of all indebtedness, 
both state and local, was therefore $13,277,14() or 
over six per cent, on the estimated value of the 
real and personal property of the state ; and 
$13.32 to each inhabitant. 

In tlie Auditor's Report for the fiscal year end- 
ing Sept. 30, 1872, the bonded debt amounted to 
$5,061 ,S00 ; educational fund indebtedness, $2,801,- 
633..84; outstanding state certificates, $;396,G00 ; 
outstanding Auditor's warrants, $197,507.71, and 
temporary loan, $i;,000, making the aggregate 
indebtedness, $9,o;;3 4U. Tlie contingent liabili- 
ties, in the form of state bonds for railroad pur- 
, poses, amounted to $17,110,000; which sum is 
partly secured by lands and other securities 
within the control of the state in case of default. 
The Auilitor estimates the direct indebtedness, 
arising from aid granted to railroads not to ex- 
ceed $.3,01)0,000. Should this entire amount be- 
come a burden to the people, the amount of in- 
terest on the total ini.lebte<.lness wouhl not ex- 
ceed $802,788, which could be discharged by a 
tax-levy of 4-10 of one per cent. Add to this 
4-10 of one per cent, for state expenses and 
schools, and % mill tax for sinking fund, then 
the annual ta.x would be 8j^ mills or $1.85 per 
bead of population. 

Education.— '£\vi Constitution provides that 
a state IJoard of Education shall establish 
throughout the state, in each township or otlKsr 
school district, one or more schools, at which all 
the children between the ages of five and twenty 
one years may atteiul free of charge. Nearly 
4,000 public schools were established under this 
proviso during the first scholastic year of 18GS. 
The University of Alabama, located at Tusca- 
loosa, is also placed under the control of this 
board, who, in this respect, act as its '• regents," 
The Medical College of Alabama, located in .Mo- 
bile, and the Law School at Montgomery, which 
were chartered in ISiJO, are branches or depart- 
ments of the University. 

Besides the University, there are three col- 
legiate institutions in Alabama, viz. : Spring 
Hill College (Roman Catholic), in St. Joseph ; 
Howard College (Uaptist), in Marion; ana the 
Emerson Institute in Jlobile. 

The tot;il number of children of school age in 
1870 waa estinuited at 330,000; of whom about 



160,000. or less than one-half, were in the public 
schools. There are no data which show to what 
extent the remaining half enjoy educational ad- 
vantages, or whether tiiey enjoy any. Accord- 
ing to the census reports "there were in 1850, 33,- 
757 white adults in the state, who could neither 
read nor write. In 1800 the class of illiterates 
had incrcasetl to 37,60.5. 

The census reports 89 newspapers, published 
in the state, which have a circulation of 91,165. 
Of these there were 9 dailies, 2 tri-weeklies, 3 
serai-weeklies and 75 weeklies.

A L. ASK A. — PoMi!ioH.— According to the 
treaty with Russia, concluded in 1867, Alaska 
ra^ay be said to extend from the Diomede islands 
in Behring Straits, in N. lat. 66°, \V. long. 168° 50' 
eastward along tlie shore of the Arctic Ocean 
to W. long. 143°, N. lat. 69° 30'; and from the 
Diomede islands soutliward to N. lat. 50°, W. 
iong. 168°, thence eastward to the 143d meridian. 
It is a peninsula, occupying the extreme north- 
western portion of North America, in area 577,- 
390 sq. mis. The shore line is estimated to be 
7,860 statute mis. 

Surface. — The surface of Alaska is broken 
and mountainous. It is traversed by the most 
northern range of the Rocky Mts., and a large 
number of smaller chains intersect it in all di- 
rections. Most of the mountains do not rise 
above three thousand feet in height, but several 
greatly exceed tliis. Mount Fairweather rises 
to 14,768 feet in height, and the volcanoes, Mt. 
'St. Elias, 14,968 feet and llUimano 12,066 feet, rank 
among the loftiest peaks of the continent. But 
little of the country otfers land suitaV)le for 
agriculture, the greater part being rocky and 
sterile, or else swampy. 

Hivers.— The principal river of Alaska is the 
Yukon or Kwitchpak. It enters Behring Sea 
between 64° and 65°, and is navigable for steam- 
boats for near a thousand miUss from its mouth. 
Coppermine, R., also navigable, has its mouth 
about lat. 60°. It is not far from Mt. St. Elias. 
The Steekin or St. Francis falls into the sea 
about 56° N. lat. In the lower part of its course 
it is navigable for about 50 miles. At that dis- 



tance from the sea it forms cataracts and rap- 
ids, above which it again becomes navigable. 

Climate and Productions. — A warm ocean cur- 
rent tiows along the south coast of Alaska, 
very materially modifying the climate from 
that in the same latitmle on' the eastern coast 
of the continent. At Sitka the thermometer 
rarely falls below zero, the mean temperature 
being about 44° Fah. The warm and moist sea 
air meeting with a cold current from the moun- 
tains causes frequent fogs and rains along the 
southern coast. The average rainfall is between 
80 and 90 inches anuuallj\ the months of Sep- 
tember and October being especially wet. It is 
said that about 2.50 days in the year are cloudy 
and rainy. In the northern part of the penin- 
sula this influence is not felt, but as this por- 
tion lies within the Arctic circle, the climate 
is intensely cold, and the brief summer does 
not sufHce to thaw the frozen soil. , 

■ A heavy growth of timber covers the soil on 
the southern sea-board, lofty trees clothing tlie 
mountains to a height of 2,.500 or 3,000 feet. The 
forests consist of Sitka spruce, yellow cedar, 
fir, hemlock, larch, and kindred species. In the 
more northern districts the soil is barren. Ow- 
ing to the constant moisture the cereals do not 
ripen, the potatoes are small and watery, and 
garden vegetables yield but moderately. Cran- 
berries and salmon berries grow wild. 

The wealth of Alaska is in its furs and fish- 
eries. The latter include cod and mackerel, the 
former in great abundance. Seals, bear, deer, 
wolves, and other wild animals are numerous 
on the shores and in the interior. The seals 
afford a profitable source of revenue in their 
oil and skins, but the laud animals are little 
hunted by the whites, owing to the impassable 
nature of the soil. 

Population.— The Indians of Alaska include 
the Eskimo along the northern shore, and the 
Kolusch and Kenai along the southern. The 
white inhabitants, exclusive of the military, 
numbered, in 1870, 461 souls. Tbey are princi- 
pally engaged in the fisheries and fur trade. 
The natives are without ambition, and have 
been contaminated by the intemperate and 
depraved habits of rnaiiy of the white resi- 
dents. Sitka, on the island of New Archangel, 
is the principal settlement. 

Hislori/. — Alaska was discovered by the navi- 
gator Vitus Behring in 1741, from "whom are 
named Behring Straits and Behring Sea. He 
took possession of it for the Russian govern- 
ment, in whose employ he was at the time. In 
1778 Captain Cook sailed along the western 
coast as far north as ley Cape, in lat. 70° 20' N. 
In the year 1799 the region was granted to the 
Russian-American Trading Company, who es- 
tablished posts at Sitka and elsewhere. Propo- 
sitions for its sale to the U. S. were made in 
1866, and the purchase was effected the follow- 
ing year for $7,200,000 in gold. Our government 
took formal possession in October, 1867, since 
which date it ha.s been under the charge of our 
military authorities stationed at Sitka.

Appalachian Mountains, the great belt of 
highlands, occupying the eastern part of the 
United States, and extending from the shores 
Of the Gulf of St. Lawrence to northern Ala- 
bama and Georgia. They are often called Alle- 
ghany Mts., but improperly, for this name ap- 
plies only to some of the numerous mountain 
ranges of which the system is composed. 

The Appalachian system determines the di- 
rection of the Atlantic coast line,whieli in gen- 
eral runs parallel to the inflections of its chains 
with remarkable regularity. It is composed of 
a series of uniform folds or chains, often pre- 
Benting the appearance of continuous walls, 
and but seldom varied bj- any peaks or crags. 
The extreme northern and southern portions, 
however, are diversified and much complicated 
in their structure. On the E. it is bounded by 

6 



the coast plain, which intervenes between its 
base and the shore line, varying in width from 
about .50 mis. in New England to 2.50 mis. in 
North and South Carolina. In the W. it expands 
into an undulating table-land, gentlv desoi-nd- 
ing toward the great central plain of the Missis- 
sippi and St. Lawrence, and occupying large 
portions of Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and 
Alabama. Thus the traveler who traverses 
the Appalachians from the Atlantic to the In- 
terior first encounters a low plain gradually 
ascending to the foot of the mountains, then a 
belt of chains and ridges with intervening val- 
leys, and at last rolling plateaus slightlv in- 
clined toward the N. W., and cut with deep 
transverse valleys. 

A conspicuous "feature of the Appalachians is 
the large central valley, which passes through 
the entire system from N. to S., called by Mr. 
Rogers, formerly state geologist of Pa., the 
Great Appalachian Valley. In the N. it is oc- 
cupied by Lake Champlaiii and the Hudson R. ; 
in Pa. it bears the name of Cumberland Valley ; 
in Va. it is the Shenandoah Vallev, and still fur- 
ther S. it is the Valley of East Teiinessee, which 
is drained by the upper course of the Tennessee 
R. The chain which borders this great valley 
on the E. extends without much interruption 
from Vermont to Alabama. In Vermont it 
bears the name of Green Mts. ; in New Vork, 
that of the Highlands ; in Pennsylvania and. 
Maryland, that of the South Mts. ;*in Virginia, 
the Blue Ridge ; and on the boundary of N. Car- 
olina and Tennessee it is known by local names, 
as the Iron Mts., Smoky Mts., and Uiiaka Range.^ 
The highest ranges of the entire Appalachiaa. 
s\-steni are outlying groups of this great chain.. 
These are the AVliite Mts. of N. IL, situated E. 
of the Green Mts., and separated from them by 
the valley of the Connecticut R. ; and the Blue 
Ridge of N. C, which inosculates with the 
Virginia Blue Ridge, and from which a series 
of spurs extend toward the Great Unaka Range, 
such as the lofty Black Mts. and others. 

W. and N. W. of the great vallev there extends- 
a zone of chains, separated by narrow valleys, 
which zone greatly varies in width in the (lif- 
erent parts of the system and the number of 
chains which compose it. To this zone belong 
the Adirondack Mts. of N. Y. ; the numerous, 
ranges of Central Pa., as the Blue IMts., Tusca 
rora Mts., Alleghany Mts., Laurpl Ridge, Chest- 
nut Ridge and many others of Pennsylvania ; 
the Shenandoah Mts., Great North Bits., Alle- 
ghany Mts., Greenbrier Mts., Gauley Mts., etc., 
of Virginia ; and lastly, the Cumberland Mts. or 
Plateau of I\entucky and Tennessee. 

The following are the principal peaks of the- 
Appalachians : 1. In the White Mts. of N. H. : 
Mt. Washington, 6,288 ft.; Mt. Adams, 5,794 ft.; 
Mt. Jefferson, 5,714 tt.; Mt. Clay, 5,553 ft., and Mt. 
JIadison, 5,365ft. 2. In the Green Mts. of Vt.: 
Equinox, Mt., 3,872 ft.; Shrewsbury Pk., 3,845 ft.; 
Killington Pk., 4,221 ft.; Mt. Mansfield, 4,430 ft.; 
Camel Hump, 4.088 ft.; Mt. Lincoln, 4,078 ft. 3. In 
the Adirondacks: Mt. Tahawus or Mt. Marcv, 
.5,379 ft. 4. In the Blue Ridge of Va. : Peaks of 
Otter, nearly 4,000 ft. 5. In the Blue Ridge of N. 
C. : High Pinnacle, 5,701 ft.; Rockv Knobs, 5,080> 
ft.; Grav Beard, 5,448 ft. 6. In the Black Mts. of 
N. C: Mt. Mitchell, 6,.5S2 ft.; Mt. Gibbs, 6,.591 ft.; 
Sugarloaf, 6,403 ft.; Black Dome or Mitchell's 
Pk. or Clingman's Pk., 6,707 ft.; Balsam Cone or 
Mt. Guyot, 6,671 ft.; Mt. Sandoz, 6,619 ft.; Rocky 
Tail Pk., 6,488 ft.; Bowlin's Pyramid, 6,348 ft.,. 
and Blackstock Knob, 6,380 ft. 

Notwithstanding the nniformitv and conti- 
nuity of the Appalachian chains, gaps and de- 
pressions are numerous and render the system- 
on the whole easy of access, so that it was possi- 
ble to construct several railroads across the 
different ridges without encountering very 
serious engineering d,ifficulties. But there i» 
only one valley which cuts through the entire 
system from tlie coast plain to the interior^ 



APALACHICOLA BAY.

APPOMATTOX. 



Tliis is the vallev of the Hudson R. with its two 
branches, the valley of Luke Champlain and 
of the Mohawk 11. A rise of the ocean of hut 
140 ft. would join the Bav of New York with the 
St. Lawrence K., fill up the valley of the Hud- 
son and Cluunplain and convert New England 
with New Brunswick into an island ; and a fur- 
ther rise of .500 ft. would separate the whole vast 
system from the continent and transform it into 
three separate islands: the New England re- 
gion, the Adirondacks. and t lie Southern region. 
The mineral wealth of the Ai)i)alachiansis very 
great. Productive heds of liituminous coal oc- 
cupy th(! entire middle section of Pa., W. of the 
Alleghany Mts., and extend to central Ohio and 
the hank's of the Tennessee K. in Alabama. 
Eastern Pennsylvania contains rich anthracite 
coal mines, and the mountain chain east of the 
Cireal Valley abounds in magnetic and other ex- 
cellent iron'ores. Zinc oresare mined in Sussex 
CO., N. J., and Northampton co.. Fa. Gold is 
found in Nova Scotia, Virginia, the Carolinas, 
Tennessee, Alabama autl Georgia. \'alual)le 
cojjper de])o.sits occur in the states of Virginia, 
Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. Petroleum, 
the product of the decomposition of subter- 
ranean organic substances, seems to exist in 
inexhaustible quantities in Western Pennsyl- 
vania; and building materials, such as gi-anite, 
ditferent kinds of marble, sandstone, etc., are 
found everywhere.

ARIZONA, a territory in the south-western 
part of the United States, is bounded on the N. 
by Utah and Nevada ; on the E. by New Jlexico ; 
on the W. by California and Nevada, and on the 
S. by the republic of Mexico. It extends from 
109° to 114° 47' ey," long. W. of Greenwich, and 
from 31° 19' 24" to 37° N. lat. The Colarado R. 
forms part of the western boundary. Arizona 
has an area of 113,91{) sq. mis., or 7'2,90(),240 acres, 
being nearly three times as large as the state 
of New York. 

The surface of Arizona consists of elevated 
table-lands, which are ci-ossed by mountain 
i-anges trending from N. W. to S. E. nearly par- 
allel to each otiier. The northern part of the 
territory, being occupied by the \Vhite Mesa, 
has probably an average elevation above the 
sea of 8,000 feet. It is an arid region, cut up by 
deep canyons, and joins the Colorailo Plateau 
further S., upon wliich rise the isolated and lofty 
peaks known as Mt. Kcndrick, San Francisco 
Mt.. Mt. Sitgreaves, and Bill Williams Mts. 
From this cluster of peaks extend theMogoUon 
Mts. in a south-easterly direction, and join the 
Sierra Blanca or White Mts. of New Mexico. 
The next range consists of the San Francisco 



Mts., lying W. of the river of the same name, 
which ioins the Rio Salado, and the Piiialerio 
Mta.. which are intersected bv the valley of the 
Gila R. The north-western section of Arizona 
is traversed by the Aquarius Mts., the Cerbeat 
Range, the Black Jits., and the Mohave Mts. 
The Granite Mts., Eagle Tail 3Its.. and Dome 
Mts. occuny the region between the lower 
cour.seof tiie GilaR.and the Bill Williams Fork. 
The Peloncello Mts. lie partly in New jMexico 
and partly in south-eastern Arizona. This is 
a tine raiige, abounding in passes. The most 
northerlv is Doubtful Pass, and eight mis. S. is 
Stean's Pass. In leaving the Peloncello Mts. 
the traveler crosses the V'alle de Sauz (or Wil- 
low Valley), which is traversed by the Rio San 
Domingo," and tlien encounters the Chiric;ilini 
Mts., which form a southerly prolongation of 
the Pinaleno ]Mts., and appear'also to be continu- 
ous with the Sierra Madre proper of Mexico. 
The next two ranges he meets are the Sierra 
Calitroand the Sierra Santa Catarina, which are 
separated one from another by the Valley of 
the Rio San Pedro. The' last range is suc- 
ceeded by an extensive plateau, parts of Avhich 
are covered with salt incrustations, and beyond 
this follow lower chains, as the A.jo Mts., Cabe- 
za Prieta Mts., and Sierra de la Gila. 

Riverx.—The principal river is the Colorado 
of the West, which traverses the northern part 
of the Territory, and then forms the western 
boundarv, separating it from Nevada, California 
and the Mexican stateof Lower California. This 
large stream tlows within Arizona through 
the famous (irand Canyon, a stupendous fissure 
with perpcnulicular walls rising from .tOO to 
1,500 feet. The Black Canyon, below Callville, 
lies partlv in Nevada and partly in Arizona. 
It resemb"les the Grand Canyon, tliough inferior 
in length as well us in depth. The other rivers 
of tlu^ Territorv are tributaries of the Colora- 
do. The Flax ll., or Little Colorado, traverses 
the lofty plateau which occupies the north- 
eastern section, and flows parallel to the Mo- 
goilon Mts. It rises in the White ]\Its., near the 
boundary of New Mexico, and receives the 
Zuni R., the Puerco of the West, the Cotton- 
wood J'ork, and numerous small streams, which 
drain the eastern slopes of the Mogollon Range. 
The lower course of the Flax R. passes through 
a deep canyon, which joins the Grand Canyon 
of the parent stream. The Bill Williams Fork, 
another affluent of the Colorado, rises in the 
Aquarious Mts., flows S. to the junction with 
the Santa Maria R., and then AV. The Gila R. 
rises in New Mexico, and pursues a general 
westerlv direction to its junction with the Col- 
orado, near Arizona City. Its southern afflu- 
ents are the Rio San Domingo, the Rio San 
Pedro, which receives the Aravaypa, and the 
Rio Santa Cruz. Its northern are the Rio Na- 
troso, Rio Prieto, Rio Bonito, Rio San Carlos, 
ami the Rio Salado, or Rio San Francisco. The 
last named is the largest of these streams, and 
with its numerous tributaries drains a large 
area of central Arizona west of the MogoUoa 
jAIts. Turkey Cr. and the Rio Hassaya, which 
flow through valleys west of the San Francisco, 
terminate in the arid plains, and do not reach 
the Gila. None of these rivers are navigable, 
but they are important, as the country depends 
upon tlieir waters for irrigation and mining. 

Climate. Soil, and Ver/etution.—Thfi climate of 
Arizona is salubrious and pleasant, except in 
the lower sections near the Gila and Colorado 
rivers, where the summers are often excessively 
hot. The rain-falls occur in June, July, August 
and September. During the rest of t he year the 
necessary supply of water for farming has to be 
drawn from the numerous streams, which are 
fed by never-failing springs and the melting 
snow "in the mountains. 

Extensive tracts, adapted to agriculture, are 
found in all the river valleys. Such are several 
sectious of the valley of the Colorado. The 



ARIZONA.

ARKANSAS. 



valley of the Pan Perlro, more than a hundred 
miles in length, is especiiiUy jiroductive. Tim- 
ber, though not abundant, is found in sufficient 
quantities for home consumption. 

In tlie northern part of the territory exten- 
Bive pine forests cover the principal mountain 
chains; and tlie river bottoms and valleys 
everywhere furnish mesquite, cotton wood, wal- 
nut, oak, elm, ash, etc. Many sections of the 
table-lands proiluce an abundance of nutritive 
grasses, and are well adapted to grazing. 

Population. —ArizowA was orj^anized as a ter- 
ritory by act of Congress of 1 eliruary '24, IStiS ; 
and it had in 1870 a population of 9,658, of whom 
3,849 were natives of the United States, and 
5,809 born in foreign countries ; mostly in Mex- 
ico (4,339). The males, 0,887 in number, greatly 
exceed the females, 2,771. The number of 
whites was 9,581 ; of colored persons, 20; of 
Chinese, 20; and of taxed Indians, 31. Those 
Indians who maintain tribal relations, and are 
not taxed, are estimated to number 32,052, of 
whom 27,700 lead the life of nomads, and 4,352 
live on reservations and at agencies. Tlie 
Maricopas, Vumas, Papagos and Pimas belong 
to the latter class and live in villages, produc- 
ing large crops of wheat, corn, melons and 
beans. They are friendly and hospitable, 
whereas the nomadic Apaches are hostile, and 
refuse reconciliation with the whites. Their 
depredations have seriously retarded the 
growth of the settlements. 

In agriculture there were engaged 1,285 per- 
sons ; in professional and personal services, 
3,115; in trade anil transportation, 591 ; and in 
manufactures and mechanical and mining in- 
dustries, 1,093. Tlius the aggregate of persons 
following some useful occupation amounted to 
6,030 persons, a very large proportion in the 
total number of inhabitants. 

Agriculture is carried on to a very limited 
extent. There were in 1870 but 14,585 acres of 
improved land, and 7,222 acres of unimproved 
land in all the farms of the territory; and the 
cash value of farms amounted to $161,340, or 
$7.40 per acre. The estimated value of farm 
productions, including betterments, was $277,- 
998. The productions includeii 27,052 bush, of 
Bpring wheat, 32,041 bush, of corn, 55,077 bush, 
of barley, 3,417 bush, of peas and beans, and 
14,500 lbs. of cheese. The value of all live stock 
was $143,996. There were 335 horses, 401 mules 
and asses, 938 milch cows, 587 working oxen, 
3,607 other cattle, 803 sheep and 720 swine. 

Manufactures — The manufacturing industry 
of Arizona is inconsiderable. There were 18 
manufacturing establishments, employing 84 
hands and 5 steam-engines, with 80 liorse- 
power, turning out protlucts to the value of 
$185,410, which consisted chiefly of flour, feed, 
lumber and cheese. 

Mining. — The minei'al wealth of Arizona is 
unquestionably very great, and embraces gold, 
silver, copper, lead, iron, tin, nickel, platinum, 
cinnabar and coal. i?ut the unsettled condi- 
tion of the territory, Indian depredations, and 
difficulty of access, have thus far prevented the 
development of this branch of industry. The 
Hintzeliuau or Cerro Uordo mine, 24 inls. VV. of 
Tubac, is the most imi)ortant, and yields rich 
silver ore, assaying over $1,000 to the ton. The 
Mo wry mine, near the Lanvita valley, within 
10 nils, of the Mexican boundary, produces 
argentiferous galena, impregnated with arsenic. 
Other mines are tlie Santa Ilita, Salero, Caliuabi, 
and San Pedro. 

There are no railways in Arizona, and the 
roads in the wot season are very bad. The 
transportation is chiefly by pack-niules. 

Wealth and Taxaiiun.~T\\e true value of real 
and personal estate was $3,440,791. The assessed 
value was but $1,410,295. which included $638,355, 
for real estate, and $871,940 for personal prop- 
erty. The taxation, not national, amounted to 
$31,323. 



Education. — The number of children between 
6 and 21 years of age was, in 1870, 1,923 ; yet 
there were no schools in the territory. The 
legislature of 1871 passed a law setting aside 10 
cents on each $100 of taxable property, and 
gave authority to the several boards and super- 
visors to levy additional taxes suflicient to 
maintain a free school in each school tlistrict. 
The governor was made e.v-oflfiico superinten- 
dent of public instruction, and the judges of 
probate were made county superintendents. 

One newspaper is published in each of the 
following towns: Tucson, Arizona city and 
Prescott. 

Government. — The territory was organized 
February 24, 1803, and the executive branch coli- 
consists of a Governor, Secretary of State, a 
Treasurer and Beceiver-Cieneral, and an Audi- 
tor. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court and Probate Courts. The Chief Justice 
and the two Associate Judges composing the 
Supreme Court are appointed by the President. 
This court holds one session annually at Tuc- 
son, commencing the fourth Monday of Oc- 
tober. 

Arizona is divided into the following five 
counties : Mohave, Pah Ute, Pima, Yavapai 
and Yuma. Tucson is the capital of the terri- 
tory.

ARKANSAS is bounded on the N. by Mo., on 
the VV. by the ind. Ter. aiul Tex., and on the S. by 
La. The E. boundary is formed by the Missis- 
sippi R., which separates it from Miss, and 
Tenn. It extends from 33° N. lat. to 36° 30' N. 
lat., and from 89° 32' W. long, to 94° 38' W. long. 
The greatest width from N. to S. is 241 mis. and 
from E. to W. 285 mis. It has an area of 52,198 
sq. mis. or 33,406,720 acres. 

History. — Arkansas, so called from the Akansa 
tribe of Indians, was originally embraeetl in 
the territory of Louisiana, and was purchased 
in 1803 from the French government by Thomas 
Jetferson. In 1812 it was separated from the 
parent colony and organized under territorial 
government. It was atlinitted as a state in 1836. 
Surface. — The E. part of the state, embrac- 
ing a portion of the Mississippi Valley, consists 
chiefly of a rich alluvial plain, which is much 
cut up by " sloughs," lagoons, and swamps. 
About 100 mis. from the Mississippi R. the 
ground begins to rise, and toward the W. be- 
comes hilly and broken. The Ozark Mts. oc- 
cupy the N. VV. part of the state. The various 
ranges of liills, which trend E. and VV., N. of the 
Arkansas R. valley, are collectively called the 
Boston Mts. The Petit Jean range accompanies 
the southern bank of -the Arkansas R. The 
Crowiej' Ridge enters the state from the N. and 
forms the water-shed between the attluents of 
the St. Francis II. and those of the Cache R. It 
terminates 4 mis. W. of Helena in Phillips co. 

Minerals and Mineral Springs. — Arkansas 
possesses an abundance of mineral resources. 



ARKANSAS.

ARKANSAS. 



Zinc ores are found in Lawrence, Marion, and 
Arkansas cos., and iron ia nearly all the hilly 
portions of the state. Lead is also abundant, 
and copper occurs in Carroll, Fulton, Independ- 
ence. Izard, Lawrence, Marion and Pulaski cos. 
A ridt^e in Hot Springs co. is made up of the 
most beautiful variety of novaeulite, or Ai-- 
kansas whetstone. It is of very line texture, 
consists mainly of pure silica, and is considered 
the best in the world. I'orcelain earth or 
kaolin has been discovered in some wells in 
Pulaski CO., IS feet below the general surface 
of tlie country, and is believeci to extend over 
a considerable area. Gi-anite, marble, freestone 
anti gypsum are abundant, and coal, both bitu- 
minous and anthracite, is found in many locali- 
ties. 

Arkansas abounds in mineral springs. Sul- 
phur and chalybeate springs occur in M*asliing- 
ton. Van IJuren and Crawford cos. The cele- 
brated Hot Springs in the county, wliich de- 
rives from them its name, are among the niost 
renuirkable phenomena of our country. They 
Issue from a steep bank nearly iOO feet above 
the Hot Spring Cr., more than 100 in numl^er, 
and of temperatures varying from 140° to 150"^. 
A chemical analysis in t). D. Owen's report 
proves them to contain free carbonic acid, 
magnesia, soda, potash, chlorine and sulphuric 
acitl. Their medical A'alue, however, is chiefly 
attributed to their high temperature. 

The mammoth spring in Fulton co. issues 
from a large cavernous opening, 40 yards in cir- 
cumference, and boils up with a constant flovv, 
at the rate of 8,000 Imrrels per minute. It atfords 
valuable water-power. 'The water contains 
such a large amount of carbonic acid, that its 
surface is in a continuous state of eflei'vesceuce 
or bubbling. The temperature is 00° Fahr. 

Jiivers.—'i'be numerous streams of Arkansas 
belong to the system of the Mississippi K., 
■which washes the eastern shore for a distance 
of more than 400 mis. The Arkansas K. inter- 
sects the state from W. to. E. and empties into 
the Mississippi near Napoleon. It is uavigal)le 
during the greater part of the vear. It has 
been leveed on both banks from tine Blutt", in 
Jellerson co., to its mouth ; and the Mississippi 
has been leveed thence southward beyond the 
liuiits of the state. The soil thus reclaimed is 
exceedingly rich and has become very valuable. 
The artiuents of the Arkansas in this state are, 
Mulberry K., Big Piney K., Illinois IJayou, 
Uavon Metoe and Fourehe laFave. 

I'he White li. rises in the Ozark Mts. in Madi- 
son CO., flows through southern Missouri, re- 
enters Arkansas in Carroll co., and then flows 
S. E. to Elizabeth in Jackson co. Here it 
turns to the S. and at last divides intq two 
branches, sending one into the Arkansas and 
the other into the Mississippi. Its course is 
very crooked. The Butfalo Fork and Little 
Red K. enter into the White K. from the W., 
the Black U., Cache K. and Bayou Ueview from 
the N. The St. Francis li. enters the state from 
the N., flows through the north-eastern coun- 
ties and empties into the Mississippi, about a 
niile above the village of Sterling. 

The Ued K. flows through south-western Ar- 
kansas. The Washita II., its tributary, the Sa- 
line K., anil the Bayou IJartholemew are the 
largest streams which tlrain the state S. of the 
Arkansas li. Nearly all the rivers mentioned 
above are navigable for considerable distances, 
e.vcept during the summer months, when they 
become greatly reduceil by excessive evapora- 
tion. 

Climate. — .Arkansas has a mild climate. The 
mean annual temperature in the northern part 
is about oS-J, in the middle 61° and in the south- 
ern 61°. Observations near Little Hock give 
the following results: Mean annual tempera- 
ture, IJ:;°, (JiJ ; mean temperature of winter, 4J°, 
8i and of summer, 7!)°, titi; highest temperature 
Observed, yj°, aud lowest temperature observed, 



8° . The north-western part of the state being 
the most elevated part, has also the coolest cli- 
mate, the soutli-eastern the hottest. The low 
alluvial bottom lands of the Mississippi havo 
an unhealthy climate, while tlie far largest por- 
tion of the state is free from eiidemic diseases. 
Tlie rainfall varies from 55 inches in tlie south- 
eastern parts, to 50 inches in the middle, and 40 
inches in the north-western. 

Vegetulion. — Arkansas is mostly covered with, 
pine torests, although tliere are some prairies of 
considerable extent. Grand Prairie, between 
the Arkansas aud White Ks., is nearly 100 mis. 
long and 30 mis. broad. The forests of the 
hilly parts of the state consist of oak, maples, 
hicicoiy and other species of deciduous trees, 
while the large rivers are fringed with broail 
belts of dense cotton-wood, cypress and guiu 
trees. In the southern parts of the state piiio 
forests predominate. 

Animals. — Arkansas still abounds iu wild ani- 
mals. The bear, ileer, wolf, wild cat, raccoon, 
etc., occur frequently in the forests. The buf- 
falo, herds of which foi-merlj' roamed over the 
prairies, is now but rarely met with. The rat- 
tl«-snake and the moccasin snake are quite 
common. The streauis abound in lish. 

I'opuUUion. — In 1S70 Arkansas had a popula- 
tion of 484,471. The density of population was, 
therefore, 9.'2S inhabitants to the sq. ml. The 
following table gives the total population from 
decade to decade : 

Inc. in 
per cent. 

1S20 14,255 

1830 30,388 112.91 

1840 97,574 221.09 

1850 209,897 115.1-i 

18U0 435,450 107.46 

1870 484,471 11.2« 

The greatest increase took place during the 
decaile from 1830 to 1840 ; the smallest during 
the last decade, which includes the four yeaid 
of the civil war. 

Of the total population there were 362,115 
whites, and 122,169 colored ; or 74.74 per cent, of 
the former, and 25.26 per cent, of the latter. By 
far the largest part of the population was 
native born, t6 wii. : 479,445 ; anil only 5,026 were 
foreign born, of whom 342 were born in British 
America ; 98 in China ; 55 in Denmark ; 236 iu 
France ; 1,562 in Germany ; 526 in England ; 1,428 
in Ireland ; 150 in Scotland ; 71 in Holland ; 30 ia 
Italy ; 134 in Sweden, anil 104 in Switzerland, 
The number of the blind was 333 ; of the deaf 
and dumb, 265 ; of the insane, 161, anil of the 
idiotic, 289 

Occupations. — The population over 10 years of 
age numbered 341,737, and 135,949 of these were 
engaged in the various useful occupations, to 
wit : in agriculture, 109,310 : in professional and 
personal services, 14,877 ; in trade and transpor- 
tation, 5,491, and in manufactures, and mechani- 
cal and mining pursuits, 6,271. 

Agriculture. — Of the total area of the state 
(33,406,720 acres) only 7,597,296 acres, or 22.7 per 
cent., were in farms, showing a decrease since 
1860 of 1,886,410 acres. The improved lauds 
amounted to 1,859,821 acres, anil the woodland 
anil unimproved land in farms to 5,737,475 acres. 
The number of farms, however, has increased 
from 39,004 in 1860, to 49,424 in 1870, showing that 
the average size of farms is considerably less 
at present than It was before the emancipation 
of the slaves. 

The cash value of farms in 1870 was $40,029,693. 
or $5.28 per acre, anil the estimated value of all 
farm productions, including additions to stock, 
was $40,701,699. 

The staple ijroduet of the state is cotton 
which yielded, in 1860, 367,393 bales, and in 1870 
247,968 bales. The other agricultural products 
were: ludian-eoru, 13,382,145 bush. ; wheat, 741 - 
736 bush. ; rye, 27,645 bush. ; oats, 528,777 bush, j 
Irish pot's, 422,196 bush. ; sweet pot's, B90,ti3l

Tlie value of live stock was $17.'222,.5f)6 ; and of 
agncultuiul implements, $2,-237,40'J. Tliere were 
in the state 92,013 horses ; 39,202 mules and

193,5S9 head of other cattle ; 161,077 sljeep, and 
841,129 swine. The value of slaughtered ani- 
mals was $3,843,923. 

Mining. — The Spadra Coal and Iron Compa- 
ny own 1,585 acres of land on the Arkansas U., 
In Johnson co., underlaid by a bed of supe- 
rior coal. The company design to erect works 
for the redaction of the iron ore on their prop- 
erty. The American Zinc Company are in suc- 
cessful operation on a tract of 2,000 acres in 
Sharp CO. They have erected buildings and 
machinery, and begun to ship zinc and copper 
ore. The Ouita Coal Company are working a 
bed of coal in Pope co., 80 mis. from Little 
Kock. The coal fields of the state are as ex- 
tensive as those of Pa., and will be a source of 
wealth, j'et awaiting development. 

3fanufaclure-i.—Av\iAnHixs hjis aljundant water- 
power, cheap labor, and illimitable quantities 
of the raw material entering into the thou- 
sands of manufaT3tured products consumed by 
a civilized people. But thus far this business 
pursuit is in its infancy. The census reports 
1,079 establishments, "whieli employed 3,206 
hands, 25(isteaTn-engincs with 6,101 horse-power; 
and j'ielding products to the value of §4,629,234. 
The principal articles were: cotton goods, 
$22,5152; woollen goods, $78,690 ; curried leather, 
$40,493; tanned leather, $42,.')28; machinery, $17,- 
000 ; cast-iron, $10,000 ; agricultural implements, 
$12,000; flour and feed, $1,670,416; sawed lumber. 
$1,344,403; chewing tobacco, $5,800; cigars, $14,- 
000 ; bricks and tiles, $41,000. 

Inlernal Improvements and Co7nmerce. — Arkan- 
sas has considerable river trade, exporting the 
surplus Of agricultural productions eliieny to 
New Orleans, and importing the commodities 
required for home consumption. The large 
rivers of the state alTord over 1,000 mis. of navi- 
gable water-ways. 

In 1862 Arkansas had 88 m.ls. of railroads ; in 
1872, 258 mis. The roads are as follows: The 
Memphis & Little Kock K. R., from Memphis, 
Tenn., to Little Rock, 131 mis., is doing a pav- 
ing business; the, Little Rock & Fort Smith 
R. R., from the capital to the western part of 
the state, .iO mis. in operation and (!0 mis. more 
graded ; the Little Rock. Pine KlutlA New Or- 
leans II. II., 20 mis. of track laid and ii-on pur- 
chased for 40 mis. more ; the Mississippi, Oua- 
chita & Red River R.R., from Eunice to Mis- 
sissippi K., 42 mis. completed and 20 mis. more 
graded : Arkansas Central R. R., from Helena, 
on the Mississippi, to Aberdeen, tlience to Lit- 
tle Rock, anil thence due west, with a branch 
from Helena to Pine Blutf, 40 mis. completed 
and 110 mis. remaining under contract; the 
Kansas City & Fort Smith R. R., from Fort 
Smith due N., believed to be completeil in 1873 ; 
the Cairo & Fulton R. R., from Cairo.. 111., to 
Pocahontas, .Jacksonporl and Little Rock, and 
thence 8. W. through the state, under contract 
to be flnished to Fulton by Jan. 1, 1871, and the 
Memphis & Kansas K. R., from Memphis, Tenn., 
through Jacksonport, Hatesville and Yellville 
to Springlield, Mo., is under contract, and 
crosses the state from N. E. to S. W., connecting 
■with the two lines aljove named at Little Rock. 
The Helena & Iron Mt. K. R. will pass through 
eastern Arkansas from S. to N., intersecting the 
Memphis & Little Rock R. R. at Madison. 

WeaUh and Finances. -Tlie estimated value 
of real and personal proi>orty was in 18.50, $39,- 
Wl,025; in 1860, $219,25J,473, and in 1870, $156,- 
894,691. Since 1860 the wealth of the state has 
diminished $62,861,72.8, or nearlv 29 per cent. The 
assessed value of real estate in 1870 was$i3,102,- 
304, and of porsoual estate $31,426,539. In 1860 



the former was $63,245,740, and the latter $116,- 
956,590. Thus, while the assessed value of real 
estate was a trifle greater in 1870 than in 1860, 
the value of personal estate fell otf nearly three- 
fourths during this decade, a decrease "mainly 
due to the abolition of slavery. 

The total public debt of Arkansas (not na- 
tional) was in 1870 (at the end of the month of 
June), $4,151,152. Of this amount the state debt 
was $3 459,.5.57 ; the aggregate deljt of the coun- 
ties, $.536,649, and of the towns, cities, etc. ,$15 1,946. 

i?d(/ca^ion— According to the census 'of 1860 
there were in Arkansas four colleges with 225 
students, but the war interrupteil all educa- 
tional labors, and none of these colleges are 
now in operation. The constitution provides 
that the General Assembly shall establisii and 
maintain free schools. It further provides for 
a State University with an agricultural de- 
partment. The State Board consists of a State 
Superintendent and ten District Superintend- 
ents. But it seems that the etlorts to establish 
public schools have been thus far but moder- 
ately successful. The free school system, how- 
ever, is attracting notice and meets with favor 
from the people. 

The numl)er of school children in 1869 was esti- 
mated at 1.80,000, a1)0ut 100,000 of whom were con- 
nected with the schools. 

The Arkan.sas Institute for the education of 
the blind, founded I2 3'ears ago, and the Arkan- 
sas Deaf and Mute Institute,'1foanded two years 
ago, are in successful operation. Both are 
located at Little Rock. 

Government.— Tha GQvernor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, 
Attorney-General and Superintendent of Pub- 
lic Schools, are chosen by the qualifled elec- 
tors of the state for a term of four years. The 
House of Representatives consists of 82 mem- 
bers chosen for two years, and the Senate of 
24 members chosen for four years. The Legis- 
lature meets every two years on the flrst Mon- 
day of January. 

All male persons, born in the United States, 
or naturalized, or having declared their inten- 
tion to become citizens of the United Stat.iS, 
who are 21 years old and upward, shall have 
resided in the state for 6 months next oreced- 
ing an election, and are at the time actual resi- 
dents of the county in which they ofler to vote, 
are electors. 

The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Jus- 
tice and four Associate Justices. It has appel- 
late jurisdiction and the supervision of all in- 
ferior courts. It holds annually two terms. 
The judges of the Supreme Court are appointed 
by the Governor for 8 years. 

The Circuit Courts have original jurisdiction 
over criminal cases not otherwise provided for 
by law. The Judges and Attorneys of the Dis- 
trict Courts are appointed for four years by the 
Governor, with the advice and consent of the 
Senate.

Arkansas River, one of the largest tribu- 
taries of the Mississippi, rises in the Rocky 
Mts., in 3i)° -23' iSr. lat. and iai° 20' long. W. of 
Greenwich. It first flows S. in a narrow valley 
between two mountain chains, west of the 
Middle Park, in Colorado, and then turns E., 
passing tlirough the mountains, which extend 
between the San Luis Park and the South 
Park. Emerging from the Rocky Mts., it 
traverses the barren plains of E. Colorado 
and Kansas. Kear Fort Dodge it deflects to 
the N. as far as Fort Zarab, whence it curves 
to tlie S. E., and passes through the N. E. 
part of Indian Ter. At Fort Smith it enters 
Arkansas, and divides it into two nearly 
equal sections, and at last joins the Missis- 
sippi near the town of Napoleon, in lat. 33° 22' 
N. Its entire length probably exceeds 2,300 
mis.; for (iOO mis. it is over half a uile. wide. 
During the summer months it is too sliallow 
to be navigable, but during the greater part 
of the year it floats steamboats for upward 
of 700 nils, above its moulh. The dillerence 
between high and low water is 2.i feet.

ner of Saratoga and St. Paul streets, is occu- 
pied conjointly by the Mercantile Library 
Association (26,000 volumes), the Baltimore

Historical Society. The Peabody Institute, 
founded by Geo. Peabody, is designed for 
literarj'' and scientific purposes, and has 
already a well-selected library of 47,000 vol- 
umes, to which additions of from 3,000 to 4,000 
volumes are made annually. The splendid 
eharitips recently left the city by the late 
John Hopkins, to found Hospital, Scnool, 
Park, etc., amounted to $7,000,000 — the most 
muniflcent gift ever m.ade to an American city. 
There are thirty-three papers published in 
the city, of which the following are the prin- 
cipal dailies and weeklies : " Sun," " Gorman 
Correspondent," " American and Commercial

recently built, is one of the largest in the 
country. Front Street Theatre Comique is

*Boston, city, capital of Mass. and co. seat of 
Sutfolk CO.." is situated at the western ex- 
trendty of Boston B., an extension of Massa- 
chustftts B., in 42° 21' 22" N. lat. and 71° 4' 9" 
long. W. of Greenwich. The city comprises 
five sections : Boston i)roper, situated on the 
peninsula of Tremont or Trimount ; East Bos- 
ton, on the peninsula E. of Boston Harbor ; 
South Boston ; the Highlands (formerly the 
city of Roxbury, Norfolk co.), and the Six- 
teenth Ward (formerly the city of Dorchester, 
Norfolk CO.). 

The first settler of l'>oston proper was the 
Rev. John Blackstone, who sold his claim to 
the peninsula for £S0 sterling, and removed 
to Rhode Island in 1635. The first church was 
built in 1632 ; the first wharf in 1673 ; the first 
postmaster was appointed in 1677, and the first 
newspaper (the "Boston News-Lotter ") was 
published in 1704. On the 23d of February, 
1822, the city was incorporated. Its popula- 
tion then was about 45,000. In 1850 Boston 
had 136,881 inhabitants; in 18G0, 177,840, and in 
1870, 250,526, inclu.^^ive of Roxbury and Dor- 
chester, which had been added to the corpo- 
ration since the preceding census. The 
number of families was 48,188, averaging 5.20 
persons each ; and of dwellings, 29,623, or 8.46 
2iersons to each dwelling. 

The old city is irregularly built, and has 
many crooked and narrow streets. The nar- 
row isthmus, called the " Neck," which con- 
nects the old city with the main land of Rox- 
bury, has been greatly enlarged by filling up 
the shallow waters on its northern side, and 
now contains broad avenues with magnificent 
private residences, stores, churches, etc. Bos- 
ton is connected with South Boston and with 
Charlestown (N. of Charles It.) by several 
bridges, and lines of steamboats ply to East 
Boston and other points within and outside 
the harbor. 

The railroads centering at Boston pass 
through nearly every village Avithin 20 mis. 
from the city, and furnish a most complete 
system of connections with every part of the 
Union. The Boston & Albany R. R, 202 nils, 
long, extends to Albany, N. Y., and there joins 
the New York Central R. R. for all points W. 
and S. At Springfield it joins the railroad to 
Hartford and New Haven, by which line the 
distance to New York is 237 mis. The Boston, 
Hartford & Erie R. R. extends to Putnam, 
Conn. The Old Colony R. li. connects Boston 
with Newport, R. I., 67 mis., and has several 
branches to the south-eastern portion of the

state. The Boston & Providence R. R., 44 
mis., has also several branches. The 15o.ston 
&, Maine R. R. extends to South Berwick 
Junction, 74 nils., and thence affords access 
to all parts of Me. and Canada. The Boston, 
Lowell & Nashua R. R. extend.s to the north- 
ern part of Mass.; the Eastern R. R. to Ports- 
mouth, N. H., and the Fitchburg R. R. to 
Fitchburjij, 50 nils. 

The principal public buildings arc the fol- 
lowing; : the State House, on tlie summit of 
Beacon Hill and fronting the Common; erected 
in l/yy. The view from the cupola sunnount- 
ing the building, and -230 ft. above tide-water, 
is verj' flue, and embraces all parts of the city 
and the bay with its numerous islands- 
Faneuil Hall, the "Cradle of Libertv," is the 
famous historical building in wliich the 
Fathers of the Revolution addressed the citi- 
zens on the political questions of the times, 
and often since have its walls resounded 
with eloquent harangues. It was given to the 
city by Peter Faneuil, in 1740 ; destroyed by 
lire in 17(51, and rebuilt in 17G3. The Custom 
House is conveniently located at the foot of 
State street, near' the head of Long Wharf. 
The Merchant's Exchange, a massive lire- 
proof building, covers an area of 13,000 sq. tt. 
The Court House is a line building, in Court 
Square, and the City Hall, near this square, 
fronts on School street. A colossal bronze 
statue of Benjamin Franklin was erepted in 
185;) in front of the City Hall. 

The city has l.'iO churches, many of which 
are buildings of much architectural beauty, 
while others are conspicuous for their age and 
historical associations. Christ Church, on 
Salem street, was erected in 17'2-2; King's 
Chapel in 16So; Trinity Church in 1734; Old 
South Church in 1730, and Brattle Street 
Church in 1773. Trcinont Temple, in St. Paul 
street, has 3,000 sittings. Park Street Church 
is noted for its giaceful spire ; Central Church 
is considered to bo the most sumptuous 
buiUling of its kind in New England, and the 
Church of the Immaculate Conception (Ro- 
man Catholic) is a grand and imposing struct- 
ure. The immense Catholic Cathedral, now 
in cour.se of construction, promises to be one 
of tlic finest church buildings in the country. 

The Boston Common, a beautiful park of 
nearly 50 acres, is between the old part of the 
city and the " Neck," slopes down from Bea- 
con street, and is an attractive resort. To 
the W. of it extends the Public Garden, 24 
acres, which is ornamented with ponds, 
flower-beds, and several statues of artistic 
merit. Concord, Chester, Blackstone and 
Franklin squares are smaller public parks. 

Boston has always been famous for the 
number and excellence of its literary, scien- 
tific or artistic institutions, and its pul)lic or 
private schools. The Athenaium, •n Beacon 
street, was incorporated in 1807; has a library 
of nearly 100,000 volumes, a line gallery of 
paintings and a sculpture gallery. The Pub- 
lic Library, foundecl in 1852, facing the Com- 
mon, possesses 130,000 volumes ; and the Mer- 
cantile Librarj-, at the corner of Summer and 
Ilawby streets, '20,000 volumes. The Massachu- 
setts ilistorical Society, on Tremont street, 
lias valuable collections of books, maps, coins, 
etc. Another interesting library is that of 
the New England Historical and Genealogical 
Society. The American Society of Arts'and 
Sciences occupies an apartment in the Athc- 
jueum building. The Lowell Institute, found- 
ed by John Lowell, Jr., provides for regular 
courses of lectures on religious and scientific 
topic-i, which are free to all. Among the other 
active societies may be mentioned the Handel 
and Hayden Society (musical); the American 
Statistical Society, the Institute of Technolo- 

fy and the Natural History Society. The 
chool of Technology is arranged on the 



plan of the Conservatoire des Arts and Metiers 
and the licole Centrale of Paris. It is not yet 
complete, but will embrace three distinct de- 
partments, known as the Society of Arts, the 
School of Science and Art and the Museum 
of Industrial Art and Science. The Studio 
Building, at the corner of Tremont and Broom- 
flekl streets, is occupied by many prominent 
artists of Boston.

^Brooklyn, city and co. seat of Kings's co., N. 
Y.; is situated "at the western extremity of 
Long Island, on the East River, opposite New 
York, and on New York B. It has a water 
frontage of more than 10 mis., extending from 
Newton Cr. to the limits of Greenwood Ceme- 
tery ; and formerly consisted of several towns, 
as "BrookljMi proper, Williamsburgli, Bush- 
wick, etc., which were incorporateil under 
one municipal government in 18.55. Brooklyn 
is connected with New York by several lines 
of steam ferries, tlie principat of which are 
the Fulton, Wall Street, South, Catherine, 
Jackson and Hamilton Avenue ferries. It is 
the terminus of the several railroads which 
intersect Long Islan<l, as the Brooklyn, Bath 
& Coney Island R. R.; the Flushing"* North 
Side R. R. and the South Side R. R. 

The city was settled in 1W5, and being the 
scene of several important events of the 
Revolution and the War of Independence, 
possesses great historical interest. As it is in 
reality but a portion of New York, its growth 
has fully kept pace with that of the great 
metropolis. In 1850 it had 9Ci,833 inhabitants ; 
in 18(50, 2l«,6(51 ; and in 1870, 39fi,099. Of these, 
251,381 were natives of the United States, ancl 
144,718 natives of foreign countries, including 
3t;,7il9 Germans; 73,985 Irishmen; 18,832 Eng- 
lishmen ; 4,098 Scotchmen, and 1,892 French- 
men. The population numbers 80,0()6 families, 
of 4.95 persons each ; and occupies 45,834 dwel- 
lings, of 8.(i4 persons each. 

The mimber of persons engaged in horticul- 
ture and farming was 5(>5; in personal and 
professional services, 4-2,920 ; in trade and 
transportation, 38,l()(i, and in manufactures 
and mechanical industries, .57,544. These sums 
include 397 clergymen ; 21K journalists : 7'29

Brooklyn is one of the handsomest cities in 
the world. Many of the wealthy mercliants, 
doing business in New York, have liore their 
stately mansions. The city is (?Ievated and 
somewhat uneven. The "Heights," extend- 
ing on both sides of the landing nf Wall Street 
Ferry, are 70 feet high, and alTord extensive

anfl maffniflcent views over the bay, with its 
sliilis anil boats ; over the great sister city, 
wltb its spires and domes; or over the more 
distant country, witli its fields and forests. 
Many of the stre(!ts of JJroolclyn are lined 
with l)eautiful shade trees, and, with tlie 
exception of Fulton street, are straight and 
inlcrs<'ct each otlier at rijilit angles The 
numerous church edifices, many of which are 
■unsurpassed for arcliitectural "beauty, have 
given rise to the appellation of the -'City of 
Churches," by which Brooklyn is known 
throuKhout tlie land. For an eiiumeration of 
the principal ones, the reader is refcrri;d to 
Appleton's Handbook of American Travel ; 
and other guide books. 

Among the prominent public buildings may 
be luentioiieil the following : The City Hall, 
at the junction of C(mrt and Fulton streets, 
and near it the tlounty Court House ; Kings 
County Jail, in Ra\-mond street ; the I'ost- 
offlce, 'in "Washington street : the new Jlercan- 
tile Library, in Montague street, containing 
also the rooms of the Long Island Historical 
Society ; the Academy of Music, opposite the 
Mercantile Library ; the Packer Collegiate 
Institute (for young lailies), on Joralemon 
street; and the Polytechnic Institute, on 
Livingston street. 

The U. S. Navy Yard is situated on the 
point of land between Last River and Walla- 
bout n., in the north-eastern part of Brooklyn 
proper ; and is nearly 4i) acres in extent. It 
includes a large dry-dock and the U. S. Naval 
Lyceum, a literary institution. The U. S. 
Marine Hospital, opposite the Navy Yard, on 
the Wallabout, is surrountled by extensive 
grounds, and has room for 500 patients. About 
a mile below the South Ferry is the Atlantic 
Dock, a basin containing 4-2U acres, with suffi- 
ciently deep water for ships of the largest 
description. 

The most noted park of Broolclvn is Pros- 
pect Park, the entrance to whicii is at the 
junction of Park, Flatbush and Vanderbilt 
avenues. It measures (iOO acres, and with its 
beautiful distant views, its groves of trees 
and shrubbery, equals, if it does not surpass, 
the Central Park in New York. 'Washington 
Park (Fort Greene) is on a plateau, to the N. 
E. of City Hall, between Jlyrtle and DeKalb 
avenues ; and Greenwood Cemetery, which 
includes 242 acres of ground, most beautifully 
laid out and ornamented, is in the southerii 
part of tlie city, at Gowanus.

CAMFOKXIA, next to Tex. the largest state

the Pacific Ocean on tlieW. It extenils from 
32° 34' to 42° N. lat., and from 114° 8' to 124° 24' 
W. long. The ('Xtrcme length from the Colo- 
rado R. in th(! S. E., to the Pueitic coast in theX. 
W., is over 800mls.; the average width from E. to 
W. is about 175 statute nds. TluMirea has been 
computed at 188,9S1 s<i. ml.s., or 12r).'.i47,StO acres ; 
4O.0UO.00() of which are arable, 3.").0(M),tHiO suitable 
for glazing, and 10,01X1,000 unlit for cultivation. 
The" lands subject to ovei'flow, known as the 
"Tale lands," comprise 5,000,000 acr(!s, and the 
mountains cover an area of nearly 20,('00,000 
acres. 

/Si/j/occ— California is naturally divided into 
four distinct regions : 1. The Coast Ranges; 2. 
The Sierra Xevada ; 3. The Central Valley, and 
4. The South-western Region. The coast-line, 
extending over 10° of lat . , has a regular north- 
western trend between the purallels of 35° aud 



40° X. lat., and the three first-named divisions 
present the same general direction. The coast 
ranges occupy a belt of about 40 mis. in width, 
extending through the entire length of the state 
from S. to X., and contiguous to the shores of 
th(^ Pacific Ocean. They consist of numerous 
ranges and ritlges of about 3,000 feet average 
elevation above the sea level, inclosing fertile 
and often highly picturesque valleys between 
them. The I5s. of San Francisco and San Pablo, 
together with the low-. ground which extends 
on both sides of the mouth of the Sacramento 
R., break the continuity of the coast ranges, 
and divide them into a northern and southern 
group. " The scenery of these ranges," accord- 
ing to J. D. AVhitney, "is rarel.v n)ore than 
picturesque, but always peculiar." "It is not 
so much the summits and ridges as the valleys 
nestling lietween them, which give character to 
the lanilseape. Besides we must allow its share 
in iirodueing the general impression to the 
l)eeuliar erosion of the mountain masses, made 
conspicuous by the absence of forests, and 
esi)eciallv to the peculiar atmosphere, which 
in vests them with a peculiar charm." (See Coast 
Ranges.) The second mountain belt is occupied 
by the great "Snowy Range," ov the Sierra 
N'evada, which trends from the S. E. to the X. 
W. for a distance of over 550 mis., and has an 
average width from E. to W. of 80 mis. It 
forms the western edge of the great continejital 
upheaval, or plateau, designated by the general 
name of the Cordilleras ; and corresponds in 
position to the Rocky Mts., the one being tlie 
western the other the'eastern edge of the mass. 
Xo range among the Cordilleras surpasses, if 
any one equals, the Sierra Xevada in extent or 
altitude, and certainly no one can be compared 
with it in the general features of interest 
wliich characterize it — scenery, vegetation and 
mineral wealth. The Sierra inosculates with 
the coast ranges at its two extremititis, the 
Tejon Pass in the S. (in about 35° X. lat.) and 
Mt. Shasta in the X. In these localities the two 
mountain systems are so linked that there is 
)io longerany geographical, but only a geologi- 
cal, distinction to be matle between them. The 
average height of the Sierra is three times as 
great as that of the coast ranges, lis culminat- 
ing section is in the neighliDrliond of 3i)'-^° X. 
lat., aiul from here the height of the peaks, as 
well as of the passes, sinks as we go northward 
or southward. At Lassen's Pk., in about 4014'* 
X". lat., the Sierra expands into a grand vol- 
canic plateau, extending from Mt. Shasta in. 
the W. to Warner's Range in the E. (near tlie 
north-eastern extremity of the stat(;),and form- 
ing a labyrinth of ridges and valleys, defying 
all attempts at classification. Between the 
Sierra Xevada and the coast ranges there lies 
an extensive low plain, the third of the physical 
regions above enumerated, and known as the 
Central Valley, or as the Valley of the Sacra- 
mento and Sail Joariuin Rs. The traveler pas- 
sing up either of these streams observes at a 
distance of 20 or 30 mis. on either hand a con- 
tinuous wall of mountains, whicli appear in 
the dim distance as simple nari-ow uplift.s, but 
which are in reality but the edges of the broad 
mountain belts above described. This valley 
is level, and on the whole I)ut slightly elevated 
above tide-water, including large "tracts of 
" Tule," or overflowed lauds. It is nearly 400 
mis. long, and includes an area of about 18,000 
sq. mis. 

The three physical regions above described 
are arranged in belts, strictly parallel to and 
conforming with the sea coast. The fourth aud 
last region has its own distinct i>eculiarities^ 
and embraces the south-eastern part of the 
state. From the coast ranges, where they in- 
osculate with the Sierra Xevada at th<^ Tejon 
Pass branch otf mountain ranges: as the San

Mts., aud many others. They include seques-

tei'ecl valleys, ■which, with their fertile soil, 
beautiful scenery and semi-tropical climate, 
form one of tlie most attractive features of 
California. Bnt to the N. K. of this beautifully 
(liversifled district, thei-e extends the little 
known desert of the interior, which, geojiraphi- 
cally speaking, forms part of rhe great Interior 
Bas'in. Arid and hot, sandy and sterile, with 
nnraerous rocky, bleak and barren mountain 
chains, and a few insignificant water-c^ourses, it 
has no attractions either for the tourist or the 
settler. A part of it is known as the Mohave 
lliver Desert. 

Bays and Harbors.— TVi^. largest, and in every 
•way the finest, B. on the coast of the state, is 
that of San Francisco. Tlie entrance from the 
Ocean is the Golden Gate, a strait of one mile 
in width and hemmed in by the picturesque 
terminations of the Coast Ranges on the K. and 
on the S. The bay is nearly 50 mis. long and 9 
mis. wide, and is sheltered from the violence of 
the winds on all sides by the surrounding hills. 
Toward the N. it. expands into another large 
sheet of water, San Pablo B., from the east- 
ern extremity of which Carqnines Strait leads 
into Stiisun B. The latter receives the waters 
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rs. San 
Diego Harbor is on the southern extremity 
of the coast, about 456 mis. S. of San Francisco. 
It is well sheltered by surrounding hills, but 
lacks the advantages for inland commerce 
which San Francisco possesses. San Pedro B., 
in Los Angeles co., is 373 mis. S. of San Francisco, 
San Louis Obispo B. nearlv 100 mls.,Monterev 
B. 92 mis., Santa Cruz Harlior, 80 mis., and Half 
Moon B., 4G mis. Drakes B. is 3(3 mis. N. of the 
Golden Gate, Tomales B., 45 mis.. Bodega B., 50 
mis., and Humboldt B., 2-23 mis. 

Rivers and Lakes. — California has bnt two 
large rivers, the Sacramento and San Joaquin, 
which traverse the great central valley in op- 
posite directions and pour their united waters 
into Suisun B. The main, though shorter, 
fork ot the Sacramento, rises near Mt. Shasta, 
while the East Pork, also called Pitt R , rises 
in Warners Range and flows through the lofty 
plateau wliich extends between this range anil 
the Sierra Xevada. The San Joaquin rises near 
Tulare Lake and flows north. Both streams 
receive numerous tributaries from the Sierra 
Nevada, but comparatively few from the Coast 
Rang'.'s. (See Sacramento R. and San Joaquin 
R.) The Colorado washes the S. E. boundary of 
the state, and being navigable to Callville, 
Nev., for small boats, is of considerable com- 
mercial importance. 

The many smaller streams of California which 
empty into the Pacific Ocean rise among the 
Coast Ranges, and drain their valleys and slopes. 
Enumerated from N. to S. they are the follow- 
ing: Ivlamatli R., the outlet of the Klamath 
Lakes in Oreg.; iNlud R., Eel R., formed by the 
junction of tlie Main and South Forks, and'emp- 
tying N. of Cape Mendocino; Russian R., Cayote 
Cr., entering the southern extremity of San 
Francisco B.'; the Rio San Benito and the Rio 
Salinas or de Monterey, both entering' the B. of 
Monterey ; Gayamas R., Santa Inez Cr., Santa 
Clara R.", San "Gabriel R., Santa Anna R., Mar- 
garita R., San Luis Rey R., San Bernardo R., San 
Diego R.; and lastly the Rio Tia Juana, which 
flows near the soutlierii boundary of the state. 

Climate. — A country extending so far N. and 
S., and comprising such contrast of elevations 
and surface structure as California, naturally 
presents in its ditferent parts greatly varying 
climatic conditions. The mean annual teniper- 
ature in the extteme N. of the state is probably 
below .50 degr. fahr.; in the S. E., where the Colo- 
rado Desert extends into the state, it exceeds 
70 tiegr. Observations made during the year 
ItGS in central California gave the follow- 
ing results : In San Francisco, mean annual 
temperature, o6° 23' ; highest temperature, 91° ; 
lowest 3o° ; in Sacramento, incau annual tem- 



perature, 59° .5S' ; highest temperature, 97°, 
lowest 29^ ; in Marysville, mean annual tem- 
perature, 63^32', highest temperature, 103°, low- 
est, 29°. It will be'noticed that the range be- 
tween the extremes increases with the distance 
from the coast. In San Francisco it is 55° ; in 
Sacramento 68°, and in Marysville 74°. Tho 
coast ranges and their valleys have a decided- 
ly oceanic climate: moist, equable and free 
from sudden change?. In San Francisco rain 
begins to fall freely in Xovcmber or December, 
but gradually diminishes in January ; February 
is spring-like, with but little rain;" March anil 
April are pleasant and showery. In May the 
sea breeze begins and continues through the 
next three months. In September and Oct ober it 
moderates, and the air is mostly dry. Septi-m- 
ber is the hottest month in the year, and then 
follow October, August and July. The interior 
of the state has a continental climate, the influ- 
ence of the sea scarcely reaching beyond the 
most eastern of the coast ranges. As we recede 
from the ocean the days are warmer and the 
nights colder. The great central vallej^ has very 
dry summers. and haidlyany ratji falls from Blay 
to November (hence the absence of forests)'; 
while th(' winters ai'omoist. In the Sierra Neva- 
da the temperatui-e decreasi's and the rainfall in- 
creases steadily with thealtitude. The line of per- 
petual snow is about 9,000 feet above the ocean. 
The south-eastern corner of the state, which 
includes a part of the Colorado Desert, has a 
climate of its own. The heat is intense, and in 
July the thermometer often rises above 100°. 
The average annual fall of rain through the 
state increases from S. to. N., and in the Sierra 
Nevada witli the altitude, la Fort Yuma it is 
but 4 inches ; in San Diego 10 ; in San Francisco 
22 ; at Humboldt B. .34 ; ami in the Sierra, above 
5,000 feet, 44 inches and more. 

Vegelaiion. — Of the 1,500 sx^ecies of plants com- 
posing the flora of Cal., about 225 are found 
only in this state or in Oreg., while the others, 
which are represented elsewhere, are marked 
with strong individual peculiarities. ' The 
number of species of trees is small compared 
with those of the eastern portions of the conti- 
nent, nor is the extent and compactness of for- 
ests nearly so great as there. Tlie great interior 
valley consists mainly of prairies, only the wa- 
ter-courses being fringed with narrow belts of 
Cottonwood ami other deciduous trees. The 
coast ranges produce forests not remarkable 
for variety or extent. The valleys are park- 
like, as the trees grow in graceful clumps. Var- 
ious kinds of oak and conifers predominate 
everywhere. The shrul)by undergrowth con- 
sists of the ■ ' chamiro," the " manzanita," called 
by the settler the " California lilac," and var- 
ious shrubby oaks, each furnished with as many 
thorns as there are points to leaves and branches, 
making what is known as the " chaparal," im- 
penetrable thickets, rendering part of the state 
quite inaccessilsle. Tho glory of the coast 
ranges is the Redwood (Sequoia scmpervir- 
ens), a coniferous tree of great size and beauty 
of form. It frequently attains a height of 275 
feet, and a circumference at the liase of .50 feet. 
In the Sierra Nevada there are extensive forests, 
consisting mainly of pines, flrs and other co- 
niferous trees. The most remarkable species 
among these is the " Big Tree" (Sequoia gigan- 
tea), which is found exclusively scattereil over 
limited areas in the Sierra, over 4,000 feet above 
the sea level, and as far as known between 30° 
and 38° 15' lat. There are eight distinct patches 
or groves of the big trees. The one in Calaveras 
CO., on the road which crosses the Sierra at the 
Silver Pass, was first discovered, aiul is the 
most accessible. It contains from 90 to 100

Slariposa Grove is situated about 16 mis. S. of 
th(! Lower Jlotcl in the Yoseiuite Valley. 

Aiiimal.s.— At the head of the Culifornian 
mammalia stands the Ki'izzly bear. Formerly 
quite abundant in nearly all parts qf the state, 
it now lives only in the" more thinly inhabited 
sections. The black bear is limiteil to the cos. 
N. of San Francisco B. The raccoon does not 
materially dilFer from that of the Atlantic 
states, anil lives in the woodless districts, while 
the badger is confined to the forests. The other 
carnivora are : the skunk, the }i:lutton, or wol- 
verine, a few of which are occasionally killed on 
the heights of tlui northern Sierra; tlie marten, 
mink, weasel, otter, cou;^ar or panthei-, the 
beautifully spotted ja;<uar, the gray wolf, sev- 
eral kinil "of foxes, and the opossum. The in- 
sect-eaters are represented by the western mole 
and the star-nosed mole; and tlie rodents or 
gnawers by the beaver, the woodchuck, several 
species of squirrels, mice and muskrals. To 
tlie ruminants or cud-chewers belong the elk, 
the white-tuiled deiu' and the blaek-lailed de(ir, 
the aiiti'lope and the mountain sheep or "Big- 
horn '■ (Ovis montana). Xearly all the orders 
of birds common to the temperate zone are 
-well represented in California. The principal 
are several kinds of wood-peckers, the white- 
Jieaded eagle, the golden eagle, the flsh hawk, 
nuirsh hawk and white-tailed hawk, numerous 
species of owls, humming birds, etc. There are 
eighty-tlve species of reptiles in Cal., as tor- 
toise, the western terrapin, lizards (more num- 
erous than ii\ any other state), rattlesnakes, 
various harmless "serpents and frogs. Fishes 
abound in the rivcM-s and lakes and near tlie sea 
coast, and in variety excel those of any other 
division of equal extent. The salmon are 
plentiful in spring, and trout of large size and 
excellent quality inhabit the mounlain lakes. 
Perches of several fe(!t in length are frequently 
caught. The white flsh inliabits the soutlierii 
■waters of the state. The '-Big Basse" caught 
near San Francisco is considered the best sea-lisli 
solil in that market. The Cal. mackerel is simi- 
lar to the Atlantic species but smaller, and is 
mostly eaten fresh. Eatable moUusks, as clams, 
oysters and muscles, are extensively sold for 
food, and crabs, lobsters and shrimps are both 
abundant and large. 

Popj/to/io/i.— California had, in 1S70, SS^.OSl in- 
habitants, 491), I-.!-! of whom were white. 4,'27'2 col- 
ored, 40,.J10 Chinese, and 'iO.OJ.i Indians. Of the 
latter there were 21,7S4 sustaining tribal rela- 
tions, and 7,'241 out of tribal relations. The na- 
tivities were as tollows : Born in the United 
States, 350,410, including 162,o;i.J native Califor- 
iiians ; born iu foreign countrii^s.'iOli.KJO, includ- 
ing 10.1)02 i5ritish Americans, 17,f)S.j EnHrlishnieu, 
54,421 Irishmen. 4,!U9 Scotchmen, 2'.),()>l'.) Germans, 
4,(>i)0 Italians and i<,'.)78 Mexicans. The growth 
of Cal. has been very rapid. The first census, 
which was taken iu"is,')0, shortly after the gold

DUM). :iV\'.m inl!a1)itants. 

Occuj>(ilio7ix. — The number of persons above 
10 years of age iu 1S70 was 4:50.444, and of these 
2as,iJH were engaged in the tlitferent classes of 
gainful occupation, viz.: In agriculture, 47,S63 ; 
In professional and personal services, 7(),112 ; in 
trade and transportation, 33,1i>.t ; and in manu- 
factures, mechanical and mining industries, 
81,508. The two branches most numerous were : 
Farm laborers, 37,.5S(!, anil miners, 3(i,.«9 ; the 
farmers numbered ■Z-LOtil ; domestic servants,15,- 
472; clergymen, SOU; lawyers, 1,115; journalists, 
209 : and phvsicians and surgeons, ],'257. 

Mining. — The first gold discovery was made 
in 184Sby I. VV. Marshall, while digging a race 
for a saw mill of Captain Suiter. As soon as 
the news of it became known thousanils of ad 
venturers from the eastern states, from Eu- 
rope, and even from distant China, flocked to 
the land of promise, and ever since Cal. has 
held the first place amony the gold-producing 



countries of the world. Gold is obtained by be- 
ing washed out of the soil, or by crushing the 
quartz rock containing the metallic veins, in 
mills. The washing process on a small scale is 
called "placer mining," and is not now much fol- 
lowed in the state. Hydraulic mining is placer 
mining on a large scale, and is still a highly re- 
munerative pursuit. It requires much outlay 
of capital. Large quantities of water are car- 
ried down from the mountains in flumes or 
ditches, and immense hills, hundreds of feet 
high, are washed away until the gold-bearing 
gravel is reached. The metal is saved in long 
slurce-boxcs, through which the earth and wiu 
ter are run, in the bottom of which gold is 
caught by quicksilver, then the mass of earth 
and gravel is run oflf into some <leep. valley or 
river, and it is this operation which often ren- 
ders hydraulic mining so extremely costly. 

Quartz mining is now the chief process of 
obtaining gold in Cal., and will remain so 
for years, as tlie veins are rich and abundant. 
The" productive goUl mines are located princi- 
pally on the western slopes and spurs of the 
Sierra Nevada, and in the following cos.: Inyo, 
]Mariposa, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador, VA 
Dorado, Placer, Nevada, Sierra, Yuba, Butte, 
Plumas, Alpine, Shasta and Del Norte. 

The amount of gold taken from the mines can 
never be known accurately, as no records are 
kept. But the fact is certain that the yield an- 
nually increased from 184v), culminated" in 1S5.3, 
and lias since then gradually fallen olf. The 
amount of treasure manifested for export.ation 
from Sail Francisco was, in 1849, $4.921, 2.)0; in 
1851, $42,.')S2,(K).); in 1S53. $.'>7,330,034 ; iu 18,i5. .•J4.5,- 
182.031: in lNi7, *48,976.H97 ; in 18.59, *47,f549.4ii2 ; in 
1801, ij!l0.03i),080: iu 18li3, *4<).071,920, and in 18fi.'), 
$14,984, .54(3. R. \V. llaymond, U. S. Commissioner 
of Mining Statistics, estimates the total yield 
of bullion for 1869 at $20,000,000. 

Silver mining is almost the sole pursuit for 
the inhabitants of the three cos. of Calave- 
ras, El Dorado and Shasta. It occurs mostly in 
argentiferous galena. Very rich deposits of 
quicksilver ore (cinnabar) occur in many parts 
of the state, but the only mines yieldiugproflt- 
abje returns are the New Alma<len, the New 
Idria. the ilediugton, the Guadalupe, and the 
Sail Juan Bautista. The first of these was the 
earliest opened, and is by far tlie most produc- 
tive. It yielded from July, 1850, to December, 
1807, 401,887 flasks, or 35,333,.5"8*i lbs. of pure metal. 
Productive coal mines ai'e worlted near Mt. San 
Diablo, E; of San Francisco B., and among the 
other mineral treasures of the state are copper, 
iron, borax, salt and sulphur. 

AgricitUnre. — In Cal. the rains begin late in 
October. Grass is green all winter; plowing 
begins on the first of December, and sowing is 
continued as late as March. Thus the farmer 
has three or four months to put in his crops. 
Corn is planted from March to May, and har- 
vested as late as December. After the middle 
of April the rains cease, and tiie whok^ harvest 
season is absolutely without rain. The great 
valleys of the San Joaquin and the .Sacranuinto 
embrace the far greater part of the farming 
lands of Cal.; but many of the valleys of the 
coast ranges, and those" S. of the Sau I'.ernar- 
dino Mts., are equally proiluetive. With so 
large a boiiy of most fertile lauds and ao favor- 
abU^ a climate, provided the faruieradapts him- 
self to the peculiarity of the seasons, agricul- 
ture is already the principal occupation of Cal, 
In 1870 the improved land amounted to 0.218,- 
133 acres, or between one-sixth and one-seventh 
of the arable surface of the state. The cash 
value of farms was (1(141,240,028; or $22.70 por 
improv(;d acre. Farmers paid wages to the 
amount of $10,309,247, and the farm productions, 
including additions to stock, were worth $49,- 
n5(),024. The wheat crop amounted to 10,(i7ii,702 
bush., which were mostly grown in t le valley 
of Sau Joatiuui. Fields" of 2,000 or 4.000 acroa

make but small fui-ins there, and ten times 
larger ones are not at all rare. In 18T2 the wheat 
crop was estimated at 1.SO,000 tons, and the sur- 
Tflus of the wliole state was believed to require 
lor transportation 700 ships of 1,000 tons each. 
The other crops were (according to the census) 
l,'2-2],22'2 bush, of corn ; l,7.'57,n07 bush of oats ; 
8,7^'3,490 bush, of barley; 11,391,743 lbs. of wool: 
2,049,-227 bush, of Irish pot's; '202,03.') bush, of 
sweet pot's ; 7,969,744 lbs. of butter ; 551,773 toi\e 
of hay, and 1,814,650 gallons of wine. The grape 
vine thrives excellently in Cal., and even those 
varieties which in the tast can only be raised 
In ghiss housfs are grown there in the open air. 
Extensive vineyards are near Sonoma, Visalia, 
in the Napa Valley, and near Anaheim in Los 
Angeles co. Semi-tropical fruits are extensively 
raised in southern Cal., and include the orange, 
olive, lenion, lime, etc. Immense orchards ot 
apples pears, peaches, and other northern 
fruits have been planted in the central portions 
of the state, and their products are largely ex- 
ported to the eastern states. In 1870 the value 
of orchard. products was $1,384,480. The total 
value of all live stock was $37,964,752 ; and the 
number of liorses was 192,273 ; of mules and ass- 
es, 17,533; of milch cows, 164,093; of working 
oxen, 5,944 ; of other cattle, 461,361 ; of sheep, 
2,768,187, and of swine, 444.617. 

Manitfaclures. — In 1870 there were 3,984 manu- 
factiiring establisments in Cal., employing 604 
steam-engines with 18,493 horse-power,"aud 25,- 
392 hands. The capital invested in this l)ranch 
of industry was ^9,728,202 ; the wages paid were 
$13,136,722 ; the materials used had a value of 
$35,351,193, and the total value of products 
amounted to $66,.594,.556. The most important 
branches and the value of their products were : 
Blacksmithing, $1,101,790; boots and shoes, $2,- 
214,807; bakery products, $1,185,820 1 carpen- 
tering and building, $1,391,163 > carriages and

405,778; cigars, $1,909,917; and woolen goods, 
$1,102,754. 

Commerce and Railroads. — The total declared 
value of goods imported in San Francisco was, 
in 1870, $20,381,907, and the export of domestic 
goods $20,791,414, and the export of foreign goods 
$2,856,116. Cal. has 143 steam vessels, with49,886i4 
tons ; 720 sailing vessels, with 75,352^^ tons, ancl 
63 barges, with 8,0613/^ tons ; or an aggregate of 
926 vessels, with 133,300 tons burden. 

In 18d2 Cal. had but 23 mis. of railroads ; in 
1873, 1,013 mis. The principal lines are as fol- 
lows: The Central Pacific 11. 11., from San 
Franci.sco to Ogden, Utah, 881 mis., with 
branches from Kiles to San Jose, 18 mis.; from 
Lathrop to Visalia, 1.52 mis., 20 of which were 
completed in 1871 ; from Kosoville to Oregon 
state line, 330 mis., 70 mis. of which were in 
use in 1871 ; from Alameda to Hay wards, 15 mis., 
and from Oakland to IJrooklyn, 5 mis.; the 
Southern Pacific R. R., from San Francisco via 
Tehachapi Pass and Los Angeles to Fort Yuma, 
on the Colorado K., about 720 mis., 175 mis. of 
whicli were completed June 1, 1872. At Fort 
Yuma the road will connect with the Texas 
Pacific R. R., which is now rapidly crossing 
Indian Ter. 

Wealth. Taxation and Indebtedness. — The as- 
sessed value of real estate in 1870 was $176,527,- 
160 ; of personal property, $93,426,908 ; together, 
$209,644,068. The taxation, not national, was 
$2,982,929, of which $1,456,024 was state tax, $1,122,- 
971 countj' tax, and $403,937 town and county 
tax. The public state debt was, on April 1st, 
1872, $:^,312,500, payable in N. Y,, and bearing 7 
per cent, interest. Principal,and intei est pay- 
able in gold. In addition to this the state pays 
6 per cent, interest on bonds, to the amount of 
$1,500,000, issued by the Central Pacific li. li. 



Edxtcation and Ncwspn-ppm. — The schools of 
Cal. are justly famous, and the educational in- 
terest is in no static Ijettcr apjireciated and sup- 
ported. In 1870 there were 91,176 children at- 
tending school, against 25,916 in 1860, and 993 in 
18.50. The number of schools of all classes was 
1,548, with 2,444 teachers. The 1,342 public schools 
had an income of $1,627,376, mostly derived from 
taxation and public funds. The two universi- 
ties had 18 teachers and 2.'>0 pupils, <'i5 of whom 
were females. The 17 colleges ha<l 156 teachers 
and 3,046 pupils. IJesides these institutions Cal. 
had 5 academies, a medical school, a theological 
seminary, a commercial institute, an institute 
for the blind and one for the deaf and dumb, 
8 schools of art and music, and 2 technical 
schools. There were further, 154 day and board- 
ing schools and 18 parochial and charity scliools. 

The total number of newspapers was 201, 
which had a circulation of 491,903. Of these 
there were dailies, 33; trj-weeklies, 4; «emi. 
weeklies, 4 ; advertising sheets, 4, and month-

Government. — ^Cal. was ceded to the United 
States by the treaty of peace which terminated 
the war 'with Mexico in 1848, ami was admitted 
into the Union as a state in 1850. The Governor, 
Lieut. Governor, Secretary of State, Comp-

September, 1871, 

The Legislature meets biennially on tlie first 
Monday of December of the odd years. It 
consists of forty Senators and eighty Repre- 
sentatives. 

The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice 
and four Associate Justices. It has appellate 
jurisdiction in all cases of equity, in all cases 
involving the title or possession of real estate, 
or in which the matter in controversy amounts 
to $300, and in all criminal cases amounting to 
felony on questions of law alone. The state is' 
divided into 14 judicial districts, in each of 
which there is a district court. The term of 
office for the Justices of the Supreme Court is 
10 years ; for the .Judges of the District Courts 
6 years, and for Judges of the County Courts 4 
years. 

The state is divided into the following fifty 
counties: Alameda, Alpine, Amador, JJutte,

^Charleston, city and the co. scat of Charles-

Cooper and Ashley Rs., which form the har- 
bor, and is about 7 mis. distant from the 
ocean. It was foundetl in 1<>72, and in 1731 
contained but GOO houses. In 178;i it was in- 
corporated ; in 179f) nearly a third part was 
destroyed by Are, and anotlier great confla- 
gration occurred in 183*^. Tliepopulation was, 
in 180!), 18,711 ; in 1810, 'ii,711 ; in 1820. 24.780; in 
18:jO, 30,2S9 ; in 1840, 29.2(51 ; 18.')0, 42,985; in 18(K),

' 41,0H4 were native Americans, 4,892 foreigners, 
22.749 were white, and 2i,173 colored persons. 
The gi-ounil on which Charleston stands is 
low and level, so that the city, as we sail up 
from the B , seems to rest upon the waters, 
and has been called (somewhat inappropri- 
ately) tlie American Venice. There are no 
splendid avenues, no imposing public build- 
ings, and yet the city makes a favorable im- 
pression upon the traveler. Many tine private 
residences are surrounded by open grounds, 
or gardens, and embowered in sombre mag- 
nolias. The character of the streets is that of 
retiring respectability. 

Charleston is a port of entry and one of 
the first commercial cities of the south. The 
spacious harbor admits vessels drawing 17 
feet, and the railroail connections with the 
interior are ample. The lines terminating 
here are : The South Carolina R. U., the Sa- 
vannah * Charleston 11. R., and the North- 
eastern R. R. Col ton and rice are the principal 
articles of export. In the year endeil June 
30, 1871, Charleston exported domestic goods 
to the vjilue of !isl2,.387,524, and imported for- 
eign goods to the value of $)21..55';l. The en- 
tries from foreign countries were 51 Ameri- 
can vessels, with 12,039 tons ; lUi5 foreign ves- 
sels, with 3'5,()f55 tons — ni.iking a total of 157 
vessels, with 48,104 tons. The clearances for 
foi-eign countries were 64 American vessels, 
with 25,813 tons ; 120 foreign vessels, with 48,- 
72(5 tons -making a total of 184 vessels, with 
74,539 tons. 

The last census report contains the follow- 
ing statistics of occupations: in agriculture 
were engaged Xil persons ; in professional and 
personal services, 9,919 ; in tratle and trans- 
portation, 3.4915, and in manufacturing and 
mechanical trades, 4,929. 

Charleston (including the co.) had. in 1871, 
8 schools in operation. The total school popu- 
lation between 6 and 1(5 yiiars of age was 10,- 
247 ; but only one-thii\l of these, 3,423, were in 
the public schools, and the aver.-vge number 
attendingschool was 1,938. The wholeumount 
expended for teachers' salaries was $10,886. 
The number of newspapers published was 14, 
of which the "Monthly Rural Carolinian" had 
the largest circulation (11,350). The most im- 
portant daily papers are: "The Courier," 
"The News" antl "The Republican." 

The entrance to Charleston B. is between 
Sullivan's Island and Morris Island, and is 
defended against a naval attack by Fort 
Moultrie, Fort Sumter, Castle Pinkney and 
l''ort Uipiey. The siege and capture of Fort 
Sumter in April, 1801, was the first hostile act 
against the Federal Government, and initiat- 
ed the late civil war.

•Chicasro, citv, port of entry and the co. seat 
of Cook CO., 111.; is the metropolis of tlie state 
and of the north-western part of the Union. 
It lies on the S. W. coast of Lalce Michigan, in 
42° X. lat., and 87° 37' W. long. The first white 
man who visited the spot where the city now 
stands was Father Mar(|U',ate, the devoted 
French missionar.y. In 170.) tlie United States 
government obtained from tlie Indians (5 acres 
of ground for tlie erection of a stockade fort, 
wlueli was to atf >rd iirot'.-etion to tlie fur 
traders. In 1812 the fort was burnt down by 
the Indians, and the garrison massacred, 
though safe conduct had beenpromised. Sub- 



sequently another fort was erected on the 
same spot, which was known as Fort Dear- 
born. During the Black Hawk war (in 18;{2) 
General Scott came with troops and some 
traders, and settlers followed him. The first 
white child was horn in 1832. In ls'37 Chicago 
was incorporated as iv city with 4,170 inhabi- 
tants. Since then the growth lias been most 
rapid, and far exceeded that of any other city 
in the country. In 1850 the population was 
29,963 ; in 18(>0, 112,172, and in 1870, 298,977, of 
whom 295,281 were white, ami 3,fi!)l colored. 
With regard to nativit.y the ninth census re- 
port gives the following statistics. Tlie na- 
tives of the United States numb'M-ed 154,420, 
and ot foreign conntries, ]44,.^57 The last sum 
includes 52,316 Germans, .39.9SS Irishmen, 10,- 
02tj Englishmen, 4,195 Scotchmen, 1,418 French- 
men, and 8,936 Canadians. 

The site of the city is a low, slightly in- 
clined plane. During the years 1856 to 1858 
tlie entire business portion was raised from 
3 to 8 feet above its former level, in order to 
secure better drainage. The Chicago R. is 
formed by two brandies (the one rtowing 
from N. to 8. and the other from S. to N., 
wliicli unite within the city), and emiities in- 
to Lake Jlichigan after a course of but half a. 
mile. As the river has scarcel.y any fall, and 
j'eceives all the sewers from the cit.v, its wa- 
ters became so impure and oflensive" that the 
health of the people living near it was seri- 
ously imperilled. To remed.v this evil the 
Illinois & Michigan Canal, which connects the 
southern brancii of the river with the Illinois 
R., is now being deepened and widened, so 
as to secure an outlet for the river into the 
canal, and even to cause a constant flow of 
pure lake water in the same direction. Chi- 
cago is supplied with drinking water from the 
lake by means of the Lake Michigan Tunnel, 
which was commenceil in Mareli, 18t>4, and 
completed in December, 1866. The depth of 
the shore-shaft is t>9 feet, and of the lake-shaft 
64 feet. The lake terminus of the tunnel, 
known as the "Crib," is composed of timber, 
and upon its top a permanent light-house and 
dwelling for the keeper have been erected. 
The tunnel, two miles in length, is circular, 
being 5 ft. 2 in. high and 5 ft. wide. It is in- 
closed in brick masonry 8 inches thick, and 
conducts the clear water from tile lake-shaft 
to the shore-shaft, whence it is lifKid li.v steam 
pumps into the reservoir. The whole" is one 
of the most colossal engineering works of 
this or any other countr.v. Highly interest- 
ing objects are the artesian wells, \vliich were 
bored :i^4 '"^s. W. of the Court Hovise, ami are 
respectively 911 and 694 feet deep, yielding 
a daily flow of water of 1,200,000 gallons. 

The" streets of Chicago are generally 80 feet 
wide, and cross each other at right angles. 
State street is the great retail business avcMiue 
and corresponds to tlie Broadway of New 
York, while Michigan avenue, Wabasli ave- 
nue, Prairie avenue and South Park avenue 
are noted for the magnificence of the mansions 
and residences of the wealthy citizens. The 
great conflagration of Octob'er (8tli to 9th), 
1871, destroyed all that portion of the city 
N. of Harrison street and E. of the North and 
South branches of the Cfiicago R., represent- 
ing an area of nearly 3,000 acres in extent, and 
embracing all the liusiness and much of the 
residence portion of the citv. The total loss 
is estimated at *l90,52ty')00 (*!.)2,009,000 in build- 
ings and $13h,.526,,W0 in personal proporty^. 
But such is the energy of the people, that this 
unparalleled c;ilamity did not check the en- 
terprize and the progress of the city. The 
rebuilding of the destroyed blocks and streets 
was commenced at once, and already Chicago 
is what it was before, the " Queen City of the 
West." 

In regard to occupations, the census report

Although Chicago has numerous manufac- 
turing establishments, as rolling mills, iron 
foundries, tanneries, etc., it is preeminent 
as a commercial city. It is the greatest lum- 
ber market iu the Union; it far exceeds Cin- 
cinnati in pork-packing ; and its commerce in 
frain exceeds that of any city in the world. 
n 183S Chicago shipped 78 bushels of grain ; 
in 185S, 20,010,178; in 1860, 31,10;».0.59 ; in 1862, 56,- 
477,110 and in 1863,54,741,839. Immense grain 
elevators have been built along the river 
banks aud near the railroail depots, facilitat- 
ing the handling and moving of these euor- 
mous quantities of grain. 

The annual report of the Board of Trade for 
1872 contains the following statistics : Rectupts 
of flour, 1,532,014 barrels ; shipments, 1,361,324 
barrels ; receipts of wheat, 12,724,141 bush.; re- 
ceipts of corn, 47,366,087 bush.; of rye, 1,129,086

bv lake, $5,250,000 ; receipts of lumber, 11, 183,- 
659,283 feet; of shingles, 610,824,420. Altogether 
the trade of the city for 1872 largely exceeded 
that of any previous year. 

Chicago'is the great railroad center of the 
west. The lines terminating here are the 
Michigan Central K. R.; the Clncago& IMichi- 

fan Lake Shore R. R.; the indianupolis, Peru

K.; Chicago is 468 mis. from Pittsburgh, Pa.; 
161 mis. from Indianapolis, Ind.; 958 mis. from 
New York ; 493 mis. from Omaha, aud 2,407 mis. 
from San Francisco, Cal. 

The communications of Chicago by Avater 
surpass those of any interior city. By 
means of the great lakes, the Erie Canal and 
the Hudson R., it is connected with New York; 
and the Illinois and Michigan Canal affords 
an easy access to the Mississippi Valley and 
an uninterrupted water-way to the Gulf of 
Mexico. Lines of steamboats ply between 
Chicago and the principal ports on the lakes, 
and the commercial intercourse with Canada 



is extensive. In the year ended June 30, 1S73, 
the number of v^essels enter(!d into the port 
from Canada was 174, with .50,838 tons ; and of 
vessels cleared for Canada, 3s;i, with 110,-373 
tons. In the same year the number of en- 
rolled vessels was 640 and of licensed vessels 
26, making a total of 660 vessels with 93,919 
tons. This total included 339 sailing vessels, 
95 steam-vesstils, 8 barges and 225 Canal-boats. 

Chicago is noted for the excellence of its 
schools and literary establishments. It had, 
in 1871, one normal school with 23 teachers 
and 587 pupils; six evening schools with 48 
teachers and 1,232 pupils ; 23 grammar schools 
with 428 teachers and 21, .581 pupils, and 15 
primary schools with 123 teachers and 6,593 
pupils. The number ol children of .school-age 
Avas 80,280; of children enrolled in schools, 40,- 
832, and the average attendance was 28,174. 

The University of Cliicago was first opened 
for instruction in 18.58, aiul had, in 1871,14 in- 
structors and 277 students. The building it 
occupies is one of the most elegant and coni- 
modious in the west. The Dearborn Oliserv- 
atory, which is connected with the university, 
contains the Clarke telescope, one ot the 
largest and best constructed instruments ex- 
tant. The Chicago Theological Seminary hasa

•Cincinnati,cit>'. port of entry and co. seat of 

Hamilton co., Ohio, is situated on the Oliio U. 

4<W mis. below Pittsburt;li, ami 501 nils, above 

Cairo, 111. Tlie first settlement was matle in 

178-^, and 12 years later it had 7.W inhabitants. 

In 1819 Cincinnati was incorporated as a city ; 

in 18;M the Miami Canal was bnilt, which 

freatlv increased the jirosperity of the city. 
n 1840 the Little Mianu li. 11., the first of the 
many lines nowcenlerint; here, was constrnct- 
ed and gave a new impulse to tlie growth of 
the city. In 1850 the jiopnlation was 115,434; 
in 18G0, l(!l,144and in 1870, JUVJao. This number 
inelmled the following nationalities: iaii,(!i7 
nati\'es of the United Stairs; 554 Austrians; 
49, t4i; Germans ; o,5-4 lOngli^hmen ; 18,024 Irish- 
men ; 787 Scotchmen ; --vwa Prenclunen, and 
],175 British Americans. 

Tlie site of the city is a serai-circular bot- 
tom rising in two terraces, respectively 50 ft. 
and 108 ft. above the river, and surrounded on 
the K., N. and W. by the steep slopes or bluffs 
of the uplainls, over 400 ft. high. These hills 
are now covered with splendid villas and 
gardens, which afford very beautiful views 
upon the city in the valley. The river front 
Is 10 mis. long. The streets are laid out with 
great regularity and intersect eacli other at 
right angles. The business portion of the city is 
compactly built and occupies tlie part nearest 
the river. It contains many blocks of imi- 
fornily handsome structures, built in various 
architectural styles, of much purity and ele- 
gance of design. The drab-colored freestone 
generally used for building purposes is quar- 
ried soiiiu 20 inls. above Cincinnati, near tiie 
river banks. 

Tlie Ohio R. is spanned by the great sus- 
pension bridge, whicli connects Cincinnati 
■with Covington, Ky. It was ilesigned and 
built by John A. Iloebling. a prominent Ger- 
man engineer, and is suspended between two 
massive towers 200 feet higli and 1,057 feet dis- 
tant from each otlier. The entire length of 
the bridge is 2,252 feet. The I'ailroad bridge 
unites IJutler street in Cincinnati witli Sara- 
toga street in Newport, Ky., and rests upon 8 
piers. 

Cincinnati has many fine churches, though 
none of such grandeur as to call for a special 
■ description. The most prominent public 
buildings are : The Court House, on JMain 
street ; the House of Refuge, in Mill Creek 
Valley; the City Buildings, whicli, with the 
grounds attached, occupy an entire square, 
fronting on Plum street"; the City Hosiiital, 
one of the finest structures of its ktnil in tlie 
■country, anil the Masonic Temple, on Third 
and Walnut streets. The Custom House and 
Post-oftice occu)\y a handsome stone edifice 
on Vine and Fourth streets, whicli belongs to 
the national government. 

One of the most beautiful works of art in 
Cincinnati is the Daviilson Fountain, which 
was purchased in Germany and presented to 
the city by the late Tyler Daviilson. It con- 
sists ot ac'ircular basin surrounded by several 
groups of allegorical figures, and surmounted 
by a graceful leniale figure. Ithasbeeniilaeed 
oh Fiftli street, between Vine and Walnut 
streets, and when throwing its gracefully ar- 
ranged jets of water attracts numerous ail- 
niirers. It consists of bronze, and was cast in 
Munich, Bavaria. 



On the high hill to the E. of the city in the 
famous Ellen Park, which commands niagiii. 
cent views of the city, the river and the ICen- 
lucky shores, with the two cities of Coving- 
ton and Newport. It contains 100 acres and in- 
eludes the water-works. When comjileted it 
will rival the Central Park of New York in 
picturesque beauty. Washington Park is an 
attractive spot on the N. side of Twelfth 
street, and Lincoln I'ark, on Freeman street, 
■with its fine avenues, its lake and island, is a 
favorite pleasure ground. 

Cincinnati has numerous charitable insti- 
tutions and associations, healing witness of 
the great liberality of the citi;«ens. The fol- 
lowing may be ineiitioned: The City Hospi- 
tal, on Twelfth street, completed in 18(i'.); St. 
Luke's Hospital, on Franklin street and Broad- 
way ; Hospital of the Good .Samaritan, on 
Lock and Sixth streets ; St. Mary's Hospital, 
on Beti's and Linn streets; the "Jewish Hos- 
pital, on Baum and Third streets; the City 
Infirniary, a large ami handsome establish- 
ment, over 8 mis. N. of the city; the Cincin- 
nati Orphan Asylum, on Auburn Hill. The 
Union Bethel is a prominent benevolent insti- 
tution, I'lnbracing several departments: the 
Widows' Home ; the Hoilie for the Friemlless ; 
the Women's Christian Association, and the 
Voung Men's Christian Association, including 
a free reading-room, music-room and coiiver- 
salion-rooin.

centers in the United States. The Ohio li. 
connects it with the largest cities of the inte- 
rior, and affords an uninterrupted water com- 
munication with New Orleans and the Gulf 
of Mexico, while the Miami Canal connects it 
with Lake Erie, and further on with New 
York. In 1871 it had 113 steamboats, with 35,-

COLORADO. 



COI.ORAno, one of the western territories, 
extends from 37° to 41i^° N. lat. and from 102° to 
10:1° long. W. of Greenwich. It has an area of 
104,.tOO sq. mis., or 66,8(50,000 acres, and is nearly 
thirteen times as large as Mass. 

S'Mr/'ace.— The W. portion of the territory, em- 
hi;acing about 1-7 of the area, is occupied by the 
principal chains of the Rocky Mta. and numer- 
ous subordinate ranges ; the i?astern consists of 
rolling plains, gradually rising toward the W., 
whore tlicy are boundeci,bv the foot hills of the 
Rocky Mts. in about 105° W. long. The Rocky 
Mts. inclose elevated plains or valleys of differ- 
ent areas, which are known as the l^orth Park, 
Midd le Park, Soufli Park and San Luis Park. 
Tlio North Park lies between the main range of 
the Rocky Mts. and the southern part oi' the 
Medicine "Bow Mts., and owing to its northern 
situation and cold climate has tlius far been 
less explored and settled than the others. The 
Middle' Park is S. of the North Park, from wliich 
it is separated by a transverse chain. Some of 
the loftiest peaks of the Koclvy Mts. i-ise upon 
its rim, as L/Ong's Peak, 14,050 feet high, about 
18 inls. N. of the 40th parallel; Parry's Peak, 
13,133 feet, and Flora's Peak, 12,878 feet, stand- 
ing near together ; Grav's Peak, 14,145 feet, 6 
mis. W. of Denver ; Mt. Guyot, 13,2-23 feet, about 
23 nils. N. of the 3yth parallel ; Mt. Silverlieels, 
from 2 to 3 mis. S. \V. of Mt. Guyot and 13,650 
feet liigh, and Mt. Lincoln, 14,123 feet, a few 
mis. W. N. W. of Mt. Silverheels. The Middle 
Park is drained by the sources of the Blue R., 
one of the confluents of the Grand R., and its 
surface is covered by magnificent forests and 
broad, open meadows. Directly S. of it lies 
South Park, the most picturesque of the series. 
The continental divide bounds it on the W. and 
separates it from the deep valley of the upper 
course ot the Arkansas R. The lofty peaks 
rising on its south-western margin are Mt. 
Yale, 14,078 feet, and Mt. Harvard, 14,270 feet. 
The San Luis Park, in the soutliern part of the 
territory, and sepai-ated from the South Park 
by the valley of the Arkansas, is by far the 
largest, and has an area of nearly 18,000 sq. mis. 
It is surrounded by the San Juan Mts. and tlie 
Sierra Mimbres, which form a magnificent 
panorama of snowy peaks and ranges. Thirty- 
five streams, descending from the encircling 
snowy crests, water the park. Nineteen ot 
these streams empty ilito the beautiful San 
Luis Lake, while the others join the Rio Grande, 
which traverses the park from N. to S. There 
are other parks of smaller area and lying E. or 
VV. of those above described. Huerfano Park 
is on the north-eastern side of the San Luis 
Park, and is bounded by the Wet Mts. Uncora- 
pahgre, in the south-western part of the terri- 
tory, is traversed by the Uncompahgre R., a 
tributary of the Grand R., and has the Sierra 
de la Plata for its southeTn margin. The ranges, 
which branch off from the Rocky Mts. toward 
the W. are thus far but imperfectly explored. 
Tliey separate the valleys of the tributaries of 
the Colorado R.. and gradually decrease in ele- 
vation toward tliis great river. The maps pre- 
pared in the Engineer's Department exUioit the 
Elk Head Range in the N., the Roan, or Book 
Mts. further S., the Elk Mts. nearly W. of the 
sources of the Arkansas, and lastly the Uncom- 
pahgre Mts., Sierra de la Plata and Sierra do 
San Miguel. The Spanish Peaks form a small 
gi-oup of lofty mountains rising E. of the San 
Luis Park, and S. of tiiem are the Raton, or 
Rat, Mts. . which inclose some of the most beau- 
tiful and fertile vallej's of the territory. 

Rivers. — The continental divide traverses 
Colorado in a general N. and S. direction, and 
the drainage ot the eastern part of the terri- 
tory is carried into the Mississippi, while tliat 
Of the western part finds its way into the great 
Colorado R. The North Platte R. drains the 
North Park, the SouXh Platte rises in the South 
Park, and both streams then unite and inter- 



sect the north-eastern part of the territory 
The Platte receives the Cache * a Poudre Cr. 
Pawnee Cr. and Beav(;r Cr. The Arkansas K. 
rises due W. of Mt. Lincoln, flows S., and turn- 
ing W. intersects tlie southern part of the ter- 
ritory. It receives the Boiling Fountain Cr., 
the Huerfano R., which rises in the park of the 
same name, the Anista R. and the Purgatory R. 
This sti'eara rises in the Raton Mts., and flows 
through a beautiful canyon. 

The N. VV. corner of the territory is intersect- 
ed bv the Yampah, or Snake, R., a tributary 6{ 
the Green R. White R., further S., rises in the 
niountain rim of the Middle Park, and also 
empties into the Green R. The Tunkara R., a 
branch of the Grand R., rises within Mitldle 
Park, receives numerous affluents, and joins 
the Green R. to form the Colorado. 

Climate—The climate of the territory resem- 
bles that of the eastern states in tlie same lati- 
tude, except that the air is much drier and the 
range of temperature between the extremes 
much smaller. Rain falls almost exclusively 
from May to July ; the other months are dry. 
Frost appeal's about the middle of September, 
and continues until the opening of sjjring, 
which usually occurs a month earlier than in 
the cast. 

Vegetation.— The plains of the eastern part of 
Colorado are covered with nutritious grasses, 
and offer excellent inducements to the grazier 
an(l stock raiser. In the mountainous part 
there are extensive forests. Summit co., in the 
N. W., including an area of nearly 20,000 sq. mis., 
is well watti-ed and timbered with oak, pine 
and poplar woods. The parks also abound with 
extensive forests, which will prove of great 
value in the future development of the country. 

Population. — Colorado was organized as a ter- 
ritory by act of February 28, 1861. The census 
for 1870 returns a population of 39,864 (or 0.38 in- 
habitants to the sq. mle.), of whom 33,265 were 
natives of the United States, including 32 natives 
of Colorado. The foreign-born population num- 
bers 6,599, of whom 663 were Canadians, 1,465 
XJcrmans, 1,358 Englishmen, and 1,685 Irishmen. 
Of the 17,583 persons who were engaged in dif- 
ferent occupations and business pursuits, 6,462 
were agriculturists, 3,625 were engaged in pro- 
fessional and personal services, 2,815 in trade 
and transportation, and 4,681 in manufactures 
and mechanical or mining industries. 

Agriculture has but recently received atten- 
tion. The climate renders irrigation necessary. 
But wherever this has been applied the results 
have been exceedingly favorable. The cereals 
and fruits produce large crops of superior qual- 
ity, wherever properly cultivated and irrigat- 
ed. Orchards have been planted in the valley 
of the South Platte and the upper Arkansas Rs., 
and promise to be entirely successful. The 
planting of forest trees on the arid plains has 
engaged the attention of but few settlers thus 
far ; but its feasibility has been demonstrated 
in tlie fine grove of cottonwood now growing 
luxuriantly in the city of Denver. The soil of the 
valleys, on the plateaux and along the streams, 
is generally rich. Some of the finest agricultu- 
ral lauds, including about 800,000 acres, is found 
on the upper tributaries of the South Platte. 
The census returns 1,738 farms, of which 166 hatl 
less than 10 acres ; 263, from 10 to 20 acres ; 671, 
from 20 to 50 acres ; 371, from 50 to 100 acres ; 258, 
from 100 to 500 acres ;' 6, from .500 to 1,000 acres, 
and 3 over 1,000 acres. The improveil land in 
farms embraced 95,.594 acres. The cash value of 
farms was !^,385,748, and the total estimated 
value of all farm productions was $416,236, and of 
live stock, $'252,394. Colo, produceii 265,939 bush, 
of spring wheat ; 2,535 bush, of winter wheat ; 
5,235 bush, of rye ; 231,i)03 bush, of corn ; 332,940 
bush, of oats ; 890 lbs. of tobacco ; 204,925 lbs. of 
wool ; 121,442 bush, of Irish pot's, and 19,787 tons 
of hay. The increased facilities of transporta

years ago beef cattle were driven from Cal. to 
Colo, to find a market. Since the completion 
of the Pacific K. lis. large shipments ot cattle 
have been made from Colo, to Cal. In 1870 
Colo, had 6,443 horses ; 1,173 mules and asses ; 
20,017 milch cows ; 5,556 working oxen ; 40,153 
other cattle ; 120,928 sheep, and 5,.509 swine. 

Mining operations date as far back as 185S, 
when gold was taken from placers near the 
site where now stantls the city of Denver. Af- 
terward followed the discovery of the rich de- 
posits of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc in 
various portions of the mountain ri'gion. Min- 
ing is now carried on chiefly in the cos. of Gil- 
pin, Park, Clear Cr., Summit, Lake and IJoulder. 
Gold is mostly fouiid intermixed with silver, 
and silver with copper and lead. The value ot 
precious minerals, obtained dui'ing 1870, has 
been estimated at about $4,000,000, of which 
$1,.'')()0,(X)0 were j-ielded by the placers, and the 
remainder by quartz veins. The census reports 
the value at only $859,374. Copper pyrites oc- 
cur in the gold and silver mining districts, and 
silver-bearing galena (lead) is also found. Coal 
beds have been iliscovered in the mountainous 
districts and in the parks, and will, doubtless, 
aid materially in the development of the mining 
and industrial interests. Salt occurs near Fair 
Play in South Park, but the cost of furnace 
evaporation has been found too ^reat to leave 
a profit. In several localities, liowever, dry 
ami comparatively pure salt is found. Mineral 
springs are very abundant in the territory, par- 
ticularly such as contain sulphur. Those in 
the Middle Park range in temperature from 
100° to 11()° Fahr., and are found to be elHca- 
cious in rheumatic and scrofulous diseases. 
In the San Juan Mts., not far from the southern 
boundary of the territory, is the Pagora Spring, 
Avhich has a temperature of 200°, and is report- 
ed to possess great curative power. Another 
large sulphur spring is situated near the Raton 
Pass, to the east of the San Luis Park. 

Manufactures. — Tlie manufacturing interests 
are as yet of limited importance. In 1870 tliere 
were 256 establisments (each producing over 
$500 worth of goods), which employed capital 
of 5(1,593,380 and 876 hands. The products had a 
vahie of $2,8.52.820, and consisted of flour, meal, 
lumber and cast-iron. 

Education.— Colo, has 135 schools and 145 teach- 
ers. The total population over 5 and below 21 
years of age was, in 1870, 8,.593, of which number 
5.345 persons were enrolled in the public schools. 
The receipts for school purposes ($98,105) were 
mostly received from taxation. The number of 
newspapers and journals published in the terri- 
tory was, in 1870,fourteeii, and in 1873, thirty-one. 
^VeaUh and Taxation. — The total assessed 
wealth of the territory was, according to the 
last census, $17,338,101, of which sum $8,840,811 
were real estate, and $8,497,290 personal estate. 
The total taxation (not national) was $362,197. 
The territory has no bonded debt. 

Government — The constitution of Colo, was 
framed by a convention on August 12, 1865, and 
adopted by the people September 5th of the 
sanie year. The capital was formerly at Gold- 
en City, but is now at Denver. The legislature 
consists of a council of 13 members, and a house 
of represeu tatives of 26 niembers. The general 
election is on the 1st Tuesday of Octoher. 

Colo, is divided into the" following 21 cos: 
Arapahoe, Bent, BouKler, Clear Cr., Conejos, 
Costilla, Douglas, El Paso, Fremont, Gilpin, 
Greenwood, Huerfano, Jeflerson, Lake, Lari-

This CO. extends on both sides of the Colorado 
li., from which it derives its name, and in- 
cludes a portion of its valley. The latter is a 
low alluvial and very productive plain ; the 
higher tracts on botli sidea of it are iiudu- 



lating and consist mostly of prairies. The 
southern part of the CO. is drained by Sanay 
Cr., a tributary of the Lavaca R. Columbus

Colorado River, large stream in Tex., rises 
on the Llano Estacatlo in the N. W. part of 
the state, and intersects the latter from N. W". 
to S. E., emptj-ing into Matagorda B., near 
theWllage. Matagorda, Austin, Bastrop, La 
Grange and Columbus lie upon its banks. It 
is navigable as high up as Austin, about 300 
mis. above its mouth. 

Colorado River, also called the Colorado 
of the West, to distinguish it from the sev- 
eral Colorado or Red lis. of our country, no- 
tably from the Colorado R. of Tex., the Red 
R. of the N., etc.; is formed by the confluence 
of the Green R. and the Grand R. The Green 
R. rises on the W. slope of the AVind River 
Mts. of Wyo., near i'remont's Peak. Its sour- 
ces are not far from those of the Wind R., 
Yellow Stone R. and Snake R. At first it flows 
S. • tlirough the desert plateau of southern 
Wyo., which lies between the 'Nrahsatch Mis. 
and the Wind River Mts. Arriving near the 
northern base of the Uiutah Mts. it turns E. 
and then resumes a southerly course through 
the narrow valley or cafion which separates 
the Uintah Mts. and numerous extensions of 
the AVahsatch Mts. from the Sierra Escalante 
and other ranges, until it joins the Grand R. 
ill lat. 38° 27'. The principal tributaries of 
the Green li. are the Bear R. and Wiiite R. 
from the E., and the Muddy Fork, the Uin- 
tah R., another AVliite R. and Akanaquint Cr. 
from the VV. The Grand R. rises in the Kosky 
Mts., a range of which separates its sources 
from those of the Arkansas li. Its course lies 
entirely between lefty mountains, and its 
principal tributary', the Bunkara R., rises iu 
the Middle Park, anil flows betAveen the Roan 
and Elk Mts. The head waters of the Bun- 
kara, which drain the Middle Park, are the 
Gilpin R., James R., Bangs R., Milk R. and 
Blue R. From the junction of the Green and 
Grand Rs. the Colorado flows S. W. through 
Utah and northern Ariz., until itis joined by 
the Little Colorado, or Flax, R., when it ab- 
ruptly turns X. W., which course it pursues 
as far as the little town of CallviUe. From 
this point it follows a southerly course, until 
it empties into the nortlKun angle of the Gulf 
of California in lat. 31° oO'. It receives several 
important tributaries from the E. and S. E., 
as the. Juan R., the Flax R., Bill Williams 
Fork ah(.l the Gila R. Small steamboats as- 
cend the Colorado R. to Callville. From the 
junction of the Green and Grand Rs. to Call- 
viUe, a tlistance of over 350 mis., the Colorado 
R. llows through a series of tremendous 
chasms, known by the Spanish name of 
"canons."- They are rents or ravines in the 
lofty plateaux, as the AV'liite Mesa and others, 
which occupy southern-western Utah ana 
northern Ariz. These cafious are hemmed iu 
by nearly perpendicular rocky walls of im- 
mense lieight, often exceeding 5,000 or 6,000 
feet, shutting out the light from the R., which 
flows through these somber depths. [See the

stroyed a large part of it. Columbia has re- 



covered from this calamity, and will soon at- 
tain to its former prosperity. Its commerce 
is considerable, as it is the shipping center 
for the agricultural products of a large por- 
tion of the state. The river affords immense 
water-power, which will make the city a great 
manufacturing place when fully utilized.

and the southern terminus of the Boston, 

Concord, Montreal & White Mountains R. R. 

It is 18 mis. from Manchester and 73 mis. from 

Boston, Mass. 
The city stands upon a level ground grad- 



ually rising from the river bank, and consists 
chiefly of two principal streets, extending 
two mis. long and i)arallel to the river. The 
State Capitol occupies an entire square of 
ground, and is built of the celebrated Concord 
granite. The other pul)Uc buildings of inter- 
est are : the City Hall and Court House, on 
Main street ; the State Prison, on State street, 
and the Asylum for the Insane, in the western 
part of the city. The population was, in 1850, 
8,576 ; in 1860, 10,896 ; m 1870, 12,241, of whom 
10,577 were natives of the United States, and 
1,664 foreigners. The population is almost 
wholly white, there being but 36 colored per- 
sons. 

It has numerous manufactories, producing 
agricultural implements, leather belting, car- 
riages and wagons, men's clothing, cotton 
goods (11,516,209), furniture, hosiery, leather, 
lumber, machinery, pavier, sadler.y and har- 
ness, silverware, woodenware and woollen 
goods. 

Concord, like most New England cities, has 
excellent schools. In 1871 2,344 children were 
enrolled in the public schools, which num- 
bered 49, and had 75 teachers. Six newspapers 
were published in 1873.

COXXECTICrT, one of the 13 original states 
of the Union, and the most south-western of the 
New England states, is bounded on the N. by 
Mass., on the E. bv R. L, on the W. byN. Y.,and 
on the S. by Long Island Sound. It extends 
from 41° to -12° 25^' N. lat., and from 71° 5.5' to 73° 
50' W. long. The area is estimated at 4,730 sq. 
mis., or 3,027,200 acres. 

Surface.— Conn, has no lofty mountains, but 
is pleasantl.y diversified by hills and valleys. 
It includes the southern extremities of tlie two 
great New England s.vstemsof elevations which' 
are known in Vt. as the Green Mts. and in X. H. 
as the White Mts. The wide valley traversed 
bv the Connecticut R. and the lower course of 
the Quinnipiak R. separates these two systems. 
The traveler coming from the banks of the 
Hudson R., in the W., first rises in Litchfield 
CO. to the broad and undulating table-land which 
occupies the western part of the state, then 
gradually descends into the valley of the Con- 
fieeticut'R., and at last crosses tile greatlv di- 
versified hilly region of Eastci'n Connecticut. 
Thus the state may be divided into three dis- 
tinct sections. The western plateau, with its 
numerous ranges and ridges, is the culminating 
ground. It lias a mean efevation of from 600 to 
700 feet, while some of its superimposed hills 
exceed 1,200 feet; and is on the whole better 
adapted to grazing and dairying than to the

erowth of cereals. It is intersected by the val- 
leys of the Honsatouic R. and Its tributarii^s, 
and gradually descends in a southerly direction 
until it teriiiinates with low hills near the 
sliores of the sound. The Central or Connecti- 
cut Kiver Valley is the best farming region of 
the state, and I'las an average width of over 20 
mis. It is traversed by trap dykes, trending N. 
and S. Such are the Talcot Mts., W. of Hartford 
(S90 feet high); the range which terminates with 
the Hanging Hills (995 feet), W. of Meriden ; 
Mt. Carmel (800 feet), near Hamden ; East Rock 
and West Rock, near New Haven. The Central 
Valley belongs to the red sandstone formation. 
The eastern port ion of the state consists of nu- 
merous ranges of hills with gentle declivities, 
and contains in the valleys wliicli intersect it 
much excellent farm land. One of these ranges 
trends in a south-westerly direction, terminat- 
ing near New Haven, and is intersected below 
Middletown by the Connecticut R. 

Hivers and Lakes. — The larj'est stream of the 
state is the Connecticut R. It flows due S. as 
far as Middletown through the Central Valley, 
and then turns S. E., emptying into Long 
Island Sound near Saybrook. During a former 
geological period it unquestionably foUowetl 
the Central Valley into the B. of New Haven ; 
but now it breaks through a range of hills, 
leaving the drainage of the lower part of its 
proper valley to the Quinnipiak and other 
small rivers. The largest tributary of the Con- 
necticut is the i'armington R., which, coming 
from Mass., flows S. S. E. to the village of Farm- 
ington. Here it turns sharply northward, flow- 
ing along the valley W. of the Talcot Mt. At 
Tarifl'ville it again changes its course, breaks 
through the* tra]) mountains and empties into 
the Connecticut K. near Windsor. The Park R., 
Little R. and others also join this large stream 
from the W. Its eastern afiiuents are Scantic 
R., I'odank R., Hockanum R., Roaring Brook 
and Salmon R. Steamboats ascend the Con- 
necticut to Hartford. The eastern part of 
the state is drained by the Thames R., which 
empties into the sound near New London. It 
is formed by the confluence, near Norwich, of 
the Yantic and Quinebaug lis. The former is 
but a small stream, while the latter rises in 
Mass. and traverses the entire width of the 
state. The largest of its numerous affluents is 
the Shetucket R., which is formed by the junc- 
tion of the Willimantic and Natchaug Rs. Cor- 
responding with the Thames in the E. is the 
Housatonic in the W., which rises among the 
highlands of Berkshire co., Mass., and flows 
S. S. W. through Litchfield co. to South Kent, 
where it changes its course to the S. E. to Derby. 
A few miles below this town it receives its larg- 
est tributary, the NaugatuckR., and then flows 
due S. to the sound. Its other tributaries are 
the Shepaug R., the Pomeraug R., and the Qua- 
sipaug R., which rise on the table-land of Litch- 
field CO., and have southerly courses. Besides 
the three large rivers here mentioned, there 
are numerous smaller ones which empty into 
the sound. The Xoraton, Norwalk and Sauga- 
tuck drain the S. W. part of the state. Into 
New Haven B. empty the West B., Mill R. and 
Quinnipiak R. The Mystic R. emjjties E. of 
the Thames and opposite Fisher's Island, and 
the Pawcatuck R. partly separates Conn, from 
R. I. Many of the principal streams of the state 
have in common the deviation of their lower 
courses toward the S. E., although the ranges 
of mountains and hills trend in a S. S. W. direc- 
tion. Hence, each of these rivers, after flow- 
■■ng through a part of one valley, breaks through 
a range of hills and passes into another. The 
Connecticut, Farmingtou, Shetucket, Housa- 
tonic, Quinnipiak, and some others, have this 
feature. 

Connecticut has no large lakes, but numerous 
small and often picturesque sheets of water are 
aistributed over its surface. The foUowiug 



merit especial mention : Saltonstall Lake, neai 
New Haven B.; Pokatapaug Lake, in IMiddkwex 
CO.; Snijosick Pond and Narhapaug Lake in Tol- 
land CO., and Long Lake and Crooked Lake, in 
Litchfield CO. 

Hays and Harbors. — The most important of 
these is the B. of New Haven, situated at the 
southern terminus of the Central Valley. New 
London is at the mouth of the Thames ; Strat- 
ford Harbor at the mouth of the Housatonic, and 
Saybrook Harbor at the mouth of the Connecti- 
cut. Besides these, at the mouths of the princi- 
pal rivers there are convenient harbors at 
Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, Saugatuck, 
South Port, Bridgeport, Milford, Brautord, 
Sachem's Head, Double Beach, Guilfortl, Nian- 
tic. Mystic and Stonington. 

Minerals. — Foremost among the mineral treas- 
ures of Connecticut are building stones. Brown 
sandstone abounds in various localities. It is 
extensively quarried at Portland, on the Con- 
necticut R., N. of Middletown. The Bolton 
stone, a micacious slate, which splits into thin 
plates, usetl for flagging, is quarried near 
Bolton, E. of Hartfortl. White marble is also 
quite abundant. Granite, gneiss and mica slate 
are largely shipped from the sea-coast to New 
York and other parts of the country. Near 
Bristol there are valuable copper mines, and 
near Middletown lead mines have been at 
various times in operation, though without ade- 
quate proflt. A cobalt mine is in Chatham. 
Traces of gold and silver have been found, but 
not in paying quantities. In the E. pait oi 
Cheshire large quantities of barytes, or heavy 
spar, are obtained, which are used in the manu- 
facture of paints. Hydraulic lime occurs near 
the trap dykes of Berlin and Southington. Bis- 
muth Is found near Monroe, and near Chatham 
are productive mines of cobalt and nickle. 
Feldspar, sufficiently pure for tlie manufacture 
of porcelain, is found near Middletown, and 
near Stafl'ord is the most famous chalybeate 
spring of New England. 

Cli7iiule.—The climate of Conn, is, like that 
of the other New England states, marked 
by great extremes and sudden changes. The 
winters are cold ; the summers hot. The ther- 
mometer rises as high as 98 degrees and sinks 
as low as 15 or 20 degrees below zero, showing a 
dilference between the summer maximum and 
winter maximum of over 118 degrees. The 
N. W. part of the state, including the Litchfield 
table-land, has the coolest climate ; the districts 
bordering on the sea the warmest. In New 
London the mean monthly temperature was 
found to be, in 1856 : Jan., 21.76° ; Feb., 25.02° ; 
March, 30.87° ; Apr., 48.78° ; May, 51.97° ; June, 
68.85°; July, 73.70°; Aug., 68.61° ; Sept., 65.0s° ; 
Oct., 51.49° ; Nov., 41.92° ; Dee., 28.27°. The mean 
annual temperature was in the same place 
47.41° ; in Pomfret, 42.58°, and in Saybrook, 
47.88°. Westerly winds prevail throughout the 
state largely in excess over all others. Thus at 
New London, of 1,098 observations there were: 
779 of N. W., W. and S. W. winds ; 24 E. winds ; 
77 N. winds ; 77 S. winds, and 147 about equally 
divided between N E. and S. E. winds. The 
amount of precipitation (rain and melted snow) 
was found to be at New London 41.67 inches, 
and at Pomfret, 47.09 inches. 

The Popidalion was formerly almost exclu- 
sively of English or Anglo-Saxon blood, but for 
some years past the foreign immigration, 
mostly Irish, has rapidly increased. The aggre- 
gate population was, in 1800, 251,002; 1810, 261,- 
942; 1820, 275,148; 1830, 297,675 ; 1840, 309,978; 1850, 
370,792 ; 1860, 460,147 ; 1870, 537,454. Of the last 
number there were 527,549 M'hites; 9,568 colored 
persons, and 235 Indians. Nearly four-fifths of 
the population were natives of the United 
States (423,815), and one-fifth born in foreign 
countries (113,639), including 820 Frenchmen 
12,443 Germans, 12,992 Englishmen, 70,630 Irisli 
men and 3,238 Scotchmen.

The number of persons cngagecl in some use- 
ful occupation was i;t3,4;-21 ; ot whom 43,053 were 
eiifjatretl in farming; 38,70-4 in professional and 
personal services ; -.^J-iO in trade and transpor- 
tation, and 8(i,344 in manufactures and mechani- 
cal and mining industries. 

AgricuUiire.—Thii higher portions of Conn, 
are well adapted to stock raising, and cattle, 
butter and cheese form important articles of 
export. The rich valleys produce the cereals, 
fruits and vegetables of the Temperate zone in 
great abundance. The cultivation ot tobacco 
has greatly increased of late, particularly in 
the valley of the Cannccticnt R. The last cen- 
sus gives the following statistics: Land in 
farms, 2,364,416 acres, or 78 per cent, of the area 
of the state. Of this amount 1,016,752 acres 
were improved and 577,333acres woodland. The 
cash value of farms was *124,241,38-', or $75 per 
acre of improved land. The estimated value 
of farm products, including betterments and 
additions to stock, was $-20,48-2,150 ; of forest pro- 
ducts, .Sl,'2'24,107 ; of slaughtered animals, «i4,S81,- 
858 ; of live stock, $17,545,038. The productions 
were : Wheat, 38,144 bush.; rye, 289,057 bush.; In- 
dian-corn, 1,570,304 bush.; oats, 1,114,594 bush.; 
buckwheat, 148,155 bush.; Irish pot's, 2,789,894 
bush.; tobacco, 8,328,798 lbs.; wool, 254,129 lbs.; 
cheese, 2,031,194 lbs.; butter, 6,716,007 lbs.; wine, 
27,414 gallons ; hay, 563,238 tons. The live stock 
included 34,9.35 horses : 190 mules and asses ; 98,- 
889 milch cows ; 39,739 working oxen ; 79,485 head 
of other cattle; 83,485 sheep, and 51,983 swine. 

Mami/aciiires.— Conn, is one of the first manu- 
facturing statei? of tbe Union, and the great ma- 
jority of the inhabitants are directly or indirect- 
Iv interested in some one Vjranch of this pur- 
suit. In 1870 the total value of products was 
$161,005,474, or nearly $300 per inhabitant, and 
seven times as much as the value of farm pro- 
ductions. The capital invested was $80,419,579 ; 
the number of establishments, 5,128 ; employ- 
ing 25,979 horse-power in steam-engines: 54,395 
horse-power in water-wheels, and 89,523 opera- 
tives, who received $38,987,187 wages. The most 
important articles produced were : Agricultu-

Commerce and Railroads.— The direct com- 
merce with foreign countries was formerly far 
more important than it is at present, and is be- 
ing absorbed more and moie by New- York. 
During the year ending June 30, 1871, the im- 
ports had a value of $1,128,909, and the exports 
of domestic goods of $061,091. Tbe number of 
vessels entering the ports of tlu; state was 187, 
of .35.391 tons burden, and the number of vessels 
which cleared from those ports was 474, with 
538,052 tons. The number of registered vessels 
belonging to the state was 42, with 11,.523 tons ; 
of enrolled vessels, 483, with 64,290 tons, and 
of licensed vessels, 189, with 2,530 tons. 

Conn, is well provided with railroads, which 
have a total length of 820 mis. against t:;>0 nils, 
ill 18»;2 ; 4<.»6 mis. in 1852, and 170 nils, in 1S42. The 
principal roads are the New York & New Haven 
U. il.; the New Haven, Hartford & Springtield 
II. R.; the Shore Line R. R., conneeling New 
Haven with Providence, R. 1.; the Connecticut 
Vailev R. R.; the Danburv & Norwalk R. R.; 
the H'ousatonie R. R.; the "S'augatuek R. R ; the 
Now Loudon Northern R. R.; the New Haven 



& Northamnton R. R.; the Norwich & Worces- 
ter R. R., and the Derby R. R. 

Weallh. Tuxation and Debt The assessed 

value of real estate, according to the last cen- 
sus, was $204,110,.509, and of personal property, 
$321,322,728; while the estimated value of both 
real and personal estate was $774,631,524, or 
$1,442 per head of po]3ulation. It thus appears 
that. Conn, is one of the wealthiest states of 
the Union. The total taxation, not national, 
reached the high ligure of $6,0f4,843, of which 
$1,875,024 were state taxation, $20,113 co. taxa- 
tion, and $4,109,700 tow^n and city taxation. The 
general balance of the treasurer shows the re- 
ceipts from all sources and cash on hand to 
to have been, for the year ending April 1, 1872, 
$3,210,325.04, and the payments $2,370,530.^)0, leav- 
ing a balance of cash "of $845,794.14. The pav- 
ments included $1,978,590.74 for civil list ; $203,- 
218 for principal of the school fund ; interest on 
this fund $13 1, 915. 10, and various smaller sums. 
The amount of state debt on April 1, 1872, was 
$4,923,-505.85 against $5,804,610.93 the preceding 
year; of co., tn. and citj' debt, $9,813,01 "> (which 
is supposed to have increased by $2,do>),00o since 
that time), making the indebtedness of the peo- 
ple $14,730,515.80 or $27.44 per head of population. 

Education, etc. — The schools of Conn, enjoy a 
well-deserved reputation. In 1872 there were 
1,630 public schools, with 2,420 teachers, at a 
cost, all told, of $1,490,989.95. The number of 
children between the ages of four and sixteen 
was 131,748 ; of whom 113,.588 attended the pub- 
lic schools, and 8,754 the private schools, leaving 
a balance of 11,947 registered as attending no 
school at all. 

There are three collets in tbe state : Yale 
College, at New Haven: Trinity College, at Hart- 
ford (Episcopal), and the Weslevan University, 
at Middlelown (Methodist). Vir\i\\ Yale College 
there are connected a Theological Seminary, a 
Law School, a Medical School, and the Sheffield 
Scientiflc School. By an act of the legislature 
the latter has been constituted the college for 
the promotion of agriculture and mechanic 
arts, and has received the land approijriation 
bestowed by congress for this purpose. 

The other" professional schools are : The Theo- 
logical Institute of Connecticut (Congrega- 
tional), at Hartford; the Berkeley Divinity 
School (Episcopal), at Middletown ; the I^pisco- 
pal Academy, at Cheshire, and the Connecticut 
Literary Ins"titute at Suflield. There are 25 in- 
corporated academies in successful operation. 
Seven cities and many villages support high 
schools. 

The charitable institutions were : 1. Ameri- 
can Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, at Hart- 
ford, th"e oldest in the Union, opened in 1817; 
2. Retreat for the Insane, at Hartford; 3. Gen- 
eral Hospital for the In.sane, at Midilletown ; 
4. State Reform School, at West Meriden ; 5. 
School for Imbeciles, at Lakeville ; 0. Iiuluslrial 
School for Girls, at Middletown ; 7 and 8. Husin- 
tals at Hartford and New Haven ; 9 and 10. Sol- 
diers' Orphans Homes, at Mansfield iind Darien. 

The State Prison is located at Wetherslield, 
and in each of the counties there is one jail.

Chief Judge and tlarce Associate Judges, who 
also are judges of the Superior Court. This 
court has final and conclusive jurisdiction of 
all matters brought by way of error from the 
judgment or decrees of any' Superior Court. 

The Superior Court consists of six judges, ex- 
clusive of those who are judges of the Supreme 
Court. It has jurisdiction of all causes which 
may be brought before it. The judges of both 
courts are appointed by concurrent vote of the 
Senate and House of Repi-esentatives, and hold 
office for eight years, but are disqualified when 
70 years of age. 

t'lie state is di^aded into the following eight 
counties : Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, Mid- 
dlesex, New Haven, New Lontlon, Tolland and 
Windham. There were, up to 1873, two capi- 
tals, Hartford and New Haven, the legislature 
meeting alternately in each, but now Hartford 
is the only capital. 
Connecticut I<alce, p. v. in Coos co., N. H.,

Connecticut River, the largest stream of 
New Jingland, rises in the Heights of Land 
which separate the United States from Cana- 
da; flows S. between Vt. and N. H.; intersects 
Mass. and Conn, and empties into Long Island 
Sound near Saybrook. The river is over 401) 
mis. long, and its width in Conn, and Blass. 
varies from .500 to l,OoO feet. Tlie prinei))al 
tributaries from the W. are the Passumpsic 
R., the White R., the Deerfleld and Weslfield 
Rs. in Mass., and the Farmington R. in Conn. 
The tributaries from the E.are the Ammo- 
noosuc R. in N. H., Miller's R. and the Chicopee 
R. in Mass., and several small creeks in 
Conn. The valley of the Connecticut is ex- 
ceedingly fertile, and in its lower or Connec- 
ticut portion large quantities of tobacco are 
I'aised. At Middletown, Conn., the river 
turns to the S. E. and breaks through a range 
of hills. In Mass. it passes by Mt. Holyoice 
and Mt. Tom. The scenery" of the valley, 
which in the mean is from Xi to 40 mis. wide, 
is famous for its beauty. The Green Mts. and 
their extensions bound it on the W. ; the 
White Mts., and numerous lesser elevations, 
in Mass. and Conn, on the F. The river is 
na\'igable as far as Hartford. A line of steam- 
ers plies during the summer season between 
this city and New York. The name is derived 
from the Indian appellation of the stream, 
Quonektacut, which is said to mean Long R.

DAKOTA extends from 43° to 49' N. lat. and 
from 96'^ 22' 30" to 104° W. long. It is bounded 
on the N. by British America, on the E. by 
Minn, and Iowa, on the S. by Xebr., and on the 
W. by VVyo. and Mont. The greatest length is 
414 mis. and the greatest width ;W0 mis.; the 
area, 150,932 sq. mis., or 96,.596,480 acres. The 
southern boundary is formed by the Missonfi 
R., the Niobrara R. and the Keya Paha R.; the 
eastern by the Big Sioux R.; IJig Stone Lake, 
Lake Traverse and the Red R. of the North. 
Surface. — The territory forms a gently undu- 
lating prairie, rising very gradually from the 
E. to the W. Near its south-western corner are 
the Black Hills, the only mountain group of the 
region, which rises over 7,000 feet aliove the sea. 
The "Plateau du Coteau du Missouri," or Mis- 
souri Hills, occupy the eastern shores of the 
great river, and the "Plateau flu Coteau des 
Prairies," or Prairie Hills, a table-land which 
nowhere exceeds I,.iO0 feet in elevation, extend 
for 200 mis. along the the eastern border of the 
territory. 

Ricers and Lakes.— IXxa Missouri R. intersects 
Dakota from the N. VV. to the S. E., and re- 
ceives within its boundaries numerous tributa- 
ries. Those joining the main stream from the 
W. are the Little Missouri, the Big Knife, the 
Heart, the Cannon Ball, the Ree or Grande, the 
Shyenne, formed by two forks, which receive 
the drainage of the Black Hills, the White and 
the Niobrara Rs. From the E. the Missouri 
receives the numerous small creeks which rise 
in the Missouri Hills; the Dakota R., « larijo 
stream which traverses the territory from N. 
to S.: the Vermillion R.; the Brule Cr. an<l the 
Big Sioux R. The Red R. of the X'orth passes 
northward for a distance of 200 mis. along the 
eastern boundary of the territory. It receives 
the Shyenne-Oyu R., which drains the Mini 
Wakah or Devil Lake. The Pembina K. inter- 
sects the north-eastern part of the territory, 
and the Souris, or Mouse, R. the northern. 

CUnuite.—lLhQ climate is more genial and mild 
than the high latitude would seem to warrant. 
The annual rain-fall averages 20 inches, and the 
fact that it mostly occurs during the warm sea- 
son is favorable to vegetation. Although Dakota 
is m:iinly a prairie region, forests are not want- 
ing. The margins of the rivers, lakes and brooks 
are generally fringed with groves of cotton- 
svood, oak, 'ash, elm and maple. The prai- 
ries of southern Dakota are covered with 
myriads of beautiful wild flowers from AjDril 
to" October. 

Population. — Dakota was organized as a ter- 
ritory on the 2(1 of March, 1861. The first white 
settlements were made in 18.58-9 at Sioux Falls, 
Vermillion and Yankton. In 1870 tlie popula- 
tion was 14,181, or 0.09 persons to the S(i. mle. 
There were 9,366 natives (-including 92 colored 
anil 999 Indians), and 4,815 foreign-born persons. 
Of the total number of person.^ engaged in all 
classes of occupations (.5,727), 2,.522 were engaged 
in agriculture, 2,704 in professional and per- 
sonal services, 204 In trade :ind transportation, 
and 457 in manntactures and mining. 
Agriculture. — Dakota has much excellent soil,

of which thus far but little is settled and culti- 
vated. The valley of the Bij? Sioux R., as high 
up as Stone Lake, is one of the finest bodies of 
agricultural land in the territory, and will, at 
110 distant day, be improved. ^Vest of it is 
another valley of great fertility on Brule Cr. 
This is one of the most attractive and most 
densely populated districts of Dakota. The 
Vertniiliou Valley, still further \V., is noted for 
its great natural beauty and fertility of soil, 
and is being rapidly settled. The Dakota R. 
Valley is tlms far but little known, but contains 
exten'sive tracts of the very best farming lands. 
Along the Missouri U., from the month of the 
Big Sioux to Fort Thompson, extends a broad, 
fertile plain, well supplied with heavy timber, 
and accessible to markets. 

Of the land in farms, 42,64.5 acres were im- 
proved, 23,605 acres woodland, and 237,126 acres 
unimproved. The number of farms was 1,720, 
of which 455 included from .3 to 10 acres; 414 
from 10 to 20 acres; 642 from 20 to .W acres; 166 
from ,50 to 100 acres, and 43 from 100 to .500 acres. 
The total cash value of farms was $2,085,265, and 
the estimated value of farm productioivs $49.i,- 
657; and of all live stock, :{s779,952. The principal 
productions were: 170,460 bush of spring wheat; 
133,140 corn ; 114,327 oats ; 4 118 barley;. 50, 177 pot's ; 
8,810 lbs. ot wool; 209,735 butter; 13,;>47 tons of 
hay, and 1,230 lbs. of sorghum molasses. Da- 
kota had 2,514 horses ; 225 mules, and asses ; 
4,151 milch cows ; 2,125 working oxen ; 6,191 other 
cattle; 1,961 sheep, and 2,033 swine. 

Manu/aclitres. — The total value of manufac- 
tures was $178,570, and the principal products 
were liimbei", flour and meal. The Northern 
Pacific R. R. will intersect this territory from 
E. to W. 

Education.— There were 34 public schools of 
all classes in Dakota, with 48 teachers and 1,223 
pupils. The school income amounted to $8,364, 
which was raised entirely by taxation. Three 
weekly newspapers were publislied, with a to- 
tal circulation of 1,652 copies. 

Wealth and Taxation. — The total assessed 
value of real estate was $1,69.5,723, and of per- 
sonal estate, $1,228,766. The estimated value of 
real and personal estate amounted to $5,599,752. 
Dakota had no state debt. The county debt 
was but $5,761, and the taxation (not national) 
was $13,867. 

Government.— Th.& Governor and Secretary 
are appointed by the President. The Auditor, 
Treasurer, and Superintendent of Public In- 
struction are chosen by the qualified electors. 
The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, District Courts, and Probate Courts. 
The Supreme Court is composed of one Chief 
Justice and two Associate Justices.

DELAWARE, one of the original thirteen 
States; is bounded on the N. by Pa., on the VV. 
and S. by Md. and on the E. by the Delaware 
R. and 15., and the Atlantic Ocean. It extends 
from 38° 28' to 39° .W N. lat. , and has an area of 
2,1-20 sq. mis. or 1,358,800 acres. 

/Swr/rtce.— Delaware occupies the north-eastern 
portion of the peninsula which separates Dela- 
ware B. from Chesapeake B., and which forms 
a plain of but little elevation above the sea 
level. Through the center of this peninsula ex- 
tends from N. to S. a broad swell of the ground, 
somewhat higher than the sea-coast, and cov- 
ered with swampy tracts, from which the small 
Streams issue. Delaware includes a portion of 
this higher ground and thus forms a plain 
pently inclining from the W. to the' shores of 
Delaware B. on the E. 

Rivers.— Thti rivers of Delaware are small, 
and with the one exception of the Delaware U., 
wl^ch forms the boundary, are not navigable. 
Into this large stream empty tlie foUowiTig: 
Brandywine Cr., rising in Chester co.. Pa., tra- 
versing a wild and roihantic valley, and joined 
near VVilmington by Christiana Cr. ; Duck Cr. 
forming the boundary between Kent and New- 
castle COS.; Mispilliou R., forming the boundary 
between Kent and Sussex cos.; BroadhillCr. and 
Indian R., l)otli in Sussex co. The Choptank 
and Nanticoke lis. rise in the western part of 
the state and empty into Chesapeake B. 

Climate. — The climate of Delaware is mild, 
being tempered by the vicinity of the ocean, 
The mean annual temperature at Newark is be- 
tween 52 and .W deg. Fahr. The northern part 
of the state has much excellent farm land, but 
the southern part is on the whole sandy and but 
little productive. 

Popidntioii. — The first settlements in Delaware 
were made by Swedes in l»v27. In 16.5,') it became 
a dependency of the Dutch colony of New 
Amstonhun, and together with this colony fell 
into the hands of the English in 16(U. In 1682 
the Hiiglish government made it a part of the 
■William Penn grant; but in 1701 it was separated 
from Pennsylvania, though subject to the same 
governor ilo wn to the war of independence. The 
number of inhabitants was, in 179<1, 59,096 ; in 
1810, 72.674; in 1S40, 78.075; in 18()0. 112,216, and in 
1870, 12.5,01.5, which includes 115,879 natives and 
9,131) foreign born persons. Among the natives 
were 93,101 whitesand 22,778 colored ; and among 
the foreign born, l,Ul Germans; 1,419 English- 
men, and .5,907 Irishmen. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
40,313 pen-sous, of whom 15,973 were engaged in 
agriculture; 11,389 in professional and per- 
sonal services ; 3,437 in trade and transport.-i- 
tion. and 9,514 in manufactories and mechanical 
industries. 

Agricullure.—T:\\G number of acres of im- 
proved lauil was H9?,115; of woodland, '29.5.162, 
and of unimproved land in farms, 59,045. The 
cash value of farms was JIU, 712,870, and the esti- 
niatetl value of farm productions, including 
betterments, was $8,171,(567. There were pro- 
duced 8.t5.3W bush, winter wheat; 10,-2'22 bush, 
rye; 3.010,390 bush. Indian-corn; 551,:JS8 bush, 
oats ; 362, 724 bush. Irish pot's ; 85,309 bush, sweet

41,890 tons hay ; 65,908 gallons of sorghum 
molasses, and '3.3,151 lbs. of honey. Delaware 
produces large quantities of tine fruits and veg- 
etables. The peach orchards are justly famous 
and partly supply the markets of Philadelphia, 
New York and even Boston. The value or 
orchard products in 1870 was $1,226,893, and of 
market gardens, $198,67.5. The value of all live

FliORIDA includes the peninsula of Florida, 
■which extends from the northern boundary of 
the state, in a direction S. S. E. for 3.30 nils.," be- 
tween the Atlantic Oeean and the Gulf of Mex- 
ico; and West Florida, a narrow region extend- 
ing along the Gulf of Mexico to the River Per- 
dido, 350 mis. west of the Atlantic coast-line. On 
the north the state boundary separates it from 
Georgia and Alabama, while on all other sides 
it is surronniled by water. The area of the 
State is ^{>,->m sq. inls., or 37,931, ."iiO acres, ol 
which 4(;,0()0 sq. mis. are embraced in the penin- 
sula. The latter has a nearly uniform wi<lth of a 
little more than a hundred nils., and extends 
from 2.1° to 30° X. hit. 

Surface. — No part of the state rises to an ele- 
vation of more than 2.i0 feet above the sea level. 
The greater part of the peninsula is but a few 
feet above high tide. The land which forms it 
slopes eastward and westward from a central 
elevation about 175 feet higli, composed of a 
porous limestone somewhat older than the 
miocene group, and of a frialile sand-roclc. 
This " Back Bone Ridge," as it has been called, 
is about fifty mis. wide, and extends as far south 
as Charlotte Harbor. Low, swampy tracts ex- 
tend E. and S. of it, with a muddy or sandy sur- 
face soil. Part of this is a vast "field of coarse 
saw grass, and aquatic plants known as the 
Everglades ; they cover an area of about 4.0iX) sq. 
mis. Between tiiem anil the Gulf of Mexico ex- 
tends a vast forest of cypress about one-half 
llie size of the Everglades, and known as the 
Big Cypress. Most of t Ids region is whoUv un- 
inhabited and almost unexplored. The Atlantic 
and the Gulf coast are covered by forests of 
cypress, live-oak and cedar on tht; low lands, 
and of pine on the sand ridges. The whole of 
the southern portion of the peninsula lies on a 
modern coral formation, and has been formeil 
by the achlitlon of successive crescent-shaped 
leefs around the extremity of the " Back Bone 
Ridge." About seven of tliese reefs have been 
noted .S. of LaHc OkeeChobee, and the process 
is still going on. The so-called " Keys " (from an 
Indian word signifying an island) are the sum- 
mits of a reef whicli is constructing under simi- 
lar laws. West Florida is low and swampy within 
ten or twenty mis. of the coast-line, when it 
rises into a tertiary plateau limestone, the com- 
mencement of the slope, which, slowly ascend- 
ing, reaches the foot of the Appulachiuius in Ga. 



Riverif and Lakes. — The peninsula of Florida 
presents some singular contrasts in the ar rangc- 
Tnent of its inland waters. The principal river 
is the St. Johns. This is a sluggish, tortuous 
stream about 250 miles in length, and from two 
to three miles in width as far up as Lake 
George. Its current is about one mle. an hour 
and the slope of its bed so little that at Lake 
Monroe, about 140 mis. above its mouth, it is but 
three feet si.x inches above the sea-level. Its 
course until within 15 mis. of itsmouiliis nearly 
due north, contrasting in this respect with the 
other large streams of our country. lis only 
important tributary is the Oklawaha. They both 
rise in a chain of ponds, lakes, and swamps "on the 
northern limit of the Everglailes. On the Gulf 
coast the Hillsborough R. falls into T.^mpa B.; 
N. of it is the Withlacooche ; and the Suwannee, 
with its two main branches, drains the N. por- 
tion of the peninsula. West Florida is traversed 
by the Apalachicola, a handsome stream, navi- 
gable for steamboats throughout its whole 
course in this state. The slight elevation of the 
peninsula has led to the formation of numerous 
lakes and ponds. The largest is Lake Okee 
Chobee, 1,200 sq. mis. in area, but with an aver- 
age depth of but 12 feet. Lake Kissimmee, on 
tiie river of that name, and LakeGi;orge, on the 
St. John, are next in size. I./ake Orange is noted 
for the extensive and beautiful wild orange 
groves that ornament its shores. Alligator 
lake in the north is remarkable for its varying 
size, almost disappearing iu tlie dry season, and 
becoming several mis. in diameter after the 
summer rains. Florida is famous for the num. 
ber, size, and vai'iety of its springs. The largest 
are the Silver Spring, in Marion co., and the 
Wakulla Spring, in Wakulla co. Each of these 
throws out snfBeient water to form a small river. 
There are also many mineral and theriual 
springs, among which, the White Spring, Ham- 
ilton CO.; Orange Spring, Marion co.,and Greene 
Cove Spring and the Warm Sulphur Siiring, 
Lake IMonroe, with many others on the St. Johns, 
are best known. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of Fla., 
especially of the peninsula, partakes more of 
the tropical character than that of any other 
state. The average summer temperature is 80" 
Fall.; the winter (i,>°, rising at Key West to 70'^. 
In the interior the summer heats are debilitat- 
ing, but on the coast they are tempered by the 
sea breeze. Frosts* occur in all parts, but very 
rarely; on the south-eastern coast, where the 
cilmate is most equable, once in two or tlirea 
years. In summer the prevailing winds are from 
the E. and S.; in winter, from the N , N. E. and 
N. W. The annual rain-fall averages .">5 inches. 
Three-fourths of this falls between April and 
October, which is the rainy season. The wintcf 
is comparatively dry, ami is ecjuable and brac- 
ing. Indeed, the winter months in Fla. otfer 
generally such delight f ul and liealf hful weather 
that the state is visited annually by many 
thousands of northern visitors in search of 
pleasure and health. 

The vegetation of the peninsula is varied. 
The low saw palmetto and tall and graceful 
cabbage jialm (both species of ehamrerops); the 
Spanish moss,trailing from the mighty limbs of 
live oak and cyjiress ; the mangrore\ clothing 
and concealing with its densegrowtli the shore 
islands, and tlie groves of wild orange trees, 
strongly arrest the attention of the visitor from 
the north. The dry sandy tracts are occupied 
by forests of red pine, while the interior lime- 
stone ridge produces hickory, white oak, gum 
anil other hard woods. 

The animal life is abundant. The manatee or 
sea cow was formerly frequent, but is now 
almost extinct. -lUigators are numerous. Deer, 
bear, panthers and wild turkeys abound. Par- 
roquets, curlews, and other birds of brilliant 
plumage enrich the woods and waters. Tha 
mullet, river trout, pompano and other excel-

Ic^it fish swarm in the rivers and lagoons. Tlie 
green turtle is caught on the sea-shores, and 
the gopher in the interior. Scorpions, centi- 
pedes, stinging insects, and venomous snalfos 
are also not rare, but serious accidents from 
them are infrequent. 

PopulaUon. — The population of the state was, 
in 1.S30, 34,730; in 1840, 54,477; in 1S50, 87,455 ; in 
1860, 140,4-24, and in 1S70, 187,748, including 90,057 
whites, 91,689 colored persons and 27 Indians. 
The natives of the United States consisted of 
91,395 whites and 91,384 colored persons. The 
native population of the state numbered 182,- 
781, the foreign born population 4,9ti7, inclusive 
of 1,155 Cubans, 597 Germans, 399 Knglishraen 
and 737 Irishmen. Of the population 10 years 
old and over, which numbered 131,119, there 
■were engaged in the useful occupations, 60,703^ 
and of these were engaged in agriculture, 42,- 
492; in professional aiid personal services, 10,- 
897; in trade and transportation, 3,023, and in 
manufactures and mechanical industries, 4,291. 

Agriculture. — ^iucli of the soil of Fla. is not 

Eromisiug in appearance. Tlie Everglades and 
ypress swamps are worthless to tlie fanner, 
unless they are drained. The ridge of sand and 
decomposed limestone along the southern 
coast fronr Cape Sable to Indian R. is capable of 
cultivation and otTers a good field for the intro- 
duction of tropical plants, especially cotfee. Its 
area is estimated at 7,000,000 acres. 

The northern portion of the peninsula con- 
sists of " scrubs " (dry, sterile tracts covered 
with thickets of black-jack, oak and spruce), 
pine lands and hammocks. The latter are rich 
river bottoms, densely timbered, and often 
yield from 70 to 80 bushels of corn to the acre 
with jmperfect tillage. The pine lands are of 
deep white sand and are but moderately pro- 
ductive, iinless they are thoroughly manured. 
Tlie eastern part of Fla. has on the" whole less 
fertile lands than the western and middle. 

The chief staples of the state are Indian-corn 
and cotton. Of the former 2,225,0.5(5 hush, were 
produced in 1870 ; of the latter, 39,789 bales. The 
other farming productions were : 114,204 bush, 
oat.s; 10,218 bush. Ii-ish pot's.; 789,456 bush, sweet 
pofs.; 401,687 lbs. rice; 1.57,405 lbs. tobacco ; 37,.562 
lbs. wool ; 952 hhds. sugar, and 344,339 galls, of 
cane molasses. The live stock had a value of 
$5,212,157, and comprised 11,902 horses, 8,835 mules 
and asses, 61,922 milch cows ; .322,701 other cat- 
tle ; 26,509 sheep, and 158,908 swine. 

The farms had 736,172 acres of improved land, 
1,425,786 acres of woodland, and 211,5S;i of unim- 
proved land. Their cash value was $9,947,920, 
and the value of all farm productions, including 
additions to stock, etc., $8,909,746. The orcliard 
products had a value ot $53,639, and the slaugh- 
tered animals of $520,966. 

Manufactures. — The value of the products of 
manufactures according to the last census was 
$4,685,403 ; of materials consumed tlierein, $2,- 
330,873; of capital invested, $1,679,930. The 
amount of wages paid was $989,930, and the 
number of hands employed, in the 6.59 inanufac- 
tories, 2,749. The principal productions were 
flour and meal ($508,388), . and sawed lumber 
($2/23.5,780). 

Commerce and Railroads. — The commerce of 
Fla. is limited to the importation of commodi- 
ties required for home consumption, and the 
exportation of its products, mostly lumber, cot- 
ton, sugar, etc. The direct foreign commerce is 
unimportant. The state has seven ports of entrv, 
viz.: Fernandina, St. Johns, St. Augustine, Ke'y 
West, St. Marks, Apalachicola and Pensacola. 
Their registered, enrolled and licensed vessels 
numbered 244, with 15,780 tons of Inirden. The 
foreign imports had a value of $267,271, and the 
domestic exports of $1,662,276. 

In 18o2 Fla. had 402 mis. of r.ailroads, and in 
1872, 466 mis. The principal lines are the .Jack- 
eon ville, Pensacola & Mobile K. H., connecting 
Lake City with Chattahoochee,and with branch- 



es to Monticcllo & St. Marks, 176 mis. long, and 
the Flori(Ui 11. B., from Fernandina to Cedar 
Keys, 1.52 mis. 

Education. — In 1870 Fla. had a total of 377 
schools ; 226 of which were public and had 265 
teachers and 10,1.32 pupils. The 10 classical, pro- 
fessional and technical schools or academies 
ha<l 32 teachers and 580 pui)ils. 

The 23 newspapers published in the state in 
1870 had a circulation of 10.545. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.—'V\\c. last census 
reports the estimated value of real and per- 
sonal property as high as $44,163,6.55, but the as- 
sessed value is $32,480,043; of which real estate 
embraced $20,197,601, and personal property $12,- 
28;i,1.52. The state taxes in 1870 amounted to 
$248,768; the county taxes to, $168,389, and tho 
town and city taxes to $79,009. 

The state debt in that year was $3,474,5.35; the 
county debts, $143,041, and the town and city 
debts, $4.54.100. The state debt has since then 
greatly increased, and was estimated in 1872 at 
$5,307,805, or over $28 per head of the population. 

Government. — The new .state constitution was 
adopted in Febru.ary, 1868. It provides that 
slavery .shall not exist in the state ; that there 
shall be no civil or political distinction on ac- 
count of color, and that the state shall ever re- 
main a member of the American Union. The 
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor are choseu 
by the qualified electors and hold their offices 
for four years. The Secretary of State, Trea- 
surer, Comptroller, Attorney-General, Superin- 
tendent of Public Instruction, Commissioner of 
Immigration and Adjutsuit-General are ap- 
pointed by the Governor and confirmed by the 
Senate. 

The members of the Assemblj', 53 in number, 
are chosen biennially, and the 24 Senators for a 
term of four years. The sessions of the Legis- 
lature are annually held on the first Tuesday 
after tlie first Monday in January and may ex- 
tend to 60 days. Special sessions couveniHl by 
the Governor cannot .sit over 20 days. B very- 
male of 21 years of age and over, who is a citi- 
zen of the United States, or who shall have de- 
clared his Intention of becoming such, .and who 
shall have resided in Fla. for one year and 
in the county for six months, next preceding 
the election at which he shall offer to vote, shall 
be deemed a qualified elector. 

The judicial power of the state is vested in a 
Supreme Court, Circuit Courts, County Courts 
and justices of the peace. The Supreme Court 
consists of a Chief Justice and two Associate 
Justices, who hold their offices for life or during 
good behavior. They are appointed by the 
Governor and confirmed 1)3' the Senate. The 
Supreme Court holds three sessions annually 
at the state capitol. It has appellate jurisdic- 
tion. There are 7 Circuit Judges, appointed by 
the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, wlio 
hold their offices for 8 years, and the state is 
divided into 7 judicial districts. The judge 
must reside in the district to which he is as- 
signed. Tho Circuit Courts have original juris- 
diction in all cases in which the Supreme Court 
has appellate jurisdiction, and they have final 
jurisdiction in all Civil cases arising in the 
county courts, in which the amount of con- 
troversy is $100 and more, and in all cases of 
misdemeanor. The county judges arc also ap- 
pointed by the Governor and confirmed by 
the Senate, and each judge holds his office for 
four years. 

The state capital is Tallahassee. 

Florida is divided into the following 39 coun- 
ties : Alachua, IJaker, IJradford, Brevard. Cal-

1860, 4,605. If extends from the high crest of 
the Sierra Nevada on the N. E. to the Diablo 
Mts., one of the principal coast ranges. The 
eastern partis mountainous and extremely 
rugged, being occupied by the spurs of tli'e 
Sierra, which are cut by t'remenilous chasms 
and canons through which the upper course 
of the San Joaquin and its tributaries flow. 
The centr.al part comprises a section of the 
San Joaquin Valley, and is a level plain, dry 
and arid, so as to produce but little grass. 
Here there are no streams during tlie sum- 
mer; the winter rains even. sometimes fail to 
start the water in the dry beds of the creeks. 
The western part, belonging to the coast- 
range region, is mountainous, and is not oidy 
supplied with grass and water, but also a 
sparse growth of oak and scrubby pine tim- 
ber. Ihe principal stream is the San Joa- 
quin, which rises iu the high Sierra, flows at 



first S. W. and then turns to the N. W. The 
Fresno R., Chowchilla R. and Cottonwood Cr. 
are its main tributaries. Kings K. traverses 
the southern part of the co., and during the 
wet season sends offa branch, the Kings River 
Slough, to the San Joaquin. The agricultu- 
ral resources of the co., owing to the remote- 
ness from a market and the exceedingly dry- 
summers, have been but very little devel- 
oped. Large herds of cattle and sheep are 
kept by tlie inhabitants. Millerton is the co. 
seat. Agr. productions in 1870 : AVheat, 19,-

GKORGIA, one of the original 13 states of 
the Union ; is bounded on the N. by Tenn. and 
N. C; on the S. by Fla.; on the E. by the 
Atlantic Ocean and by S. C, from which it is 
eeparated bv the Savannah R., and on the W. 
by Ala. and"Fla. It extends from30° 21' 40" to 35° 
N. lat., and from 80'^ 52' to 85'^ 35' 38" W. long. 
The area is 58,000 sq. nils., or 37,120,000 acres. 

Surface. — A level or but slightly undulating 
philn extends inlaml from the Atlantic Ocean, 
varying in widtli from 1(K) to 150 nils., anil con- 
sisting of alluvial soil. Tliecoast (128mls. long), 
is indented bj' numerous sounds ami inlets, 
which separate a series of low, sandy islands 
from the main land. These are as follows: 
Tybee Island, lietween the mouth of the Savan- 
nah R. and Warsaw sound ; Ossabaw Island, be- 
tween Ossabaw and iit. Catharine sounds ; ibt. 



Catharine Island, between the last-named sound 
ami Sapelo Sound; Sapelo Island ; St. Simon's 
Island, south of Altemaha Sound ; .Jvkill Island, 
south of St Simon's Sound, and Cumberland 
Islan<l, between St. Andrews and Cumberland 
sounds. Along the coast extends a belt of 
swamps,the largest of which is the Okeflnokeein 
Ware and Clinch cos., and further inland are the 
so-called " Pine Barrens," which extend from 
the lower course of the Savannah R. in a south, 
westerly direction into Ala., and have an aver- 
age breadth of about 20 mis. Beyond the Pine 
Barrens is a broad belt of hilly lands, which is 
in some parts diversified by isolated ridges and 
peaks, as the Dug Down Mt. trending from Ala. 
through Polk and Paulding cos., and terminat- 
ing W. of the village of Dallas ; the Kenesaw 
Mt., near Marietta, Cobb co., the summit of 
which affords a view over a wide extent of 
country : and the Stone or Rock Mt., in DeKalb 
CO., an "isolated peak rising abruptly from the 
low plain to a height of 2,220 feet above the sea, 
and devoid of tree or shrub. The mountain 
region, which oconpies the northern part of the 
state, comprises the southern extremities of 
the Appalachian System. The Blue Ridge ex- 
tends from N. C. through Rabun and Towns 
cos. to the borders of Bartow co., gradually 
diminishing in height from the N. E. to the S. 
W. Its spurs and extensions bi'anch off in a 
north-westerly direction, as the Stansbury Mts., 
lietween the Notteley and Toccoa Rs.; and the 
Frog Mts., which form the water-shed between 
the Coosawatee and the Toccoa Rs. The N. W. 
portion of Georgia, lying W. of Oostanatila R. 
and Coychattee Cr., is traversed by a series of 
parallel ranges which are separated from each 
other by narrow valleys. The most eastern of 
these is'Chattoogata Mt.; then follow successive- 
Iv John's Mt., Taylors Ridge, Cliickamauga 
Hill, Pigeon ^It., Missionary Ridge, the northern 
portion of the elevated Lookout Mt., and at last 
the broad heights of Raccoon Mt. Thus Georgia 
presents every variety of surface, from the low 
sandy beach, broad swamps and marshes, level 
plains covered with forests of the long-leaved 
southern pine, to gently undulating hills and 
lofty mountains, abounding in grand and im- 
pressive scenery. 

Rivers. — The Savannah R., which divides Ga. 
from S. C, is forme<l by the confluence near 
Andersonville. S. C. of "the Tujjaloo and Keo- 
wee Rs. The Tugaloo is formed by the Cliatuga 
and Tallulah Hs., which rise in f lie Blue Ridge. 
The Savannah is 4.50 mis. long, and is navigable 
to Augu-;ta, 230 mis. above its mouth. Its 
largest ti'il>utary is Broad R., formed by tbo 
North and South" Forks. The Ogeechee R. tlow\ 
parallel with the Savannah, and empties into 
Ossabaw Sound. The Oconee and Oomulgee 
Rs. rise in the central portion of the state,'and 
form, by their junction near Colquit, the Alta- 
malia, which empties into the sound of the 
same name. Steamboats ascend the .Vltamalia 
and its source streams as far as Macon and 
Milledgeville. The south-eastern counties of 
Ga. are drained by the Satilla and St. Mary's 
Rs., which are navigable for about 40 mis., and 
the southern counties by the Suwanoochue, Al- 
lai>ali!i and Withlacooclie Rs., which enter Fla. 
and there form the Suwanee R. The Oeloeko- 
nee R. also passes into Fla. The Flint R. rises 
in Clayton co., and after a southerly course of 
300 mis. joins the Chattahoochee Ti,. near the 
south-western corner of the state, to form the 
Apalachicola. It is navigable as far as Albany, 
Dougherty CO. The souiees of the Chattahoo- 
chee are In the Blue Ridge, ami this larae 
stream intersects the state from N. E. to S. W. 
to West Point, whence it flows S., separating Ga. 
from Ala., to its juneticJn with the Flint. The 
Chattahoochee is navigable for large steam- 
boats to Columbus, about .TiO mis. from the 
Gulf of Mexico. Northern Ga. is drained by 
the Etowah and Oostanaula lis., which rise ou

the opposite slopes of the Blue Ridge, have a 
westerly course and join at Home to form the 
Coosa li., one of the source streams of the Ala- 
bama K. The north-western corner of the state 
is drained by several small affluents of the 
Tennessee R., the most important of which are 
Kast, Middle and West Chickamaui^a Ors., which 
latter intersects jMcLamore's Uove between 
Pigeon Mt. anti Missionary Ridge, Chattanooga 
Cr. and Lookout Cr., which traverses the valley 
between Lookout and Raccoon Mts. X small 
portion of Ga., lying N. of the Blue Ridge, is 
arained Viy the Toccoa and Notteley Rs., tribu- 
taries of the Hiawassee R. of Tenn. The 
mountainous iiortiou of Ga. abounds in pictur- 
esque waterfalls. A few mis. from Clarksville, 
Habersham co., are the Toccoa Falls, where the 
Tallulah R. falls over a perpendicular, rocky 
wall of 180 feet in height. The cataracts of 
Tallulah, or Terrora, 12 mis. from Clarksville, 
are very grand and impressive. The streani frets 
and foams through a ravine or glen over 1,000 
feet deep, with overhanging sides, and descends 
ovei- a succession of rocky precipices. The 
Falls of the Kstatoiahare formed by ati affluent 
ci'eek of tlie Ivittle Tennessee li , in Rabun Gap 
of the Blue Ridge. N. of tlie v. of Clayton. The 
Falls of Amicolah, in Lumpkin c6., 17 mis. 
W. of Dahlonega, have a descent of 400 feet in 
as many yards. In Monroe co. the Towaliga R., 
atributary of the Ocmulgee, flows swiftly over 
a rocky ledge and forms two precipitous falls. 

Climate and Vcgelalion. — T?he ilitTereiicc in 
height above the sea and in latitude produ- 
ces a striking difference in temperature be- 
tween the northern and southern parts of Ga. 
While in the former, the warmest season is in- 
vigorating and delightful, the summer heat in 
.the latter is often very opijressive. At Atlanta 
the mean annual teinperature is nearly ()0° 
Fahr.; the maximum on hottest day, 9;i° ; and 
the minimum on the coldest day, "l(>° ; at Sa- 
vannah the thermometer rises in summer about 
100°, and falls in winter lielow 30°. Ga. is 
abundantly supplied with niagniflcent forests. 
These consist, in the mountainous and central 
portions, of deciduous trees ; in the sandy bar- 
rens of the live oak and the valuable southern 
pine, yielding masts and shii> timber, and in 
the swamps and marshes of cedar and cypress. 
The vegetation along the coast is semi-tropical. 
Here are found the graceful palmetto, a species 
of palm ; the magnolia, laur<-l, jessamine and 
other evergreens, interspersed with vines anil 
creepers of great variety, bearing in the spring 
the most brilliant flowers. 

Population. — The poiiulatiou of Ga. has stead- 
ily increased shice the state was organized. In 
1790 it was S-.!,.'5tS ; in ISOO, l(J-2,6S(i ; in 1810, 25-2,4:)3 ; 
in 1820, ;it0,985 ; in 1830, 51().S23 ; in 1840, 091,392 ; in 
18.50, 905,185 ; in ISiO, 1,0.57,2«(;, and in 1870, 1,184,109. 
Of the last number there were t)38,92(i whites; 
54.5,142 colored persons ; 1 Chinaman, and 40 In- 
dians. \V\t\\ regard to nativity the inhabitants 
are classified in the last census as follovvs : born 
in the United States, 1,172,982, including 1,033,962 
natives of the state ; born in foreign countries, 
11,127, including 2,700 Germans, 1,088 English- 
men, and 5.093 Irishmen. 

The number of inhabitants of 10 vears of age 
and over was, in 1870, 8;i5,929, and of these there 
were 444,678 persons engaged in the useful occu- 
pations. In a.griculture were engaged 336,145 
persons ; in personal and professional services, 
64,083; in trade and transportation. 17,410; and 
in manufactures, mining and mechanical occu- 
pations, 27,040. 

Minerals and Mining.— Iron ores of the very 
best quality abound in various parts of the 
state, especially in Cass and Cherokee counties. 
Copper occurs in the northern districts, known 
as the Cherokee couutr.v, and numerous mines 
have been opened ; a few of which onlv are 
worked with profit. Gold is found in limited 
quantities, and, before the Cal. discovery, was 



considered of sufficient importance to sup- 
ply a United States Mint at Dahlonega with the 
metal. Mineral and medicinal springs occur 
in various portions of Ga., as the Madison 
Sprini^s, 7 mis. from Danielsville, Madison co.; 
the Warm Springs in Meriwether co., 36 nils, 
from Columbus, and 6 mis. 8. of them the Row- 
land Springs ; the Sulphur Springs, 6 mis. N. of 
Gainesville; the Red Sulphur Springs at the 
foot of Taylor's Ridge in Walker co., and the 
Powder Springs, containing sulphur and mag- 
nesia, in Cobb CO., 20 mis. fioin Atlanta. 

Agricullure is uy far the most important 
branch of industry in the state, and, as so much 
of the soil is highly productive, will be the 
great source of wealth for years to come. Cot- 
ton is the principal product. In 1860, 701,840 
bales of 400 lbs. each were harvested ; in 1870, 
473,934 bales. Sea Island cotton, which is the 
most valuable variety on account of its long, 
silky fiber, is grown on the islands near the 
coast ; Upland cotton in the interior. The rice 
crop of 1870 was 22,277,380 lbs., mostly grown in 
Chatham, Mcintosh, Camden and Bryan coun- 
ties. The product of Indian-corn was 17,646,4.59 
bush.; of spring wheat, 308,890 bush.; of winter 
wheat, 1,818,127 bush.; of oats, l,904,tiOl ; of Irish 
pot's, 197,101 bush.; of sweet pot's, 2,621, .562 ; 
of butter, 4,499,592 lbs.; of wool, 846.947 lbs., 
and of tobacco, 288,.596 lbs. The live stock had a 
value of $30,15 ;,317, and comprised 81,777 horses, 
87,426 mules and asses, 231,310 milch cows, 54,332 
working oxen, 412,261 other cattle, 419,465 sheep 
and 988,,566 swine. 

The land in farms had an area of 23,647,941 
acres, of which 6,831,856 acres were improved 
and 12,928,084 were woodland. The cash value 
of farms was $94,5.59,468, and the estimated value 
of farm productions, including betterments 
and additions to stock, .$80,390,228. 

Manufactures. — Before the war Ga. had 
made considerable progress in the establish- 
ment of manufactories, and has resumed it 
since the return of peace. In 1870 there were 
3,836 establishments, and the value of manu- 
factures amounted to $.'51,196,115 against $16,92,5,- 
564 in 1860. The capital invested in 1870 was 
$13,930,125 ; the wages paid, $4,844,508 ; the ma- 
terials consumed, $18,,583,731, and the hands 
employed, 17,871. The principal articles pro- 
duced " and their value were as follows : Flour 
and meal, $11,202,029; sawed lumber, $1,044,375 
and cotton goods, $3,648,973 (against $3,027,377 
hi 1860). 

Commercial and Railroads. — The^. domestic 
commerce of Ga. is increasing, but direct 
foreign commerce is inconsiderable. The state 
has three ports of entry. Savannah, Brunswick 
and St. Mary's. They liad, in 1870, 85 vessels (28 
of which were steamers), with a tonnage of 
15,828; they imported goods to the amount of 
$1,383,727, and exported domestic goods to the 
amount of $33,442 520, consisting chiefly of cot- 
ton and ship-buihling materials. 

The railroail mileage in 1872 was 2,108, show- 
ing a very great increase since 1862, when it was 
1,420. The state has the following 10 railroad 
lines: Atlanta & West Point, 87 mis.; Atlantic 
& Gulf, 347 mis., the main line of which con- 
nects Savannah with Bainbridge ; Central, 
192 mis., connecting Savannah with Macon; 
Georgia, 232 inls., connecting Augusta with At- 
lanta, Camack with Warrington, Barnett with 
Washington and Union Point with Athens; 
Macon & Augusta, 78 mis.; Macon & Brunswick, 
197 mis.; Maeon & Western, 102 mis., connecting 
Macon with Atlanta ; Rome, 20 mis., connect- 
ing Rome with Kingston ; Southwestern, 257 
mis., conneetintj: Macon with Enfaula, Ala.; Fort 
Valley with Columbus. Smithville with Al- 
bany, and Cuthbert with Fort Gaines, and 
Western & Atlantic. 138 mis., connecting Atlar.ta 
with Chattanooga, Tenn.

Hudson Bivcr, in N. Y., one of the most im- 
portant streams of the continent ; is formed 
by tliCconfluence of two small creeks in the 
Adirondack Mts., Essex co. The course of 
the Hudson in the mountain region is wind- 
ing and irregular; but at Sandy Hill, Wash- 
ington CO., it assumes a southerly course, 
which it pursues with slight deviations to its 
entrance into New York B. Its hMigtb is 
somewhat over 300 mis.; and below Troy, to 
which city it is navigable, its width varies 
between 300 and 1,000 yards. In its lower 
course it expands into wide basins. Such are 
Haverstraw B., above Croton Point, and Tap- 
pan Sea, below that point. The Hudson is fa- 
mous for the inagnllicent scenery on its 
shores, and in this respect fully equiils the 
Rhine in Gennany. The most beautiful part 
of its course is where it breaks through the 
Highlands above and below West Point; 
mountains of from 1,.500 to 2,000 ft. in eleva- 
tion here rise precipitously from the banks. 
The Hudson has but few 'large tributaries, 
and these all loin it from the W., as Sacon- 
daga It., Mohawk R., Esopus Cr., Rondout Cr., 
with Wallkill, etc. The eastern tributaries 
are small creeks. The largest steaml)oats as- 
cend it to Albany, 142 nils, aliove its mouth at 
New York ; and 6 mis. higher up, to Troy, 
smaller boats find a sufHcient depth of water. 
The Hudson was named after Uendrick Hud- 
son, who first explored it.

The N. W. section is characterized bv high 
basaltic table-lands, cut up bv deep ravines 
•with high precipitous sides. In many placea 
large areas— sometimes several miles in length 
andbreadth— appear to have sunk bodily be-

valleys with rugged, wall-like boundaries, 
varying from a f(nv hundred to a thousand 
feet in height. The Lake and Granite ranges 
form the W. boundarv: the Rabbit Hole Mts., 
Antelope Mts., Quinn's River Mts., Eugene

of the Mud Lakes, is an extensive region, 
covered during the rainy season with alkaline 
water. The Quinn's R. enters the co. from the 
N. and terminates in a sink N. of the Black 
Rock Desert. In the S. E. section of this co. 
there are numerous mining districts, located 
mostly in the Humbolilt Mts. and the East 
Range. They produce gold and silver and 
are among the richest of the state. The S.

Huron, Lake lies between 80° and 80° 40' W. 
long., and is bounded by the state of Midi, and 
the Canadian Dominion. It is connected with 
Lake Michigan by the Strait of Mackinaw, 
and with Lake Superior by the St. Mary's II. 
The outlet is the &t. Clair R., at its southern 
extremity. The long peninsula of Cabot's 
Head and the chain of the Manitouline Islands 
separate its western part from its eastern, 
called the Georgian B. The greatest length 
from N. W. to S. E. is 275 mis., and the aver-

20,400 sq. mis. The surface of the lake is 13 
feet liigher than Lake Erie, 347 feet higher 
than Lake Ontario and 578 feet above the sea' 
level. The depth exceeds in many parts 1,00(>

IDAHO, one of the western territories ; is 

bounded on the N. by British Columbia, on the 

S. by Nev. and Utah Ter., on the E. by Mont. 

Ter. and VVyo. Ter., and on the W. by Wash. 

Ter. and Oregon. It extends from 42° to 49° N. 

lat., and from 111° to 117° W. long., and has an 

area of 86,294 sq. mis., or 55,228,160 acres. The 

length from N. to S. is 410 mis.; the width on 

the southern boundary, 385 ; on the northern, 50. 
6'ji'"/ace.— Idaho Ter. is a mountainous coun- 



try. The Bitter Root Mts., a chain of tlie Rocky 
Mountain System, form the north-eastern boun- 
dary, separating the territory from Mont. Ter., 
and tlieir spurs and extensions occupy a large 
portion of its surface. Such spurs are "the Koo- 
tenay, or Kootanie, Mts. in the N., the Coeur 
d'AliCne Mts., near the 47th parallel, find the 
Lupway Mts., which intersect Idaho Ter. from 
E. to "NV"., near the Clearwater R. The principal 
Rocky Mountain chain, sweeping in a wide 
curve around the sources and upper streams of 
the Missouri R., separates the southern portion 
of Idaho Ter. from Mont. Ter., and the Teton 
range, which latter branches otf from the Rocky 
Mts. in a southerly direction, and nearly co- 
incides with the boundary between Idaho 
Ter. and Wyo. Ter. The Bear River Mts., the 
Goose Creek Mts, and other ranges, enter into 
southern Idaho Ter. from Utah Ter. and Nev., 
while the Salmon River Mts., forming an intri- 
cate system of numerous ranges, occupy the 
entire central portion of the territory. The 
peaks and crests of nearly all these chains are 
covered with perpetual snow, feeding numer- 
ous brooks and torrents, which deeply furrow 
their sides. 

Rivers and Lakes. — A small district in the 
south-eastern corner of Idaho Ter. is drained by 
the Bear R., an affluent of the Great Salt Lake 
of Utah Ter. With this single exception the 
rivers of the territory are tributaries of the 
Columbia R. The Kootanie, or Flat Bow, R., 
waters the extreme north-eastern portion. The 
Clark Fork of the Columbia R. intersects Idaho 
Ter. from E. to W., near the 48th parallel, and 
passes through the beautiful mountain lake 
of Pend d'Oreille. South of this is the Coeur 
d'AUene Lake, which receives the river of the 
same name and the two forks of the St. Joseph. 
R., and from which emerges the Spokane R. 
The largest stream of Idaho Ter. is the Snake 
R., which rises in a small mountain lake of 
Wyo. Ter., flows S. through a romantic valley 
between the Wind River and Teton ranges, then 
turns N. W., and near 112° W. long, begins its 
westward course through the plains and prai- 
ries of southern Idaho Tor., which extend be- 
tween the Salmon River Mts. and the chains or 
table-lands near the southern boundary. In 
43° 48' N. lat. it makes a great bend to the north- 
ward, and thence forms the western boundary 
of Idaho Ter. for a distance of 150 mis. Passing 
through eastern Wash. Ter. it joins the Colum- 
bia R. K. of Old Fort AValla Walla. Its course 
through the plains of the territory is inter- 
rupted by several cascades, the most famous of 
which are the Shoshone Falls, in long. 114° 20', 
as high as those of Niagara and 60(J ft. wide. 
Above these are the American Falls, and below, 
near the mouth of the Malade R., tliC Salmon 
Falls. The southern tributaries of the Snake 
R. are Blackfoot Cr., Port NeufR., Goose Cr., 
Salmon Falls R. and Bruneau R.; the northern, 
Henry's Fork, issuing from Henry Lake near 
the Mont, boundary ; Malade R., draining the 
southern extremity of the Salmon River Mts., 
Boise R., Payette Cr. and Wiser Cr. Salmon 
R. having its sources on the northern slopes of 
those ranges, which derive from it their name, 
flows N. to Fort Lemhi and then W. to its junc- 
tion with the Snake R. Clearwater R. rises in 
the Bitter Root Mts. and joins the Snake near 
Lewiston. Paloose R. drains the northern 
slopes of the Lapway Mts. and flows westward 
to its junction with the Snake R. in Wash. Ter.

ILION. 



The Snake R. is navigable from its moutli as 
far up as Lewiston ; but alcove this point for 
about 200 mis. to the mouth of Powder 11., 
(Oreg'.) the stream is shallow and swift, ren- 
deriug navigation tlifflcult and often danger- 
ous. Above tne mouth of Powder R. light 
draft steamers navigate the Snake R. through 
south-western Idaho Ter. during the greater 
part of the year. 

Climate and Vegetation. — Northern Idalio has 
a cool climate, owing to its high latitude and its 
great elevation above the sea. The rain-fall is 
sufficient for the support of vegetation, and 
the mountain slopes are generally covered with 
magnificent pine forests. The climate of south- 
ern Idaho is warmer, but also more arid, though 
not so dry, as that of Utah and Nevada. Forests 
are also less abundant than farther N., and 
the fertile valleys of the streams and the ex- 
tensive prairies and plains are mostly covered 
"With grasses and lierbs. The wild sage brush, 
or Artemisia, covers the more sterile portions 
of tliese plains. On the whole it may be said, 
Idalio has a salubrious climate ; the air is every- 
where pure, fresh and invigorating. 

Population. — Idaho is as yet but thinly settled, 
the population numbering, in 1870, only 14,999, 
Including 10,618 whites, 00 colored persons and 
4,274 Chinese. The total number of Indians was 
estimated at 5,631,'Of whom 5,584 sustained tri- 
bal relations, including 3,284 who were settled 
on reservations, and 2,300 wandering bands. 
The natives of the United States numbered 
7,114 (nearly all whites) ; the foreign-born in- 
habitants, 7,885, including 1,233 Germans, 539 
Englishmen, 98*5 Irishmen, 114 Scotchmen, 335 
Welshmen, and 4,267 Chinamen. 

The number of persons engaged in all classes 
of occupations was 10,879, viz.: in agricul- 
ture, 1,462 ; in professional and personal services, 
1,423; in trade and transportation, 721; in min- 
ing and mechanical industries, 7,273. 

Mining is as yet tlie most important occupa- 
tion in the territory. The"Alta California" 
estimates tlie total gold and silver product for 
1872 at $2,514,090. The Land-office Report for 1870 
states the bullion product to have been, during 
the preceding year, $7 000,000, which is probably 
too high. The principal mines are in Idaho 
CO., Avhich embraces portions of the Salmon 
River Mts., Nez Perces co. and Boise co. Rich 
silver mines are situated near Ruby City and 
Silver City, in the Owyhee Range. 

Agriculture. — The arable surface of Idaho fit 
for profitable farming is estimated at 16,925,000 
acres, and the grazing surface at 5,000,000 acres. 
The valleys of the North Malade R., and other 
tributaries of the Snake, contain from 400 to 
500 sq. mis. each of excellent farm land. The 
valleys in Ada co., traversed by Wiser, Fayette 
and other creeks, are also fertile. The reser- 
vation set apart for the Shoshone Indians, in 
Oneida co., contains some of the finest land in 
the territory ; yet farming is in its infancy. 
Only 26,603 acres were improved in 1870. Tlie 
value of farms was ii!492,8(:0 ; of farm produc- 
tions, including additions to stock, $t;37,797 ; 
and of all live stock, $520,.580. The principal 
products were as follows : Spring wheat, 73,725 
Dush.; winter wheat, 1,925 bush.; rye, 1,756 bush.; 
Indian-corn, 5,750 bush.; oats, 100,119 bush.; bar- 
ley, 72,316 bush.; Irish pot's, 64,534 bush.; wool, 
3,415 lbs.; cheese, 4,464 lbs.; butter, 111,480 lbs.; 
hay, 6,985 tons. The number of liorses was 2,1,51 ; 
Of mules, 371 ; ot milch cows, 4,171 ; of working 
oxen, 522 ; of other cattle, 5,763 ; of sheep, 1,021, 
and of swine, 2,316. 

The North Pacific R. R. will intersect the ter- 
ritory along the course of the Salmon R. 

The Manufactures amounted in value, in 1870, 
to $1,047,624, including flour and meal, $211,010;

Education. — A public school system was or- 
ganized 111 Idaho soon after it was erected iato 



a territory. The law makes provision for the 
appointment or election of a Stiit<! Superinten- 
dent of Public Instruction, and of a County Su- 
perintendent for each county. In 1870 there 
were21 public schools with 26 teachers and 1,048 
puoils, and 4 private schools with 7 teachers 
and 160 pupils. His^-bcr insi it<ii ions of educa- 
tion have not yet been established. 

The six newspapers had, in 1S7U, a circulation 
of 2,750. 

Wealth and Taxation.— The total assessed 
value of real and personal estate in 1870 was 
$5,292,205 ($1,926,.565 for the former an<l $:j,365,640 
for the latter); but the estimated value was 
$6,.'x)2,681. The total taxation, not national, 
amounted to $174,711, and the public debt to 
$222,621, comprising $217,522 county debt and 
$4,099 town and city debt. 

Government.— The Governor and Secretarj- of 
State are appointed by the President for a term 
of four years ; the Treasurer, Ccmiptroller and 
Superintendent of Public Instruction are elect- 
ed by the people. The legislature comprises 
a council of 10 members, chosen for two years, 
and a House of Representatives of 20 members, 
chosen for one year. 

The Supreme Court consists cf a Chief Justice 
and two Associate Justices, appointed by the 
President for four years. It holds at least one 
session annually at the seat of government. 
The territory is divided into three judicial 
districts, in each of which one of the Supreme 
Court Justices holds a District Court session. 

Idaho is divided into the following counties: 
Ada, Alturas, Boise, Idaho, Kootenay, LemUi, 
Nez Perces, Oneida, Owyhee and Shoshone.

IliLINOIS, one of the central states ; is 
bounded on the N. by "Wis.; on the E. by Lake 
Michigan and the state of Ind.; on the S. by Kj-., 
from wliich it is separated by the Ohio R., and 
on the W. by Iowa and Mo., from which it is sepa- 
rated by tlie Mississippi R. It extends from 37° 
3' to 42° 30' N. lat. and from 87° 30' to 91° 40' W. 
long., and has an area of 55,410 sq. mis., or 35,- 
462.400 acres. 

Surface.— 111. is a plain, gently sloping from the 
N. and K. toward the Mississippi and Ohio Rs. 
The table-land which occupies Wis. extends in- 
to the northern portions of the state. Another 
elevated region includes Ford and the adjacent 
cos. Neither of these two portions of the state 
exceed 800 feet in height above the sea, while 
the most southern parts near the confluence of 
the Ohio and Mississippi Rs. are but 3.50 feet 
high. No mountain chains intersect 111., but it 
Is by no means an unbrolten plain. The alluvial 
soil, of which the state almost entirely consists, 
easily gives way to the erosive power of flow- 
ing water, and consequently most of the streams 
have cut their beds deeply into the yielding 
ground, so that their valleys and flood grounds 
are bordered by more or less precipitous slopes 
and blulfs, Avhicli often give the country a 
rough and broken aspect. The lead region in 
the north-western corner is the most uneven 
and hilly portion of 111. 

Rivers and Lakes.— III. is included almost en- 
tirely in the drainage system of the Mississippi, 
■whicili flows along its western border. Lake 
Micliigan, which washes the N. E. corner, re- 
iceives but a few insignificant tributaries, so 
that the St. Lawrence system includes but the 
-narrow littoral of the great lake. Rock. R. 

■ enters the state from Wis., and joins the Missis- 
sippi at Rock Island. The largest stream in- 
.tersecting the state is the Illinois R., which is 
iformed by the confluence, near Shermanville, 
■of the De's Plaines R. and the Kankakee R. It 
■flows W. as far as Hennepiri, and thence S. S. W. 
into the Mississippi, 15 mis. above Alton. In 
"Woodford and Peoria cos. its bed expands, 
forming Peoria. Lake. This stream drains a 
large portion of the state and receives numer- 
ous alnuents ; from the N. and W. are Fox R., 

:Spoon R., La Main R., and from the S. and E. 
the Vermillion. R., Mackinaw R., Sangamon R. 
and Macoupin Cr. The Kaskaskia R. rises in 
Champaign co., and has a S. S. W. course, join- 
ing the Mississippi near Chester, in Randolph 
CO. The Ohio waslies the southern border of 
the state, and its tributary, the Waliash, the 
south-eastern. The Ohio receives no affluent of 
importance in the state ; the Wabash several, 
as the Little Wabash R., the Embarras R. and 
the Big Vermillion R., which has a south-east- 
erly course, and joins the main stream in Ind. 

The Climate of 111. is marked by great ex- 
■tremes. The summers are very warm ; the win- 
ters very cold. The range of temperature, ob- 
served in 1859, at Peoria, was 117° Fahr.; and at 
Biley, 123°. The maximum observed at tlie for- 
mer place was 104° (July) ; the minimum, — 13° 
(December). The suihiner heat is generally 
however tempered by fresh breezes, so that 
farm labor is not thereby interrupted. The 
mean temperature of the year in 40° lat. is 
. about 51° ; of the summer 77°, and of the winter 
33)^°. At Beloit the mean annual temperature 
is 47>^^° : and at Cairo, 583>^°, thus showing a 
marked ditference between the northern and 
soutliern extremities of the state. Southerly 
and south-westerly winds greatly prevail ; dur- 
ing the winter months only, are northerly and 
north-easterly winds in excess. About 245 days 

■ of the year are clear, and but 120 days rainy or 
cloudy. The climate is on the whole salubrious, 
except in the low and swampy bottom-lands, 



where the settlers are often afflicted with chills 
and fevers. 

Large portions of 111. consist of prairies. The 
"Grand Prairiej" between the affluents of the 
Wabash and ]\Iississippi, extends nearly across 
the state, from Jackson co. to Iroquois co., 
varying in width from 5 to 20 mis., being inter- 
sected by numerous small wood-land areas, ia 
in reality a series of prairies. In other parta 
of the state other prairies are also found. 
They have a rich and very deep soil, consi^sting 
of alluvium and mould, and as they produce in 
the spring and early summer a great abundance 
of wild flowers of various colors, thev then pre- 
sent a most beautiful appearance. But in the 
hot season, when the sun has seared and burned 
their covering of flowers and gi-asses, they are 
by no means attractive. 111. has enough 
wood-land to supply the home requirements. 
The trees commonly found are various species 
of maple, oak, walnut, hickory, ash and lime 
trees, etc. In the S. and E. yellow poplars and 
birches are abundant, and on the borders of the 
Ohio are found cedars and yellow pines. 

Population. — 111. is one of the most rapidly- 
growing states of the Union. The number of 
inhabitants according to the decennial census 
reports has been as follows : 

Inc. in 
• per cent. 

ISIO 12,282

I860.- 1,711,951 101 

1870 2,539,891 48 

The white population greatly predominates, 
being, in 1870, 2,.511,096. The remainder included 
28,762 colored persons, 15 Chinese and 32 Indians. 
With regard to nativity, the census gives the 
following numbers : Natives of the United 
States; 2,024,693 (including 1,189,503 natives of the 
state; 86,807 of Ind.; 11,384 of Iowa ; 67.702 of Kv.; 
12,588 of Md.; 22,166 of Mass.; 30,872 of Mo.; 8,213 of 
N. H.; 16,3;« of N. J.; 133,491 of N. Y.; 163,012 of 
Ohio; 98,614 of Pa.; 47,514 ofTenn.; 18,515 of Vt.: 
35,742 of Va. and W. Va.; and 12,771 of Wis.); 
natives of foreign countries, 515,198 ; including 
32,5.50 of British America, 203,758 Germans, 53,- 
866 Englishmen, 120,162 Irishmen, 15,733 Scotch- 
men, 4,180 Dutchmen, 29,979 Swedes, and 8,980 
Swiss. 

In the various useful occupations there were 
engaged 742,015 persons. Of these there were 
in agriculture, 376,441; in professional and per- 
sonal services, 151,931 ; in trade and transporta- 
tion, 80,422 ; and in manufactures and mechani- 
cal and mining industries, 133,221. 

Mineral Resources. — The productive coal 
measures occupy the portion of 111. lying S. of 
a line drawn from Rock R. in a westerly direc- 
tion to La Salle co., and thenee S. E. to the 
state boundary. Their area is estimated at 
45,000 sq. mis., but their depth is not great. The 
coal is bituminous, and contains from 4 to 20 per 
cent, of incombustible materials. In 1870 over 
400 coal mines were in operation, and the pro- 
duct amounted to 2,500,000 tons. Joe Daviesa 
CO. belongs to the great lead region of the north- 
ern Mississippi. Tlie ore is a silver-bearing 
galena, and from this mineral the city of Galena 
derives its name. Copper abounds In northern 
111., on the Peckatonlea R. and Plum Cr. Lime, 
zinc, freestone, gypsum and a flue, varlagated 
marble are among the other mineral treasures. 
Cbalybeate and sulphur springs are found in 
JetfeVson co. ; other medicinal springs between 
Ottawa and Peru,.and salts springs in Jackson, 
Vermillion and Gallatin cos. 

Agriculture. — 111. surpasses any other state in 
the Union in the fertility of its soil. Some of the 
prairies and bottom-lands are said to be over- 
laid by loam and mould from 25 to 100 feet 
thick. The *' American Bottom," on the Missis-

sippi, between the moutlis of Kaslcaskia anrl 
Missouri Rs., contains 288,000 acres of the 
very richest hind, and tlie narrower bottoms of 
Other streams are not less fertile. 

The improved land amounted to 19,329,952 
acres in ISTO, or more tlian one-half the total 
areaof the state ; the wooiUand to 5,061,578 acres, 
and the other unimproved land in farms to 
1,491,331 acres. The cash value of farms was $920,- 
506,346 ; the estimated value of farm products, 
including betterments and increase of stock, 
$210,860,585; of orchard products, $3.5,71,789; ot 
market gardens, $765,992; of forest products, 
$1,087,144, and of animals slaughtered, $5^,718,944. 
The farms produced 10,133,207 bush, of spring 
■wheat ; 19,995,198 hush, of winter wheat ; 2,456,578 
bush, of rye ; 129,921,395 bush, of Indian-corn ; 
42,780,851 bush, of oats; 2,480.400 bush, of barley; 
10,944,790 busli. of Irish pot's ; 322,641 bush, of 
sweet pot's ; 5,249,274 lbs. of tobacco ; 465 bales 
of cotton ; 5,739,249 lbs. of wool ; 111,882 gallons 
of wine ; 1,960,473 gallons of sorghum molasses ; 
36,080,405 lbs. of batter, and 2,747,339 tons of hay. 

The live stock had a value of $149,756,698, aiid 
comprised 853,738 horses, 8.5,075 asses and mules, 
640,321 milch cows, 19,766 working oxen, 1,0.5.5,- 
499 other cattle, 1,568,283 sheep, and 2,703,343 
swine. 

Manufactures In 111. have increased of late 
very rapidly. In 1870 there were 12,597 manu- 
facturing establislimout against 4,268 in 1860 ; 
and the total value of products had increased 
during the decade from $57,580,887 to $205,620,672. 
The manufacturing industry employed, in 1870, 
2,330 steam-engines with 73,091 horse-power, and 
82,979 hands, and consumed raw materials to the 
amount of $127,000,077. The capital invested 
was $94,368,057, and the amount of wages paid 
was $31,100,244. The counties most largely en- 
gaged in manufacturing were : Coles, including 
the city of Chicago, which turned out products 
to the amount of $92,518,742 ; Peoria, with $8,844.- 
493 worth of goods ; then follow Adams, liock 
Island, St. Clair, Kane, McLean and Winnebago. 
The products in detail amounted to the follow- 
ing values : Flour and meal, $43,876,775 ; packed 
pork, $19,818,851 ; agricultural implements, $8,- 
880,390; distilled liquors, $7,888,751 ; men's cloth-

$6,785,264 ; boots and shoes, $4,443,794 ; malt beer, 
14,154,224, etc. 

Commerce and Conirminica lions. — The situation 
of 111. with regard to commerce is highly favor- 
able. The Great Lakes ati'ord an outlet for its 
produce to the east and the Mississippi and 
Ohio Ks. to the south. A canal, 100 nils, long, 
has been constructed from Chicago to Peru, 
connecting the waters of Lake Michigan with 
those of the Mississippi. A net work of rail- 
roads connects every portion of the state with 
the great commercial centers of the countiy. 
The aggregate mileage of railroads has increas- 
ed from 2,998 in 1862 to 5,904 in 1872. H. V. Poor's 
Railroad Manual enumerates 15 lines, the most 
important of which are : The Belleville & South- 
ern Illinois 11. R., connecting Belleville with 
Duquoin (56 nils.); the Chicago & Alton R. R. 
(359 mis.); the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. 
R. (705 mis.); the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- 
cific R. R., (544 mis.); the Illinois Central R. R. 
(707 nils.), connecting Cairo with Dunleith and 
Centralia with Chicago; the Indianapolis, 
Bloomington & Western R. R. (202 mis.), con- 
necting Indianapolis, Ind., with Pekin ; the 
Peorra, Pekin & Jacksonville R. R. (83 mis.); 
the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis R. R., 
(319 mis.); the St. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute 
K. R. (219 rals.); the St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre 
Haute R. R. (158 mis.); the Toledo, Peoria & 
Warsaw B. R. (246 mis.), and the Western 
Union R. R. (180 mis.), connecting Kaciue, Wis., 
'With Savannah and Port Byron, 111. 

Education. — 111. is provided with most excel- 
lent scliools. lu 1870 there were 11,050 public 



schools, with 20,097 teachers (8,791 male anrt 11,. 

306 female); and 677,623 pupils. The total in- 
come of these schools was *7,8io,'>(!5, mostiv 
raised by taxation and public fun<ls. Tin; 80 
classical, professional and technical schools 
had 371 teachers and 11,755 pupils, and the 705 
other not public schools, 3,388 teaclicrs and 78.- 
397 pupils. The six universities liail 56 teachers 
and 1,277 students (includnig 1 1^ fcnudcs). 

The State Industrial UiiiviTsit v, I'ouiided by 
act of the legislature in 1S(;7. and located in 
Chanapaign co., was opened m Isiis. it iias over 
1,1100 acres of improved farming lands, 40 acrea 
of which have been set apart for gardens, nur- 
series and specimen orchards. The remainder 
is to be used for experimental and stock farms. 
The course of this institution is science, litera- 
ture and arts. Neither the classical nor modern 
languages are taught. The State Normal Uni- 
versity was opened in October, 1857, near the 
city of Bloomington, and is in a prosperous 
condition. 

In 1870 there were published in 111. 439 news- 
pai^ers and periodicals, viz.: 40 dailies, 14 semi 
and tri-weeklies, 328 weeklies, 10 semi-month- 
lies, 56 monthlies and 1 quarterlv. Among them 
were 27 German, 4 Swedish, 2 Danisli, 1 Bohe- 
mian and 1 French. Auiong the daily papers 
the following had the largest circulation ; "Chi- 
cago Times," 35,000 ; " Chicago Journal," 1.5.000; 
"Chicago Post," 15,000, and the "Staats Zeit- 
nng," 12,000. Among the weeklies: "Chicago 
Tillies," 45,000 ; " Chicago Advance," 21,000 ; 
"Chicago Prairie Parmer," 35,000; "Chicago 
Western Rural," 35.000; and among the month- 
lies : "Chicago Little Corporal," 60,000; "Chi- 
cago National Sunday-school Teacher," 40,000. 
Tlie state and school libraries contained .592,711 
volumes, and the Sunday-school libraries 501,273 
vol umes. 

Penal, Reformatory and Charitable Institutions. 
— The State Penitentiary is located at Joliet. A 
board of commissioners, having charge of the 
institution, is appointed by the Governor, and 
this board selects a warden, who has the gen- 
eral management of the prison. The labor of 
the convicts is leased to persons engaged in 
special pursuits ; but the state retains complete 
control of their discipline and government. 
The State Orphan School for juvenile offenders 
is located at Pontiae, and though but recently 
organized, is expected to exercise a salutary 
influence. The other charitable institutions ot 
the state are mostly located at .lacksonville, 
and comprise the Institution for the Deaf and 
Dumb, which receives pupils between 10 and 21 
years of age ; the Stiitc ll(i>i(ital for the Insane, 
which can accommodate .iOU patients, and has a 
large and jn-oductive farm ; the Institution for 
the Blind ; the Institution for Idiots and Imbe- 
ciles, and the Soldiers' Orphan Home. The erec- 
tion of a State Inebriate Asylum has been re- 
commended to the Legislature by Governor 
John M. Palmer, and is likely to be ordered. 

]Veallh, Taxation and Debt. — The true value of 
i-eal and personal estate in 1870 was $2, 121,680,579, 
whereas the assessed value was but $482,899,57.5, 
of which $348,433,906 were for real estate and, 
$134,46.5,669 for personal estate. Tlie total taxa- 
tion, not national, amounted to $21,82.5,00'^, of 
which $3,620,681 were state ta.xes, $5,212,137 coun- 
ty taxes, and $12,96*,190 town and city taxes. 
The collections on account of state revenue, for 
the two fiscal years from Dec. 1, 1870, to Dec. 1, 
1872, were $3,4l"5,38(i.86. On Dec. 1st, 1870, tlie debt 
of the state was $4,890,937 ; during the year 1871 it 
was increased to $5,140,937, by the issue of $i50,000 
bonds to the city of Chicago," in part payment for 
money expended by that city in deepening the 
Illinois & Michigan Canal. On the 9th of Jan. 
1871. $2,983,307 were called in for redemption, and 
paid in coin. From Dec. I, 1870, to Dec. 1, 1872, 
the debt was reduced $;i,080,787, and the total of 
tlie outstanding debt on the latter day was $2,- 
060,150. The county debt in 1870 amounted to

Government. — The Governor, Lientenant-Gov- 
■ eriior, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer 
and Superintendent of Public Instruction are 
elected by the people for four years. The gen- 
eral election is held on the first Tuesday in No- 
vemlier. The Senate consists of 51 members, 
elected for 4 years ; the House of Representa- 
tives of 153 members, elected for 2 years. The 
Legislature meets biennially, on the first Mon- 
day in January, in the odd years, 1871, lS/3, etc. 
The Governor has the veto power ; but vetoed 
bills become laws if passed in both houses by a 
two-thirds majority. 

The Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction 
only, and consists of three divisions, corres- 
ponding to three divisions of the slate. There 
are 28 Circuit Courts, presided over by as many 
judges. These courts have original jurisdic- 
tion in civil cases of all sums over $100, and con- 
current jurisdiction with the justices of in- 
ferior coui'ts of all sums under $100 and over 
$20. Each county has a county court, with 
jurisdiction to tlie same amount as justices of 
the peace. 

111. is divided into the following 102 counties :

ISfDIANA, one of the states lying in the 
great Mississippi Valley ; is bounded on the N. 
by Lake Michigan and the state of Mich., on tlie 
E. by Ohio, on the W. by 111., and on the S. by 
Ky., from which it is separated by the Ohio R. 
It extends from 37° 51' to 41° 40' N. hit., and from 
85° 48' to 88° 1' W. long. The area is 33,80!) sq. 
mis., or 21,737,760 acres. The greatest length 
from N. to S. is 277 nils, and the greatest width 
from E. to W. 176 mis. 

Ind. has no elevations promhient enough to 
be called mountains. Two-thirds of the state 
is level or but slightly undulating, and the 
remainder, though broken and rolling, is no- 
where mountainous. The eastern is the highest 
portion of the state and has an average eleva- 
tion of 800 or 900 feet. The surface thence 
gradually descends toward the W. and S. W., 
where it reaches the lowest point at the junc- 
tion of the Wabash and Ohio Rs., which is only 
297 feet above tlie sea level. Thus it will be 
seen that its inequalities present extremes of 
only 000 feet, a very small difference considering 
the extensive area of the state. The surface 
is, however, considerably diversified by the 
Streams, most of which iiow in ^'alleys of ero- 
sion, skirted on both sides by steep slopes. 
Although but the margins of the general sur- 
face of the country, tliey are, locally, called 
"river hills." In the south-western corner of 
the state the river hills of the Ohio and Wabash 
form an exceedingly lugged and broken coun- 
try. Several miles below the Falls of the Ohio, 
in Floyd co., commences a series of low and de- 
tacheil hills, called "The Knobs," trending N. 
They are from half a mile to somewhat over a 
mile wide, and produce a species of small pines, 
which is found in no other part of the state. 
Their height above the surrounding country 
lufely exceeds 200 feet. 



Rivers.— Ina. belongs to the two great drain- 
age systems of the St. Lawrence and Misnissippl 
Rs The latter includes by far the largest part 
ot the state, the former onlva portion of tlio 
most northern tier of counties. The water- 
shed between thcni is nfiwlicrc marked by a 
ridge or a prominent .Irvation of (Ik; "round- 
It traverses .Sleiilxn, Noble, Kosciusko, St Jo- 
seph. La Porle, I'orter and Lake cos. The St 
Lawrence system is represented by affluents of 
Lake Michigan, the largest of which is the St. 
Joseph R. This stream rises in Mich, and be- 
longs to Ind. only with its most southern curve 
in Elkhart and St. Joseph cos. It receives the 
Pigeon and Elkhart Rs. The onlv river of Ind. 
which flows directly into Lake Michigan is the 
Calumet. The Ohio li. washes the southern boun- 
dary of the state for a distance of nearly 400 nils. 
With the except ion of the Wa1)ash, its Ind. atllu- 
ents are small streams, asLaiT_'herv Cr., Indian 
Cr., Kentucky Cr., Silver Cr., (JreatBlue R., Lit- 
tle Blue R., Anderson Cr., Little Pigeon Cr. and 
Pigeon Cr. Whitewater R. is formed by two 
branches which rise in Randolph co. and pass 
into Ohio, joining the Miami R. The Wabash R. 
rises in Ohio,flowsN. W. asfaras the vicinity of 
Huntington, Ind., then nearly due W. to beyond 
Logansport, and lastly turns to the S .W.and .S., 
joining the Ohio at tl>jS. W. corner of the state. 
Its entire course is over 600 nils. long. Formerly 
its commerce aniounti-d to several millions of 
dollars, but its navii;a1>ility has been much im- 
paired by the aecnniulation of driftwood and 
other obstructions. With proper skill and an 
outlay of considerable sums of money it might 
be so improved that large steam1)oals could fun 
up as far as Wabash Town, in Wabash eo. Its 
principal affluents from the N. are Eel Rf, Tip- 
pecanoe R. anil Big Pine Cr. Its affluents from 
the S. are Salainaiiie R., Mississinewa R. and 
Wild Cat Cr. The AVhite R. is formed by tho 
confluence of the East and West Forks, which 
unite at the S. W. corner of Daviess co., and. 
with its numerous source streams and tributa- 
ries drains the S. central part of the state. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate is some- 
what milder than that of the same latitudes on 
the Atlantic coast. The winters are often very 
cold but of short duration, ami heavy snow's 
rarely cover the ground. The summers are hot, 
and on the whole salubrious. The ditTerence in 
temperature between the northern and south- 
ern portions of the state is considerable. At 
Logansport the mean annual temperature is 
nearly ."iS" Fahr.; the maximum on the warmest 
day 102°, and the minimum on the coldest — 10°. 
Tlie average rain-fall is about 42.8 inches, of 
which the winter has 12.3; the spring, 10.5; the 
summer, 12.8, and the fall, 7.2. Fruit trees 
usually begin to bloom in March. 

The extensive forests which fomierly cov- 
ereil the state are disappearing rapidly. They 
consist mostly of deciduous trees, as black wal- 
nut, several species of oak. ash, maple, elm, 
hickory, beech, sycamore, poplar and white- 
wood, or tulip, tree. 

Population.— IniX. was admitted into the Union 
as a state in 181(i ; in 18u0 it had .5,641 inhabitants ; 
in 1810, 24,.520; in 1820, 147,178; in 1830, .343,031 ; in 
1840, 6S5,8()6; in 18.50, 988,416; in 1860, l,:i50,428, and 
in 1870, 1,(>80,637. The great majority of the in- 
habitants, 1,6.1.5,837, are wliiU;; only 24,560 were 
colored, anil the Indians numbered 240. 

With regard to nativity, the population is dis- 
tributed as follows : Boin in the United States, 
1,.539,163, including 1,048,575 natives of the state; 
born in foreign countries, 141,474. Of these, 
4,765 were born in British .Vnierica, 6,362 in 
France, 78,0.56 in Germanv, 9,945 in England, 28,- 
698 in Ireland, 2,507 in Scotland, 873 in Holland 
and .523 in Poland. 

The total population of over 10 years of age 
numbered 1,197,9;56. There were engaged in all 
classes of occujiatlons 4.59,369; of whom 266,777 
were engaged in agriculture ; 80,018 in profes*-

sional and personal services ; 36,517 in ti'ade and 
transportation, and 7(3,037 in manufactures and 
meclianical and mining industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — Ind. includes a large 
portion of the Illinois coal i-egion, to the extent 
of 7,800 sq. mis. Building materials are found 
extensively, as gray and blue limestone, on the 
"Upper Wabash, Muscatatuck and Sand Crs. ; 
•white limestone, underhiying the coal-fields and 
cropping out at the surface in the cos. of Craw- 
ford, Harrison, Washington, Orange, Lawrence, 
Monroe, Owen and Putnam. It is very soft 
■when quarried, but on being exposed to the air 
becomes very hard. An excellent sandstone 
of fine grain, and resembling the Chemung 
Sandstone of N. Y.,or the Portsmouth Free- 
stone of Ohio, is quarried in the eastern parts 
of the state. Iron, gypsum, some copper and 

frindstones are the other mineral products of 
nd. 

AgricvUure.—The soil is generally productive, 
■while the bottom-lands of the streams are very 
rich and deep ; especially those of the Ohio and 
the Wabash, with its tributaries, above Terre 
Haute. The uplands between the water-courses, 
though less fertile, yield fair returns to the 
cultivator. 

The principal staple of Ind. is Indian-corn, of 
which there were produced, in 1870, 51,094,538 
bush., and in the foUowingyear 79,205,000 bush. on 
2, 218,627 acres. The wheat crop in 1870 was 27,747,- 
222 bush.; but had fallen off in 1871 to 19,190,000 
bush. Oats were produced in the two years, i-e- 
spectively, to the extent of 8,590,409 and 11,784,000 
bush.; rye, 457,468and 423,000 bush.; barley, 356,26-2 
and 352,000 bush.; Irish pot's, 5,399,044 and 2,436,01)0 
bush.; tobacco, 9,325,392 and 8,316,000 lbs. The 
other products in 1870 were: 150,705 bush, of 
sweet; pot's; 22,915,385 lbs. of butter; 283,807 lbs. 
of cheese, and 1,076,768 tons of hay. 

The improved land measured 10,104,279 acres, 
or nearly one-half of the entire area of the 
state. The woodland in farms was 7,189,334 
acres, and the other unimproved land, 826,035 
acres. The cash value of farms was $034,804,189, 
and of farming implements and machinery, 
$9,676,348, The value of farm productions, bet- 
terments and additions to stock, was estimated 
at $122,914,302, and of slaughtered animals, $30,- 
246,962. 

Ind. had, in 1870, 497,883 horses, 43,250 mules and 
asses, 393,736 milch cows, 14,088 working oxen, 
618,360 other cattle, 1,612,680 sheep, and 1,872,230 
hogs. The value of all live stock was $83,776,782. 

The Manufacturing industry is not yet very 
largely developed, but is steadily growing in 
extent. In 1860 the value of all products was 
$41,840,434; in 1870, $108,617,278. The last census 
reports 11,847 establishments with 2,881 steam- 
engines (of an aggregate of 76,851 horse-power) ; 
58,852 hands, and $52,052,425 invested capital. 
The raw m;iterials used amounted to $63,135,492, 
and the wages paid $18,366,780. 

The most important manufactures were: 
Agricultural implements, $-2,128,794; boots and 
Shoes, $2,699,114 ; carriages and wagons, $3,- 
448,959; freight and passenger cars, $2,577,726; 
men's clothing, $2,261,374 ; flour and meal, 
$25,371,322; furniture, $3,826,930; forged and 
rolled iron, $2,845,005 ; pig iron, $1,191,834 ; 
iron castings, $2,592,908; leather, tanned and 
curried, $2,461,549 ; whisky, $2,038,420 ; beer, $1,- 
315,116; sawed lumber, $12,324,755; machinery, 
including steam-engines and boilers, $3,881,024 ; 
packed pork, $2,780,021, and woollen goods, $4,- 
212,737. 

Commerce and Railroads. — The commercial ac- 
tivity is greatly facilitated by the navigable 
rivers, the lake (on which the state borders), 
canals, and a railroad net which extends to 
every iiart, and is still expanding. The Erie & 
Wal>ash Canal connects the Ohio with the great 
lakes. It seems not to fulfill the great expec- 
tations of its projectors, and is at present used 
by small craft ouly, as far as La Fayette. Tlie | 



Whitewater Canal extends from Hagersto-wn to 
Lawrenceburgh, is 75 mis. long, and passes by 
Brooksville, Connersvilleand Cambridge. Ind. 
had, in 1862, 2,175 mis. of railroad, and ten years 
later, 3,529. 

The following are the most important lines : 
Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville R. K., connect- 
ing La Porte with Peru (73 mis.); Cincinnati & 
Indianapolis Junction R. R., connecting Hamil- 
ton, Ohio, with Indianapolis (98 mis.), and Con- 
nersville with New Castle (25 mis.); Cincinnati, 
Richmond & Fort Wayne R. R., (42 mis.); Co- 
lumbus, Chicago & Indiana Central It. R., con- 
necting Colunibus, Ohio, ■with Indianapolis (188

and Logansport to 111. state line (61 mis.); 
Evansville & Crawfordsville R. R. (132 mis.); 
Indianapolis, Cincinnati & La Fayette R. R. (179 
mis.); Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago R. R., con- 
necting Indianapolis with Michigan City (161

son, Madison & Intlianapolis R. R., connecting 
Louisville, Ky., with Indianapolis (110 mis.), 
Madison with Columbus (45mls.), Jeffersonville 
with New Albany (6 mis.), and Columbus with 
Cambridge City (65 mis.); Louisville, New Al- 
bany & Chicago R. R. (288 mis.); Ohio & Missis- 
sippi R. R., connecting Cincinnati with East St. 
Louis, 111. (340 mis.), and North Vernon with 
Louisville, Ky. (53 mis.); Terre Haute & Indian- 
apolis R. R. (961^ mis.); Toledo, Wabash & West- 
ern R. R., connecting Toledo, Ohio, with Camp 
Point, 111. (4511/^ mis.), and intersecting the N. 
part of the state ; and the White Water Valley 
R. R., connecting Valley Junction, Ohio, with. 
Hagersto-wn (70 rals.) 

Wealthy Taxation and Debt. — The estimated 
value of real and personal estate in 1870 was 
$1,268,180,54.3, but the assessed value of the same 
amounted to only $663,455,044 ; $-203,334,070 repre- 
senting the personal property and $460,120,974 
the real estate. The state taxes were $2,943,078 ; 
county taxes, $4,654,466, and town and city taxes 
$3,193,-577, making the total taxation $10*791,121. 

The entire indebtedness in said year was $7,- 
818,710, which included $4,167,507 state debt, 
$1,1-27,269 county debt, and $2,5-23,934 town ana 
city debt. On the 1st day of Nov., 1872, the state 
debt was $3,905,906.27, showing a decrease since 
the census was taken of $-261,601. The school 
fund bonds (now negotiable) are the chief item 
of the state debt, viz. : $3,729,016. 

The receipts of the treasury during the fiscal 
year ended on Oct. 31, 187-2, including cash on 
hand from the year preceding, were $3,450,558.22, 
and the disbursements $-2,687,201.85, leaving, on 
Nov. 1,1872, cash in the treasury, $763,356.37. 

Education. — The sum expended in the state 
for tuition in all schools amounted (1870) to $-2,- 
499,511, mostly derived from taxation. 

Ind. has six universities. The State Univer- 
sity at Bloomington, Monroe co., was opened 
in 1824, and comprises a college of arts, litera- 
ature and science, a college ol law, a college of 
civil engineering, a college of military science 
and a normal school ; "all manned," as the re- 
port of the State Superintendent, for 1870, says, 
"with competent and able instructoi's." The 
libraries embrace over 5,000 volumes, and the 
philosophical and chemical apparatus is very 
complete. The faculty consists of the presi- 
dent, ten professors and two tutors; the num- 
ber of students was, in 1870, 304. Indiana Asbury 
University, located at Greencastle, Putnam co., 
is undjer the control of the Methodists. Wabash 
College, with whicli a military department is 
connected, is at Crawfordsville ; Earlham Col- 
lege, near Richmond ; the University of Notre 
Dame, at Notre Dame ; Salem College, at Bour- 
bon ; Fort Wavne College and Concordia Col- 
lege, at Fort \Vayne. In 1870 there were in the 
state 8,871 public schools (including 69 high and 
371 graded scliools;, with 11,04'2 teachers and

446,076 pupils, with an income of $2,063,599. The 
32 classical institutions (colleges and acade- 
niies) had 268 teachers, anci H.iiSi pupils. The 
four professional schools liad 10 teachers and 137 
pupils, and the 14 technical schools had 33 teach- 
ers and 1,518 pupils. The number of private 
and parochial schools was 152, with 285 teachers 
and 10,()(U pupils. 

The CharUable and Penal Institidions are : The 
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, the Institution 
for the Education of the Blind, the Indiana 
Hospital for the Insane, the Indiana Ileforma- 
tory Institute for Women and Girls, the House 
of Refuge, near Plainfleld, and the Soldiers' 
Home, which is exclusively for the care of or- 
phan children of soldiers. There are two state

Indian Territory is bounded on the N. by 
Ivans, and Colo.; on the W. by Tex. and (^olo.; on 
the S. by Tex., and on the E. by Mo. and Ark. 
The Red R. forms part of its southern boundary. 
The area is 68,991 sq. nils., or 44,154,240 acres. 

Surface.— The territory forms part of that 
vast inclined plain which slopes gradually 
down from the base of the Rocky Mts. to the 
Mississippi R. Several groups and chains of 
mountains rise in the region between the Red 
R. and the Canadian R., as the Washita Mts., 
the Poteau Mts., and the Sans Bois Mts. The 
valleys of the rivers in the eastern part have 
broad and fertile bottom-lands, which are gen- 
erallj' bordered by more or less abrupt blulfs, 
separating them from the rolling or undulating 
uplands. The western part of the territory is 
on the whole an arid region, and belongs to 
what was formerly called the " Great American 
Desert." 

Rivers.— The, Arkansas R. enters the territory 
from the N., intersects it in a south -easterly 
direction, and leaves it near the middle of the 
eastern boundarv. Its northern triliutaries are 
the Verdigris and Little Verdigris Rs., the Neo- 
sho R. and Flint Ci. The western tributaries are 
the Little Arkansas R., Black Bear R., Cimarron, 
or Red Fork of the Arkansas, the Canadian R., 
with Rabbit Ear Cr., or North Fork, and Poteau 
R. The Red R., which washes the southern 
border of the territory, receives the North 
Fork, Cedar Cr., with numerous branches 
draining the valleys of the Washita Mts.; Mud- 
dy Cr.; Walnut Or.; Ouachita R., Baggy li., 
and Kianashi R. 

The Climate of the territory is warm and on 
the whole dry. The south-eastern is the hottest 
part, and has a mean annual temperature of 
more than 60°. In the north-western part the 
mean annual temperature is but 55°. The rain- 
fall decreases from 52 inches per annum in the 
south-eastern extremity of the territory to 35 
inches in the central portions, and to less than 
'20 inches in the north-western corner. 

The territory is mostly covered with prairies. 
The river courses are fringed with a growth of 
Cottonwood and other deciduous trees. The 
" Cross Timbers," a belt of wood-land varying 
in width from 5 to 30 mis., extend from the Ar- 
kansas R. in a south-westerly direction for 
more than 500 mis., to the Brazos R., in Tex. 
They separate the arable region in the E. from 
the arid and mostly sterile prairies and plains 
in theW. 

Poimlalion. — Ind. Ter. was set apart by the 
federal government as a permanent home for 
the aboriginal tribes, either indigenous or re- 
moved thither from the eastern part of the 
United States. 

According to the ninth census, the aggregate 
population in 1870 was 68,152, including 2,407 
whites, 6,378 colored persons and 59,367 Indians. 
Less than half of the latter, or '24,967, lived on 
reservations and at agencies ; while 34,400 led a 
nomadic existence. The following are the prin- 
cipal tribes or nations who are settled on reser- 
vations : the Clierokees, Creeks, Chickasaws, 
Choctaws, Senecas and Quapaws. They have 
made considerable advances in civilizatiouj 
carry on agriculture and some branches or 
manufacturing, and have schoole, and news- 
papers printed in their own language.

si'isippi R. on the E. and the Missouri R. on the 
W., and is unsurpassed for its advantages in 
commerce and industry. It is hounded on the 
N. by Minn., on the S. by Mo., on the E. by 111. 
and Wis., and on the VV. by Dak. and Nebr. Its 
length from E. to W. is about 300 mis., and its 
width from N. to S. 208 mis. It lies between 40° 
25' and 43° 30' N. lat., and 90° 18' antl 90° 53' W. 
long. The area is 55,045 sq. nils., or ,35,228,800 
acres. 

Surface.— Iowa, forms part of a vast plain, and 
there are no mountains or ranges of hills within 
the state. The only slopes and surface diversi- 
ties are formed by the streams, naany of which 
have cut deep valleys into the general level. 
The highest portion of the state is the water- 
shed, dividing the rivers which empty into the 
Mississippi B. from those which empty into the 
Missouri R. This broad and gently undulating 
water-shed is highest in the N., and gradually 
falls off in elevation toward the S. It is in re- 
ality the southern section of tlie so-called " Co- 
teau des Prairies," the northern section of 
which extends through Minn. 

The lowest point of the state is the S. E. ex- 
tremity, at Keokuk, where the Des Moines B. 
empties into the Mississippi E. It is 444 ft. above 
the level of the ocean. Burlington is but 42 ft. 
higher, and Davenport 84 ft. The most elevat- 
ed section of the state is near Spirit Lake, in 
the N. \V. part, which is 1,094 ft. above the sea 
level. Thus the irregularities of the surface 
lie within the limits of 444 and 1,094 ft., a differ- 
ence of but 1,2.50 ft. 

Rivers and Lakes. —All the rivers of Iowa are 
tributaries of either the Mississippi B. or the 
Missouri B., and have, in accordance with the 
general slopes of the state, south-easterly or 
south-westerly courses. The rivers which "join 
the Mississippi are generally larger than those 
joining the Missouri R., and drain nearly two- 
thirds of the area of the state. Foremost 
amongst these is the Des Moines, which rises a 
few miles beyond tlie border in Minn, and in- 
tersects Iowa from N. W. to S. E., entering into 
the Mississippi R. near Keokuk. It is formed 
by the East and West branches, which unite in 
Humboldtco. The valley below Fort Dodge has 
a well-marked flood plain or bottom, through 
which the river pursues a winding course. The 
sides are irregular, sloping sometimes ab- 
ruptly, but mostly blending with the uplands. 
The principal tributaries of the Des Moines are 
upon its western side. The valleys of the Des 
Moines and its branches are destined to become 
the seat of extensive manufactories, both in 
consequence of their abundant water-power, 
and the fact that the main valley traverses the 
entire length of the Iowa coal fleld. Skunk B. 
flows along the border of the lower coal fleld ; 
Its course is S. E. Iowa B. rises in Hancock co. 
and flows in Hardin co. across the S. E. corner 
of the Iowa coal fleld. Below its junction with 
the Cedar B. its valley is broad and flat. Bluffs 
of 100 and loO ft. in height border its southern 
side. The Cedar B., which should really be 
regarded as the main stream, is the principal 
tributary of the Iowa. VVapsipinnicon B. has 
its sources near those of the Cedar, and flows 
parallel with it. Compared with its length 
It drains but a small area. In consequence of 



this it is not subject to considerable floods, and 
mill sites do not often occur in its course. Ma- 
quoketa B. rises in Fayette co. and has a more 
eastei'ly direction than the rivers to the S. of 
it. The depth of its valley is often 200 ft. be- 
low the general level of the uplands, and has a 
more wild and romantic aspect than the valleys 
of the rivers just named. Turkey B. rises in 
Howard co. That portion of its valley which 
lies in Fayette and Clayton cos. is a deep gorge 
with precipitous sides. Its fall is so great that 
water-power is abundant. The Upper Iowa B. 
rises in Minn, just beyond the border of Iowa, 
and its course is nearly eastward. Its valley is 
the deepest of any in Iowa, being in its low.-r 
portion 400 ft. below the general level of the up- 
lands. 

The tributaries of the Missouri B., which 
form the western drainage system of Iowa, are 
comparatively small and unimportant ; or, if 
large, belong to this state with their upper 
courses only. Chariton and Grand Bs. rise in 
the southern part of Iowa and pass into Mo. 

The Platte B. rises in Union co., but belongs 
mainly to Mo. One Hundi'ed and Two B. la 
represented in Taylor co. by its East and West 
Forks. The East, Middle antl West Nofla way Bs. 
traverse drift valleys, with beautifully slopuig 
and undulating sides, and drain one of the 
finest agricultural districts of the state. The 
East and West Nishnabotany Es. have so 
eroded their valleys that the drift deposit is ex- 
posed along tlieir entire length. The main 
stream joins the Missouri B. a short distance 
beyond tlie limits of Iowa. Boyer B., Soldier 
B. and Little Sioux B. flow between tolerably 
high and sloping banks. Bock E. is so named 
from the fact that exposures of quartz rock 
occur along the main branch in Minn. In Iowa 
it is essentially a drift stream, with gently 
sloping banks. The Big Sioux B. rises on the 
Coteau des Prairies, in Dak. Ter., and then 
forms the northern portion of the western 
boundary of Iowa. It joins the Missouri at 
Sioux City. The Missouri B., as far as it forhis 
the boundary of this state, is bordered by bluffs. 

The lakes of Iowa ax'e small. They are either 
drift lakes, that is, such as had their origin in 
the depressions left in the surface of the drift 
at the close of the glacial epoch, or thej' are 
alluvial lakes, which were formed by the action 
of the rivers while cutting out their valleys 
from the general surface of the country. The 
drift lakes are mostly located near the head 
waters of the principal streams. Such are 
Spirit and Okoboji lakes in Dickinson co., Clear 
Lake in Cerro Gordo co., and Storm Lake in 
Buena Vista co. Okoboji Lake has the shajje of 
a horse shoe. It receives the outlet of Spirit 
Lake, and is itself drained by the Little Sioux E. 

Climate.— The climate of Iowa is free from in- 
jurious extremes. Its general character is a sa- 
lubrious dryness. Observations at Iowa City, 
commenced in 1839 and continued to the pres- 
ent time, give a mean annual temperature of 
47.57'^ Fahrenheit, which was thus distributed 
through the year : January, 21.75° ; February, 
24.81° ; March, 34.75° ; April, 48.50° ; May, 59.06° ; 
June, 67.92° ;July, 72.51°; August, 70. 70^ ; Septem- 
ber, 63.37° ; October, 49.58° ; November, 36.28° ; 
December, 23.55°. The mean temperature of 
spring was 47.44°; summer, 70.37°; autumn, 
44.52°, and winter, 23.37°. Iowa lies within the 
zone of variable winds. W. and N. N. W. winds 
may be considered as predominating, while S. 
and S. E. winds are least frequent. According 
to the long-continued observations, above men- 
tioned, the wind blew from the N. N. E. 70 days ; 
from the E. S. E. 76 days ; from the S. S. W. 105 
days, and from the W. and N. N. W. 114 days ; 
or easterly winds prevailed 146 days and west- 
erly winds 219 days. 

'I'he mean annual fall of rain and snow, re- 
duced to water, is 44.27 inches, which is more 
than might be expected from the inland posi-

tion of the state. In 1851 there was the extra- 
ordinary fall of 74.49 inches : the least fall was 
in 1854, viz.: 23..S5 inches. August is the month 
in which usually the greatest amount of rain 
falls. January is the ctryest month. 

Veffetation.— Iowa, has "throughout a very fer- 
tile soil. Geologists estimate the productive 
area of the state at 95 per cent, of the whole. 
Three-fourths of the surface. Including the up- 
lands, are open prairies ; the river courses are 
skirted by woodland belts, consisting generally 
of maple, birch, buckeye, hickory, walnut, lo 
cust, sycamore, eottoiiwood, oak, basswood 
and elm. The quantity of timber is sufficient 
for all economical purposes, in the present state 
of settlement. Attempts to raise forest trees 
on the prairies have been eminently successful, 
and it is asserted that by this means timber is 
now growing faster in Iowa than the consump- 
tion demands. If the annual burning of the 
prairies were prohibited, forests would probably 
soon spontaneously spring up and grow thrift- 
ily on most of the prairie region. 

Population. — Iowa is rapidly increasing in 
population and wealth. In 1840 it had 43,li2 in- 
habitants ; in 1850, 192,-214 ; in 1860, 674,9(«, and in 
1870, 1,194,020. The whites numbered in the lat- 
ter year. 1,188,207 ; the colored people, 5,762, and 
the Imlians, 348, of whom about 300 sustained 
tribal relations. The natives of the United' 
States largely exceed the foreign population, 
numbering 989,328, of whom 428,620 were natives 
of the state ; 64,083 of lud.; 14,18i; of Kv.; .5,943 of 
Me.; 5,972 of Md.; 8,929of Mass.; 8,918 of Mich.; 2,683 
of Minn.; 13,831 of Mo.; ,5,057 of N. II.; 5.688of N. J.; 
79,143 of N. Y.; 3,612 of N. C; 73 435 of Pa.; 6,015 of 
Tenn.; 12,204 of Vt.; 19,5.58 of Va. and W. Va., and 
24,319 of Wis. The foreign-born population num- 
bered 204,692 ; of whom 17,907 were natives of 
British America ; 2,827 of Denmark ; 3,130 of 
France ; 66,160 of Germany ; 16,660 of England ; 
40,124 of Ireland; 5,248 of Scotland; 1,967 of 
Wales ; 17 566 of Norway ; 10,796 of Sweden, and 
3,937 of Switzerland. Thus is the population of 
this state in the true sense of the word cosmo- 
politan. 

Occupalions.— Of the 837,959 Inhabitants of 
Iowa of 10 years of age and over, 344,276. or 
nearly one-half, were engaged in all classes of 
useful occupations, to wit : 210,263 in farming ; 
68,484 in professional and personal services ; 
28,210 in trade and transportation, and 47,319 in 
manufacturing, mining and the mechanical 
txades. 

Agriculture.— 1^0 state in the Union offers 
greater advantages to the farmer and stock- 
breeder. Th- soil of the prairies, whether level 
or rolling, possesses the greatest fertility ; and 
the bottom-lands along the water-courses are 
truly inexhaustible. Tlie cereals yield most 
abundant crops ; vegetables of every descrip- 
tion thrive well, and fi-uit or forest trees are 
successfully cultivated, and grow with remark- 
able i-apidity. 

The yield per acre, in 1871, was 42^^ bush, of 
corn, iO 4-5 bush, of wheat, 20 bush, of rye, 41 
bush, of oats, 29)^ bush, of barley, 131 bush, of 
pot's, 750 lbs. of tobacco and 1 3-5 tons of hay. 
According to the census of 1870 there were pro- 
duced 28,708,312 bush, spring wheat, 727,380 bush, 
winter wheat, 50,5,807 bush, rye, 68,935,065 bush. 
Indian-corn, 21,005,142 bush, oats, 1.960,779 bush, 
barley, 5,914,620 bush. Irish pot's, 34,292 bush, 
sweet pot's, 71,792 lbs. tobacco, 2,967,043 lbs. 
wool, 27,512,179 lbs. butter, 1,087,741 lbs. cheese, 
1,777,339 tons hay and 37,518 gallons wine. 

The number of acres in farms was 15,541,793, 
Of which 9,396,467 were improved (or 26 per cent. 
of the area of the state), and 2,524,793 were 
woodland. The cash value of farms was ^idi,- 
662,441, and of farming implements and machin- 
ery, $20, .509, 582 ; and the estimated value of all 
farm productions, including betterments and 
additions to stock, was $114,386,441 ; of orchard 
products, $1,075,169. 



Iowa had 43.3,642 horses, 25,485 mule.s and asses, 
369,811 milch cows, 22,0,58 working oxen, 614,:«>e 
other cattle, 8.5,\493 sheep and l,;i53.908 swine. 
The total value of all live stock was $82,987, 133, 
and of animals slaughtei-ed or sold for slaugh- 
ter, $25,781,223. 

Minerals and Mining.— The mineral resonrces 
of Iowa are extensive and important, includ- 
ing coal, iron, lead, copper, zinc, and variou.i* 
kinds of lime and free stones, well adapted 
for building purposes. The coal fields are 
situated in the central and sonthern por- 
tions of the state, and belong to the great Mis- 
souri and Iowa coal region, which covers in 
this state an area estimated at 2,5,000 h<\. mis. 
The most productive coal mines are in the val- 
ley of the Des Moines 11. and its tributaries, ex- 
tending from Lee co. to the northern boundary 
of Webster co. Five mis. S. of Fort Dodge a 
coal vein of 7 feet in thickness was recently 
discovered. The coal of Iowa is exclusively 
bituminous, and noted for its purity, leaving 
but a small residuum of ashes. The product 
mined was, in 1865, 1,666,582 bush.; in 18()6, 2,4«3,- 
010 bush.; in 1870 upward of 3,000,000 bush., or 
120,000 tons, and at present nearly approaches 
200,000 tons. 

The lead-bearing veins are in the limestone 
formation of the Turkey Hiver Valley, and ex- 
tend to Dubuque, on the Mississippi R., which 
is the center of the lead-mining industry, and 
owes to it its rapid growth and importance. The 
value of the product exceeils $^300,000 per an- 
num. Some silver is occasionally found with 
the copper ores. Extensive deposits of peat 
are found in Franklin, Wright, Cerro Gordo, 
Hancock, Winnebago, Worth, Kossuth, Musca- 
tine, Linn and Clinton cos., and are of consid- 
erable importance, as they lie beyond the coal re- 
gioiijand yield excellentfuel. Marble quarries 
are in Tama and Marshall cos., and building 
stones crop out in nearly all the river vallej's E. 
of the Des Moines. In >fadison and Cass cos. are 
the most extensive quarries. Plastic clav, fit 
for pottery, is found in nearly all parts of the 
state. 

The Mamifacturing Industry progresses rap- 
idly. In 1860 the value of the products was $13,- 
97li^325; in 1870, $46,531,322, showing an increase 
of 233 per cent. In the former year there 
were 1,939 industrial establishments, with an 
invested capital of $7,247,130 ; in the latter, 6,.5iJ6 
establishments, with a capital of $22,420,183, and 
the raw materials consumed amounted to $27,- 
682,096 ; the wa^es paid to .$6,893,292, and the 899 
steam-engines had 25,298 horse-power. The 
principal products, as reported in the last cen- 
sus, are as follows : Flour and meal, $1.5,(i35,345 ; 
sawed lumber, .$5,794,2.-i5 ; planed lumber, $Sd7,- 
415; boots and shoes, $1,218,480; agricultural 
implements, $829,9i)5 ; carriages and wagons, 
$1,952,143 ; iron castings, $432,780 ; stoves and 
hollow ware, $100,000 ; lurniture, $975,-566 ; men's 
clothing, $90.5,136 ; malt liquor, $!t02,848 ; packed 
pork, $1,190,400; saddlery and harness, $1,110,852, 
and woollen goods, $1,561,341. 

Commerce and Railroads.— VfiWx its two mag- 
nificent border-streams, the Missouri and Mis- 
sissippi, and other navigable rivers,and a nearly 
perfect railroad system, Iowa has commercial 
facilities of the first order, readily effecting an 
exchange of its surplus products of grain, meat, 
etc., for clothing, groceries, and luxuries which 
are not produced wit bin its borders. The goods 
moved on her commercial highway may be es- 
timated at $.500,000,000 in value. In 1862 the rail- 
road mileage was 731 ; and ten years later, 3,160 ; 
while the network of iron roads is being 
rapidly extended. The principal railroads are: 
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & iMinnesota R. R., 
connecting Burlington with Plymouth (22;»mls.) 
and Plvmouth with Austin (,32 mis.); Burling- 
ton & airssouri Hiver R. R. (349 nils.); Cedar 
Falls & Minnesota R. R., running from Water- 
loo to the Miuu. state-Hue (75>^ ml».)i Cedar

Clinton with Lyons (2i^inls.)! Central Iowa 
R. R., connecting St. Paul, Minn., with St. 
Louis, Mo., running fvom the northern to the 
southern state line ('203 mis.) ; Chicago, Iowa 
& Nebraska R. R., connecting Clinton with 
Cedar Rapids. Mo. {S114 nils.) ; Chicago & South- 
western R. R., from Washington to Leaven- 
worth, Kans. (271 mis.); Des Sloines Valley R. 
R., from Keokuk to Des Moines (24Si^ mis.); 
Dubuque & Sioux City R. R. (143 mis.); Dubuque 
& Southwestern R. R., from Farley to Cedar 
Rapids (5-t?^mls.); Iowa Falls & Sioux City R. 
R; (184 mis.); and Sioux City & Pacific R. R., 
from Sioux City to Fremont, "Nebr. (107 mis.). 

Wealth, Taration and Debt.— The assessed 
value of real estate in 1870 was $226,610,638, and 
of personal property, $7-5,904,780 ; or both togeth- 
er, $302,518,418. The true value of both was $717,- 
644,750, against $247,338,265 in 1860, and $23,714,638 
in 1850. The not national taxation was $9,0.55,614, 
of which $832,918 were state taxes, $3,052,931 
county taxes, and $5,169,765 town and city taxes. 
The Indebtedness included $3,775,606 incurred 
b5' towns and cities, $3,732,929 by counlies, and 
only $534,498 by the state ($300,000 in war and de- 
fense bonds, and the remainder in not trans- 
ferable bonds issued to the school-fund). 

During the year ended Nov. 1, 1871, the total 
amount of receipts by the State Treasurer was 
$2,509,065, and of expenditures, $2,413,096, leaving 
a balance of $9.5,969 in the treasury. 

I^cliicalion.— The number of school districts 
■was, in 1871, 1,.594, an increase of 132 in the two 
preceding years. There were 7,841 public 
schools, against 7,009 two years before. The 
number of youth within the school ages was 
4(51,258 of whom 342,440 or 74^4 per cent, were en- 
rolled during the year, and the average attend- 
ance was 2J1,726, or nearly 46 per cent. The 
Governor, in his message of Jan., 1872, "regards 
the constant increase of the number of those 
enjoying school-privileges as a strong evidence 
that the common schools are continually en- 
larging their usefulness, and will gradually 
bring all the youth of the state within the scope 
of their inestimaVjle privileges." The value of 
school-houses antl apparatus was $6,916,490, an 
increase during two years of $1,541,947. A sys- 
tem of normal schools at convenient points 
throughout tlie state, for the thorough training 
of teachers, was urgently recommended. The 
last census reports public schools as number- 
ing 7,322 with 8,866 teachers and 205,923 pupils. 
There were 21 colleges, 34 academies, 6 profes- 
sional and 10 technical schools in the state. 

The State University at Iowa City has an en- 
dowment in land andother property of $195,582, 
and worthily occupies its place at the head of 
the school system of the state. It had, in 1870, 
25 teachers and 405 students, including 178 
females, and embraced academical, law, medical 
and normal departments. The Agricultural Col- 
lege at Ames, Storey co., has an imposing build- 
ing, located on a fine farm of 648 acres, and con- 
tains a library, museum, cabinet of minerals.etc. 

Charitable and Penal Insiitutions. — The State 
Reform School, in Lee co., near Salem, Henry 
CO., had 7 officers and teachers, and 86 inmates. 
The Institution for the Blind at Council Bluffs 
is in a flourishing condition, and offers every 
facility afforded by similar institutions in the 
country. The institution for the education of 
the blind at Vinton has magnificent buildings 
and a farm of 40 acres. The numl^er of teachers 
and officers in 1870 was 25, and of pupils, 101. 
Hospitals for the insane are located at Mount 
Pleasant and Independence. The state has 
three homes for soldiers' orphans, one at Glen- 
wood, another at Cedar Falls, and the last at 
Daveni)ort. 

The State Penitentiary, located at Fort Madi- 
son, is almost self-sustaining ; and had, in 1871, 
263 convicts, an increase of 61 in two years. 



The State Historical Society enjoys an ap- 
propriation of $.500 per annum, and collects, 
preserves and publishes the records of the set- 
tlements of Iowa, and the deeds of its pioneers. 
The "Annals of Iowa," an excellent quarterly, 
is issued by the society. 

Government. — The Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor and Superintendent of Public Instruc- 
tion are elected in each odd year for a term of 
two years. The Register of the Land Office, 
Secretary of State, Auditor and Treasurer are 
elected in each even j'ear, for the same length 
of service. The Senators, 49 in number, are 
chosen for four years; one-half being elected 
biennially. The House of Representatives con- 
sists of 200 members, who are elected for two 
years. Every male citizen who has been a 
resident X)f the state for six months, and of the 
county, in which he offers to vote, sixty days, 
is a legal elector. 

The judicial power is vested in a supreme 
court, 12 district courts, " and such courts as 
the general assembly may establish." The Su- 
preme Court has appellate jurisdiction only, 
and consists of four judges, electetl by the peo- 
ple for six years. It exercises supervisory con- 
trol over the inferior judicial tribunals. The 
district courts have original jurisdiction in 
civil and criminal cases, in chancery and at 
common law. In 1868 the a.ssembly established 
24 circuits, in each of which a circuit judge ia 
elected for four j^ears. 

Iowa is divided into the following 100 counties :

and from 37° to 40° N. lat., and has an area ot 
81,318 sq. mis., or 52,043,.520 acres. 

Surface.— Kansa,s occupies a portion of that 
extensive region which gently slopes down 
from the base of the Rocky Mts. to the banks 
of the Mississippi R. It has no mountains, j'et 
its surface is far from being a monotonous level. 
Almost everywhere we nieet gentle undula- 
tions, or low hills, divided by depressed valleys, 
which the water-courses have dug into the 
yielding soil ; and there is a great ditfcrence in 
the elevation above the sea between the eastern 
and western portions of the state. The follow- 
ing table exhibits this gradual but steady rise 
of the ground from E. to W., along the line of 
the Kansas Pacific R R., which intersects the 
State iu this diiectiou :

This table indicates a range in height between 
the extremes of nearly 3,000 feet, and a general 
fall of the ground from W. to E. of nearly 8 feet 
per mile, the length of the state being 3911/^ mis. 

Rivers. — The rivers of Kans., without excep- 
tion, discharge their waters into the Mississippi, 
either directly or indirectly, and in conformity 
with the slope of the land have courses of a 
general easterly direction. The Missouri R. 
washes the north-eastern boundary, and has 
in this short course some broad and veij' pro- 
ductive bottoms. ' Near the Mo. state line it 
receives the Kansas R., which rises on the 
"Plains " of Colo. Ter., and intersects the state 
to which it has given its name, through its en- 
tire length. The principal tributaries join the 
Kansas on the N., as the saline R., which emp- 
ties near Salina ; the Solomon R.; the Republi- 
can Fork, which rises in Colo- Ter., flows 
through southern Nebr., and turning S. E. joins 
the Kansas near Fort Riley, and the Big Bluo 
R., which rises in Nebr. The Arkansas R., com- 
ing from Colo. Ter., crosses the western limit 
of Kans., turns to the N. in Kiowa co., and, de- 
scribing a wide curve, leaves Kans. in Cowley 
CO. Its tributary, the Neosho R., intersects the 
south-eastern cos., flowing from N. to S., and the 
Cimarron R. traverses the south-westeru part 
Of the state. 

Cliinale and Vegetatiorh.—K&ns. has a mild and 
salubrious climate. At Burliugame, Osage co., 
the observations made during the year 18.59 in- 
dicated a mean annual temperature of 52.90°, 
and a range between extremes of 106°, the 
mercury rising on the hottest day to 100° and 
falling on the coldest to — 6°. The monthly 
means were as follows : January, 32.75° ; Febru- 
ary, 33.08° ; March, 45.25°; April, 49.12°; May, 
64.90° ; June, 72.45° ; July, 77.68° ; August, 74° ; 
September, 66°; October, 5;>.75; November, 
44.85°, and December, 20.95°. The rain-fall was 
about 31 inches at Burlingame and 36 1-5 at Ne- 
osho Falls. The eastern part of the state has a 
much larger quantity of moisture than tlio 
western, and lience its vegetation is more rank 
and varied. The forests cover the rich bottom- 
lands of the streams, and consist of the decidu- 
ous trees common in these latitudes. The up- 
lands in the E. are rich prairies, composed of 
tall grasses and herbs. In the \V. they are cov- 
ered with grama and buffalo grasses,which have 
a short curly growth, with dense fibrous roots, 
deeply penetrating iuto the dry but fertile soil. 
Near the western state line the valleys are often 
covered with the white saline efflorescence, so 
characteristic of arid regions. On the upper 
alluvial portions of the valleys are found dense 
growths of the " Sarcolatis," the wild sage 
("Artemisia"), and the greasewood ("Obi- 
one"). 

PopuZa^ion.— Kans. had, in 1860,107,206 inhabi- 
tants, and in 1870, 364,399, an increase during the 
last census decade of 147 per cent. The popula- 
tion in 1870 comprised 346,377 whites, 17,108 col- 
ored persons and 9,814 Indians, of whom 914 
were out of tribal relations, about 5,900 were 
living on reservations and agencies, and about 
3,000 led a nomadic life. The great majority of 
the inhabitants, viz.: 316,007, were natives of 
the United States, including 63,351 natives of 
the state, 1,402 natives of Conn., 35,5oS of 111.,

The total'population of 10 years and more of

gaged in agriculture, 20,736 in professional and 
personal services, 11,762 in trade and transpor- 
tation, and 18,126 in manufacturing, mining and 
mechanical trades, malting an aggregate of per- 
sons pursuing useful occupations of 123,8.52. 

Mines and Minerals. — Kans. has no precious 
metals, nor are its mineral treasures as great 
as those of some other divisions of the comitry. 
But coal is found in quantities sufHcient for all 
demands, one liekl being situated at Leaven- 
worth and another occupying the cos. of Linn, 
Bourbon and Cherokee. 

Extensive beds of salt occur in the valleys of 
the Reimblican, Solomon and Saline Rs., in the 
northern part of the state, and in the southern 
part, near the state line, there exists a bed 30 
mis. wide and 60 nils. long. Iron, gypsum, alum 
and petroleum are among the other minerals of 
large promise. The building materials of Kans. 
are famous throughout the west. "Leaven- 
worth marble," " junction City marble," " Pe- 
ruvian limestone," and a brown ferruginous 
sandstone are the most valuable. 

^gf?-('cK^iMre.— Agriculture is by far the most 
important source of wealth in Kans. The east- 
ern half of the state is well adapted to farming, 
the western to grazing. The soil of the former 
is deep and rich, in the forest-covered bottoms 
as well as on the upland prairies. The culture 
of cotton has been successfully tried on a small 
scale in the south-eastern portion of the state, 
and promises handsome returns to those who 
■will engage in it. Mulberry trees are indigenous 
throughout the. state, and although but little 
has yet been done to test the success of silk- 
growing, this important branch of industry 
will probably succeed here if anywhere in the 
country. It is also believed that the climate 
and soil of Kans. are favorable to the culture 
of tea. 

No portion of the United States is better fitted 
for wool-growing than central and western 
Kans., which will probably be settled by per- 
sons making this aud. stock raising their sole 
business. 

According to the census there wei'e, in 1870, 
1,971,003 acres of improved land, 635,419 of wood- 
land, and 3,050,457 of unimproved land in the 
farms of Kans. The total value of farms was 
$90,327,040; of agricultural implements, $4,053,- 
312, and of farm productions, including addi- 
tions to stock, .$27,630,651. The value of orchard 
products was $158,046, and of market gardens 
$129,013. The products were : Spring wheat, 
1,314,522 bush.; winter wheat, 1,076,676 bush.;

milch cows, 20,774 working oxen, 229,753 other 
cattle, 109,088 sheep and 206,587 swine. 

Manufactures. — Kans. jjossesses aV)undant fa- 
cilities for manufacturing in the ample water- 
power of its ,-treams ami its vast coal beds. 
There were in the state, according to the cen- 
sus report, 1,477 establishments, employing 254 
Steam-engines with 6,300 hors6-power,6,844 hands 



and a capital of $4„319,060. The value of pro. 
ducts was $11,775,833, and of raw materials con-

KENTUCKY is bounded on the N. by Ohio, 
Ind. and 111., on the W. by Mo., on the S. by 
Tenn., and on the E. by Va. and W. Va. The 
Ohio washes itsnortliern border, the Big Sandy 
R. its eastern and the Mississippi its westerii, 
while the crest of the Cumberland Mts. marks 
its south-eastern limit, separating it from \^a. 
The area is 37,480 sq. mis., or 23,987,200 acres. 

Sur/ace.—The eastern is the highest portion 
Of Ky., and is occupied by the western slopes 
and outlying ridges of the Cumberland Mts. 
These ridges either trend parallel with the 
principal chain, like the Pine Mts., the Ken- 
tucky Ridge and others, or they branch off from 
the Cumberlands at right angles, trending N. 
W. and, like the Owsley Mts., separating the 
head waters of several important tributaries of 
the Ohio R. Neither the Cumberlands or their 
branches attain fully the height of 3,000 feet 
above the level of the sea, yet the entire region 
occupied by them is extremely broken, and 
• the streams traverse narrow and deeply de- 
pressed valleys between precipitous and dense- 
ly timbered heights. A line from the point 
■where the Big Eork of the Cumberland R. 
crosses the southern line of the state to the 
Junction of the Tug Pork and the AVest Fork of 
the Sandy R. marks the western limit of the 
mountain region. 

That portion of the state which extends west- 
ward from this line to another line drawn from 
the S. E. corner of Trigg co. to the Ohio R., near 
the mouth of Salt R.,is an undulating table-land, 
and may be considered as the continuation of 
the Highland Rim of Tenn. (See Tenn.) It has 
an elevation above the seaof 600 to 900feet,and its 
surface is considerably diversified. In the cen- 
ter of the state the undulations attain, in Mul- 
draughs Hill, to a considerable height, and along 
the banks of the Ohio extends a range known 
as the Ohio hills. The extensive district in the 
niidst of which lie the cities of Fi-aukford and 
Lexingtoh is a plain, much lower than the 
general surface of the plateau, and famous, 
as the " blue grass region," for its extraordinary 



fertility of soil. It is the garden of the state, 
and has a soil of deep black mould, almost 
without sand. Much of the country between 
the Cumberland and Green Rs. is occupied by. 
the so-called " Barrens," treeless plains of poor 
soil, with isolated wooded hills, or "oak knobs." 
A striking feature of the state is the sinkhole9 
and limestone caverns, large numbers of which 
occur in the portion lying S. W. of the center. 
The famous Mammouth Cave in Edmonston co. 
has, with its branches, an extent of probably 
more than 40 mis., and consists of a series of con- 
nected chambei"s,from the vaults of which hang 
immense stalactites, while stalagmites, equally 
gigantic, rise from the floors in the form of 
pointed pillars and columns. The sinkholes 
are cone-shaped depi-essions or cavities, from 
60 to 70 feet deep, and from 60 to 300 feet in cir- 
cumference at the top. In some cases the hot- 
tom is open and discloses a subten-anean 
stream. 

The western part of Ky. is a gently rolling 
plain. 

Rivers. — Nearly all the streams draining this 
state are affluents of the Ohio R., which washes 
the entire northern boundary, a distance of 
over 600 mis. The Sandy R. is formed by the 
Tug Fork and the West Fork, both of which 
rise in Virginia and burst through depressed 
gaps of the Cumberland Mts. The Tug Fork 
and the main stream form the north-western 
state line. Licking R. rises in Magoffin co., 
flows N. W. and empties into the Ohio R. op- 
posite Cincinnati, between the cities of Coving- 
ton and Newport. It is not navigable. The 
Kentucky R. is formed by the North, Middle 
and South Forks, wliich rise in the Cumberland 
Mts. and unite in Owsley co. It joins the Ohio 
near Trestpnville, and is navigable for 65 mis. 
Salt R. intersects the center of the state and 
empties near West Point. Steamboats ascend 
it 25 mis. above its mouth. Green R., the largest 
stream belonging exclusively to the state, rises 
in Lincoln co., flows W. as far as Muhlenburg 
CO., and turning N, N. W. empties a few mis. 
above Evansville, Ind. For a distance of 200 
mis. it is navigated by steamboats, and smaller 
craft ascend still farther. The Big Barren R., 
Pond R., Saline Cr. and Rough Cr. are its prin- 
cipal trilnitaries. The Cumberland R. rises in 
the mountain chain bearing the same name, 
bursts through several of the lower ridges, aiicl | 
after describing a vei-y tortuous course makes / 
a bend into Tenn. It re-enters the state in 
Trigg CO., and joins the Ohio near Smithland, 
in Living.ston CO. It is navigable to Nashville, 
Tenn. Of the Tennessee R. the lower course 
only belongs to Ky., and it joins the Ohio a few 
mis. above Paducah. It is navigable far be- 
yond the limits of the state. The Mississippi 
R. washes the western border and receives in 
Ky. but a few small tributaries, asMayfleldCr., 
Obion R. and Bayou de Chien. 

Climale.—The climate of Ky. is mild. The 
winters usually last from December to the end 
of March, and on the whole are not severe, 
though the thermometer occasionally falls as 
low as 15° Fahr. In the southern cos. cattle 
rarely require shelter. The summers are long 
and warm, with rise of temperature to 95° and 
even 100°. The mean annual temperature in 
the middle portions of the state is about 55°, 
South-westerly winds prevail in the spring and 
summer, and rain falls most abundantly in the 
winter and early spring, while the summer and 
fall are often distinguished by long droughts. 
Ky. when first settled was well timbered, and 
the mountainous or hilly portions arc even now 
covered with extensive forests of deciiluous 
trees. The ' 'Barrens" resemble l^he more north- 
ern prairies and atford good pasturage. 

Fopulalion.— Ky. had, in 1790, 73,677 inhabi- 
tants ; in 1800, 220,9.55; in 1810, 406,511; in 1820, 
564,135 ; in 1830, 687,917 ; in 1840, 779,828 ; in 1850, 
982,405 ; in 1860, 1,155,684, and in 1870, 1,321,01L Of

024 in professional and personal services, 25,292 
in trade and transportation, and 44,197 in manu- 
factures and mechanical and mining industries. 

Mining and Minerals. — Kentucky is aljundant- 
ly supplied with pi-oductive coal "beds and iron 
deposits. The coal crops out on the river banks 
and hill sides in the eastern portions of the 
state and on the Ohio. Although not yet ex- 
tensively mined, it will in future supply the 
domestic requirements and support an exten- 
sive manufacturing industry. The principal 
coal mines are in the north-eastern portion of 
the state, and yield a very superior coal. 

AgriciMnre. — Kentucky has a productive soil, 
and, with the exception of the highest ridges or 
a few limited areas and sandy knobs in the 
"Barrens," is every where well adapted to the 
purposes of the farmer and stock raiser. The 
region of the Licking and Kentucky Rs., from 
their sources to the banks of the Ohio It., and 
measuring a hundi-ed mis. square, is one of the 
richest in the United States, and possesses in its 
deep black mould an inexhaustible source of 
wealth. Indian-corn and tobacco are the great 
staples of the state. In 1870 there were produced 
50.091,066 bushels of the former, and 105,305,869 
lbs. of the latter, mostly grown in the Ohio val- 
ley. The other productions were : Spring wheat, 
38,532 bush.; winter wheat, 5,690,172 bush.; rye, 
1,108,933 bush.; oats, 6,620,103 bush.; cotton, 1,080 
bales; wool, 2,234,450 lbs.; Irish pot's, 2,391,062 
bush.; sweet pot's, 802,114 bush.; wine, 62,360 
gallons; butter, 611,874,978 lbs.; hay, 204,399 tons, 
and sorghum molasses. 1,740,453 gallons. 

The live stock had a value ot $66,287,343, and 
comprised 317,034 horses, 90,230 mules and asses, 
247,615 milch cows, 69,719 working oxen, 382,993 
other cattle, 936,765 sheep, and 1,8.38,227 swine. 
The slaughtered animals had a value of $24,121,- 
861. 

The improved land measured 8,103,850 acres ; 
woodland, 9,134,658 acres, and other unimproved 
land, 1,421,598. The cash value of farms was 
$311,238,896; of farm implements, $8,572,S9f> ; and 
of all farm productions, including additions to 
stock, $87,477,374. The amount of wages paid 
during the year, including value of board, was 
$10,709,382. 

Manii/actttres. — In 1870 there were In Ky. 5,390 
manufacturing establishments against 3,450 
in 1860. The number of steam-engines was 1,147, 
with 31,928 horse-power, and the number of 
hands employed was 30,636, who received 
$9,444,524 in wages. The capital invested was 
$29,277,809 against $20,256,579 in 1860, and the value 
of productions $54,625,809 against $37,931,240. The 
principal industries were as follows : Agricul- 
tural implements ; (value of goods in 44 estab- 
lishments), $1,384,917 ; the 420 boot and shoe shops 
produced goods of $l,14i,6.S4 in value; the car- 
riages and wagons had a value of $1,339,909; men's 
clothing, $1,068,258; flour and meal, $7,886,734; 
furniture, $1,361,149 ; forged and rolled iron, $2,- 
464,928; pig iron, $2,182,482; iron-castings, not 
specified, $2,363,473 ; leather, tanned and curried, 
$1,693,574 ; distilled liquors, $4,532,730; sawed lum- 
beu, $3,662,086 ; saddles and harness, $1,013,852 ; 
tin, copper and sheet-iron ware, $1,051,026 ; 
chewing, smoking and snufling tobacco, $1,647,- 
669 ; cigars, $449,335, and woollen goods, $897,057. 

Commerce and Kailroads. — The great border 
Btreams of Ky., and the navigable rivers inter- 
eecting it, ati'ord exceUeut commercial facili- 



ties, and the surplus products of the state, as 
salt, beef, pork, bacon, cotton bags, etc., are 
shipped in steam and flatljoats toNew Orleans. 
Large numbers of horses and mules are annu- 
ally driven to tlie Atlantic States, and com- 
mand a good price. 

As regards the construction of railroads, Ky. 
has not kept pace with the states north of it. 
In 1841 the railroad mileage was 28, and remained 
so for the next 7 years. In 1851 it had increased 
to 94 ; in 1862 to .567, and in 1872 to 1,123. The 
principal lines are: The Eastern Kentucky 11. 
K., from Riverton to Grayson (23 mis.), with two 
short branches to the coal mines of 5 mis.; the 
Elizabethtown & Paducah 11. R. (185 mis.), of 
v/hich 160 mis. W. of Elizabethtown are in opera- 
tion ; the Kentucky Central R. R., from Coving- 
ton, oyjposite Cincinnati, to Lexington (99 mis.); 
the Louisville, Cincinnati & Lexington R. K., 
from Louisville to Lexington (93>^mls.), with a 
branch from LaGrange to Covington (77}^ mis.); 
the Louisville & Nashville R. R. (185 mis.), with 
a branch to Bardstown (17 mis.), another to Liv- 
ingston (110 mis.), another to Richmond (33J4 
mis.), and another to Tenn. state line (46"/^ mis.), 
and the Paducah & Memphis R. R. (165 nils.), of 
which 63^ mis., from Taducah to Troy, Tenn., 
are in operation. 

Edvccdion, etc. — According to the report of 
the Superintendent of Public Instruction for 
the year ended June 30, 1871, there were 40.5,427 
children of the school age in the state, of whom 
but 120,866 attended the public schools. The.num- 
ber of school districts was 5,117, and of schools 
5,068. A new school law, providing a system of 
free schools on the New England model, was 
passed in 1870, but has not thus far been success- 
fully carried into effect. The Suiierintende'nt 
says : " The neglect hitherto of our school inter- 
ests, and the inadequacy of means in the poorer 
sections for generations, have left a large per- 
centage of the adult population utterly desti- 
tute of the barest elements of education, while 
the balance have only enough to say that they 
are one degree better olT. The result is, that the 
ideas of the people as to what education is, and 
what the schools need, are of the crudest and 
most imperfect kind." The most important of 
the higher institutions of learning is the Ken- 
tueky University, with which is connected the 
Agricultural College. The university has funds 
to the amount of $400,000, and real estate to the 
value of $250,000. There are 25 academies, with 
20,000 pupils, in the state, and 20 colleges, with 
2,5(X) pupils. 

The charitable institutions are the State 
House of Reform for Juvenile Delinquents, es- 
tablished in 1872 ; the Western Lunatic Asylum 
at Hopkinsville, the Eastern Lunatic Asylum 
at Lexington, the Kentucky Institution for the 
Education and Training of Feeble Minded 
Children at Frankfort, and the Kentucky Insti- 
tution for the Education of Deaf Mutes at Dan- 
ville. 

The Kentucky Penitentiary is located at 
Frankfort. 

The Press.— In 1870 Kentucky had 89 newspa- 
pers, with a circulation of 197,130, including 6 
dailies, 4 tri-weeklies, 4 semi-weeklies, 68 week- 
lies and 7 monthlies. The following papers had 
the largest circulation : " Louisville Courier- 
Journal," daily etlition, 12,600, and weekly edi. 
tion, 22,300 circulation ; the •' Louisville Com- 
mercial," daily edition, 7,800; weekly edition, 
10,000; "Louisville Christian Observer, 8,500; 
"Lexington Apostolic Times," weekly, 6,000. 

Wealih, Taxalion and Debt.—T\\u true value of 
personal and real estate was $1104,318,552 ; the 
assessed value of the same, $409,544,294 : of which 
ji«8,064,600 were for personal and $311,479,(i94 lor 
real estate. The state taxation in the same 



year was $2,254,413; county ta.xation, $1,;J07,S33, 
and town,citv, etc., taxation, $2,167,s72; making 
the total taxation, not national, $.5,730,118. 
The Governor, in his message to the LcgisUv

KENTUCKY.

KEOKUK JUNCTION. 



ture in January, 1873, says that the finances of 
the state are in a most healthy and prosperous 
condition. At the close of the fiscal year, end- 
ed October 10, 1871, the bonded debt (exclusive 
of the school debt, which is a permanent loan, 
and not therefore redeemable) was $1,069,391. 
Since that period there has been redeemed and 
canceled up to October 10, 1S7'2, lionds amount- 
ing in the aggregate to ^303,000 ; leaving niip.aid, 
due and not due, $766,394. To this amount must 
be added $200,000 of bonds, issued under the 
provisions of the act approved January IS, 1872, 
to provide for the deficit in the treasury on ac- 
COUTit of the revenue proper. 

Tlie means at commantl of the commissioners 
Of the sinking fund for the redemption of the 
foregoing amount of indebtedness ($966,394) and 
the interest thereon, were $2, 420,392. The receipts 
for the fiscal • year ended October, 1873, were 
estimated at $1,024,460, and the expenditures at 
$1,476,469, leaving a deficit of $452,009. To this 
must be added the deficit of the preceding j'ear, 
amounting to $36.0,366, making the total deficit 
$717,375. To )n-ovide for this and to prevent any 
future deficit, the Governor recommends that 
a ver5' large portion of the receipts, which now 
go into the sinking fund, be diverted into the 
revenue proper. Not only are there in the 
treasury $544,()23 to the credit of the sinking 
fund, but the state has loaned to the Bank ot 
Kentucky and the Farmers' Bank the sum of 
$1,147,368. making an aggregate of $1,691,991 in 
cash and available assets with which to redeem 
the bonded debt of the state. 

Gover7iment.—The Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor, Auditor, Attorney-General and Superin- 
tendent of Public Instruction are elected by 
the people for a term of four years. The Gov- 
ernor is ineligible for the four years succeeding 
the expiration of his term. If a vacancy occur 
in the office of governor during the first two 
years of the term, it is filled by a new election ; 
and if it occur during the last two years, the 
Lieutenant-Governor, and after him the Speak- 
er of the House, becomes acting governor. Tlie 
Treasurer is elected for a term "of two years. 
The Secretary of State is appointed by the 
Governor by and with the advice of the Senate. 
The Senate comprises 38 members, who are 
chosen for four years, one-half bienniallj'. The 
members of the House of Uepresentatives, num- 
bering 100, are elected for two years. The ses- 
sions of the legislature are biennial and cannot 
continue longer than 60 days, without a two- 
thirds vote of tlie members of each branch. 
ISvery male citizen who has resided two years 
in the state, one year in the county and sixty 
days in the precinct in which he oners his vote, 
is a legal elector. 

The highest judicial tribunal of the state is 
the Court of Appeals, which has appellate juris- 
diction over the final orders and judgments of 
all other courts in civil cases, where the amount 
in controversy exceeds $50 ; or in cases of judg- 
ment granting divorce, or on a judgment of an 
inferior court from which an appeal is given to 
the Circuit Court. 

The circuit courts have original jurisdiction 
in cases where the amount in controversy ex- 
ceeds $.50'? appellate jurisdiction in certain 
specified cases, and criminal jurisdiction for 
the trial of all otfenses wliich may be prose- 
cuted by indictment, and all prosecutions and 
final actions, except where exclusive jurisdic- 
tion is given to other courts. There are also 
county courts and justices of the peace. 
Judges of the Court of Appeals are elected for 
terms of 8 years, one every second year, and 
the judge having the shortest term to serve is 
chief justice. The judges of the circuit courts 
are elected for 6 years, and the justices of the 
pe!i,ce for 4 years.

*Key West, city and the co. seat of Monroe 
CO., Fla.; is situated on the most westerly of 
the islands known as the "Florida Keys." The 
name is a corruption of the Spanish Cayo 
Huesco, Bone Key, or Bone Island. It has a 
good harbor and is a port of entry. The 
principal industries are " sponging " and "tur- 
ning." The sponges are obtained on the reef 
and along the shores of Fla. Extensive salt 
■works have been long in operation. Cigars 
are manufactured. Some of the inhabitants 
are engaged in the perilous business of 
"wrecking," Avhich is quite remunerative. 
The wreckers are usually content with a just 
and equitable salvage. It is a United States 
station for suppU-ing vessels with provisions, 
coal, etc. Fort Taylor has been erected at the 
entrance of the harbor and will mount 200 
heavy guns. The climate is equable and heal- 
thy, and many consumptives resort to the 
city on this account. The mean winter tem- 
perature varies from 09 to 70 degrees. The 
steamboats of the New York, New Orleans & 
Galveston line, the Baltimore, Havana & New 
Orleans line and others touch at Key West.

Long Island Sound separates T-. I. Irom the 
stales of Conn, and N. Y. It 19 about Ho nils, 
long and from 2 to 25 mis. wide. Its western 
end, called the East R., forms a narrow strait, 
separating the cities of New York ami Brook- 
lyn and joining New York B. Some rocky 
ledges in the East R. produce a whirliiool, 
called IL'll or Hurl-Gate, which prevents the 
passage of large ships. The work ol removin" 
the rocks and iheiebv dec-pening the channel 
has been commenced. When this improve- 
ment is flnished, the largest ships may go to

liOnSIANA is bounded on the S. by the 
Gulf of Mexico; on the N. by Ark. and Miss.; 
on the W. by Tex., and on tlie E. by Miss. Its 
total area is 41,346 sq. mis., or 26,461,440 acres. It 
includes the extensive delta of tlie Missis- 
sippi. 

Surface. — The state throughout is a low, allu- 
vial plain, in no part rising more than 200 feet 
above the sea level. The north-western and 
western counties are hilly, and better drained 
than the southern and eastern. These latter 
Include extensive swamps and caue-brakes, 
often overflowed by the tides. Along the Mis- 
sissippi R. much oif the soil is below the level 
of the stream during high water, and is pro- 
tected from inundation by levees or dykes of 
earth. The occasional yielding of one of these 
levees causes what is called a " crevasse," 
through which the water pours with great 
force, causing a widespread destruction of 
property. 

Rivers and Lakes. — The chief river of La. is 
the Mississippi. This magnilicent stream is 
navigable throughout its whole length in the 
state for the largest steamboats at all seasons 
of the year. It brings down vast quantities of 
earth in solution, which it deposits at its mouth, 
forming a delta of rich soil. (See Mississippi 
R.) The Red R., also a large and navigable 
stream, extends through the central and north- 
western part of the state, and forms an impor- 
tant avenue of inland commerce. The Washita, 
in the N., and the Calcasieu, in the S. are also 
rivers of considerable magnitude. Numerous 
lakes and lagoons are scattered over the state. 
The largest is Lake Ponchartrain, N. of the city 
of New Orleans, which has a navigable con- 
nection with the Gulf of Mexico, throuajh 
Lake Borgne, and with Lake Maurepas on the 
W. These lakes are but expansions of the 
Amite R., which rises in Miss, and empties into 
33 



Lake Maurepas. The Mississippi Delta also in- 
cludes a number of lakes, whicli are fed by the 
branches of the great river. Such are Grand 
Lake, an expansion of the Atchafalaya Bayou, 
Lake Washa, Lake Quitman and others. The 
Mermenteau, Calcasieu and Sa1>ine R^i. form 
each an extensive lake at no great distance 
from their mouths. The bed of the Red K. is 
obstructed by the " Great Raft," an aeoumnla- 
tion of drift-Vood, which causes the formation 
Ijy the back-water of extensive lakes, as Lake 
Caddo and others. Lakes Bodeau, Bistiuoou, 
Black, Spanish, Jatt, and Catahoula are drained 
by tributaries of Red R. 

Climate.— The climate of La. is warm, but with 
colder winters and more variable than the re- 
gions in the same latitude on the Atlantic coast. 
The mean annual temperature of New Orleans 
is about 69° Fall.; the mean annual rain fall is .50 
inches. The greater part of the rain is in the 
spring and summer inonths. Owing to the 
dampness, the variability of the temperature, 
and the extent of low, uudrained lands, the 
climate is an unhealthy one, especially for 
strangers. Yellow fever'and miasmatic fevers 
are yearly visitors in many sections. 

Tlie vegetation is luxuriant, oranges, sugar- 
cane, bananas, and other tropical productions 
being raised. The cypress, cedar and yellow 
pine ai'e among tlie principal trees. The 
lagoons abound in alligators, turtles and fish,, 
while serpents, and insects are numerous in 
the swam]3s. 

The Population of the state was, in ISIO, 76,556 ;: 
in 1820, 1.52,923; in 1831,21.5,739; in 1840, 352,411 ; in 
1850, 517,762 ; in 1860, 708,002 and in 1870, 726,915. As^ 
La. was originally colonized by France, the 
inhabitants largely consist of descendants- of 
the early French settlers, who have preserved 
their language and customs. Spaniards and: 
descendants of Spaniards are also numerous.. 
The race division of the population, according 
to the last census reports, is as follows : Whites. 
362,065; colored persons, 364,210 ; Chinese, 71, and' 
Indians 569. The latter are out of tribal rela- 
tions. 

According to their nativity, the inhabitants 
are thus divided: Born in the United States,, 
665,088 ; inclusive of 501,864 natives of the State ; 
born in foreign countries, 61,827. The latter, in 
1870, comprised 714 British Americans, 18,933. 
Germans, 792 Englishmen, 17,068 Irishmen and 
814 Scotchmen. 

The total population in 1870 included 52<>,302 
persons of ten years and more of a.ge, and of 
these 256,452 were engaged in the various classes- 
of useful oecupation.s, viz.: 141,467 in agricul- 
ture, 65,.347 in professional and personal services, 
23,831 in trade and transportation, and 25,807 in 
manufactures and mechanical industries. 

Minerals. — The tertiary formation, which oc- 
cupies two-flfths of the state N. of a line from 
the junction of the Sabine and Neches Rs. to 
Harrisonljurgh, in Catahoula parish, contains, 
iron, ochre, gypsum, marl and coal. The latter 
is however not of the best quality. The south- 
ern part of the state, including the Mississippi 
Delta, is composed of alluvium, brought down 
and deposited by the Mississippi and its tnbuta-- 
taries. Beds of pure sulphur nave been found 
below these deposits. 

Agriculture.— T:\\q best soil of La. is that of ' 
the river bottoms, and may be considered inex- 
haustible. The higher portions consist of open 
prairies, which are but moderately productive.. 
Sugar and cotton are the great iigricultural 
staples of the state. Of the former were pro- 
duced, in 1870, 80,706 hogsheads against 221,726. 
hogsheads in 1860 ; and of the latter 350,832, bales 
against 777,738 bales in 1860; thus showing a tle- 
plorable decrease in the chief industry, due to 
the disastrous effects of tlie civil war and the 
consequent disorganization of society and tlie 
state. The other products, according to the 
census, were : 4,583,150 gallons of cane molasses^:

Coinnicrce. — La. lias nnequaled facilities for 
•commercial iiitercourse. Bordering on an ac- 
•eessible branch of the sea, and beinic traverse<l 
Sa several directions by tlie most maLrnitieent 
Biavif^able streams, this state is the natural out- 
let for the surplus products of the great cen- 
tral plain of the continent — the Mississippi 
Valley — the most extensive body of rich lands 
on the face of the globe. In addition to 
her unequaled w.ater communications, she has 
a railroad system which will soon connect her 
principal cities witn the states lying to the E. 
and t(i the W. In isfii tht! mileage of her rail- 
roads was S35: in 1S72, 53'.t. The New Orleans, 
Mobih! & Texas R. 11. intersects the state from 
E. to W. The division from Mobile to New 
Orleans (140 rals.) is In working order, and the 
division from the latter city to Houston, Tex. 
(335 mis.), in rapid progress of construction. 
Two branches of this road connect Vermillion- 
vllle with Shrevcport and Brashear City. The 
New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern R. R. 
is completed from New (Orleans to Canton, 
Miss. (20(> mis.), and the New Orleans, Baton 
Kouge & Vicksburg R. R. has been projected. 

La. has two ports of entcy : New Orleans and 
Teche, whose combined registered, enrolled 
.and licensed vessels in 1871 numbered 255, with 
51,.3f)5 tons. Forty-one of these vessels, with 
20,718 tons, were steamers. The value of im- 
ports was $19,427,238, and of domestic exiiorts, 
$93.9.11,081. 

WerMh. Taxation and DebL—The assessed value 
of real estate, in 1870, was $191,3-i;i,37(i ; and of 
personal propertv, ij;i;2,028,514; but the true 
A'alue of both was estimated at $.323,12."),(>6(!. The 
total, not national, taxation was .•«;7,0(JO,722, of 
•which $2,671,(593 were state taxes, $4,1(19,999 
county taxes, and $>79,0.50 citv and town taxes. 
The total public debt had reached the enor- 
mous amount of $53,0S7,44l, which inclu<led$25,- 
021,734 state indebti'duess ; $1,32(5,(535 of county 
lndebtedness,and •jiiii. 73.1,072 of city and town in- 
debtedness. In isTi the state debt wasestimat- 
ed at $:50, 244, 7.52, being exceeded only by the 
debt of the wealthy state of N. Y. 

Eiliic(ition.—Tl\(i number of school children in 
the state, in 1870, was 2.53..'5.53. according to the 
report of the State Superiiilendeiit of Public 
Education; but only 2.3.223 (l"'^-' than 10 per. 
cent.) of these were enrolled i>upils. There 
were 2.30 public schools with 524 teachers, and 
132 private schools with 2a3 teachers and (5,170 
pupils. There were also 48 classical, technical 
and professional schools with 440 teachers ami 
over .">.00(i pupils. The Louisiana State l^niver- 
Bity, located at Baton Uouge, was organized in 



18(50, and had, in 1870, 185 students (here called 
cadets). Straight University, at New Orleans, 
is making steady progress and gives promise 
of extended usefulness in the future. Union 
Normal School, also at New Orleans, is sustain- 
ed by the :Methodists. 

The number of papers ptibli.shed in 1870, in 
La., was 92. which had a circulation of 84,1(5.5. 
Seven of these were dailies and 75 weeklies. 
The " New Orleans Picayune,'' of New Orleans, 
has the largest influence anfl a cirenlalion or 
12,200. The "New Orleans Times," the " Bee," 
and the " Deutsche Zeitung" were the only 
other papers w'hose circulation exceeded .5,000. 

Government.— L.B, Salle, a French navi.gator, 
first ascended the Mississippi in 1(582, and took 
jiossession of both banks under the name of 
Louisiana. The first permanent colonies were 
established in 1699 and 1700, an<l New Orleans was 
founded in 1718. In 1803 the territory of which 
La. forms a part was sold to the United States 
tor the sum of 812,000,000, and in 1812 it was ad- 
mitted as a state into the Union. The Gover- 
nor. Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, 
Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Educa- 
tion and Attorney-General are chosen for the 
term of four years. The Senate is composed of 
.3(5 memb(U-s, "who are elected for four years 
(one-half bienniallj'). The House of Represen- 
tatives consists of 101 members. The constitu- 
tion proviiles that it shall not exceed 120 mem- 
bers and not be less than 90. Every mah^ person 
of the age of 21 years and upward,'born or natu- 
ralized in the United States, and a resident of 
the state one year next preceding an election 
and the last ten days within the parish in 
which he olfers to vote, shall be deenied an 
elector. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, Districts Courts, Parish Courts and Jus- 
tices of tiie Peace. The Supreme Court has ap- 
pellate jurisdiction only, and is composed of a 
Chief Justice and four Associate Justices. The 
justices of this court are appointed by the Gov- 
ernor, with the advice and consent of the Sen- 
ate, for eight years. The Supreme Court holds 
its sessions at New Orleans from the first Mon- 
day of November to the end of May. The state 
is divided into twelve districts, in each of which 
is one district court, except the district of 
New Orleans, which has seven. These courts 
have unlimited jurisdiction in criminal cases ; 
original jurisdiction in all cases in which the 
amount in dispute exceeds $.500, and appellate 
jurisdiction in cases in which the amount in 
disi>ute exceeds $100. 

La. is divided into the following 55 p.arishes : 
Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Bienville, 
Bossier, Caddo, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Cameron,

*IiOiiisvillc, city, a port of entry and the co. 
seat of Jefferson co., Ky.; is situated on the 
Ohio R. above the falls, H2 mis. below Cincin- 
nati, 61S mis. below Pittsburgh, and 387 mis. 
above Cairo. It is the terminus of the Louis- 
ville, Cincinnati & Lexington R. R.; the Louis- 
ville & Kashville R. R.; the Jeffersouville, 
Madison & Indianapolis R. R. ; the Louisville 
Branch of the Ohio & Mississippi R. R.; the 
Memphis & Louisville Line, and the Louis- 
ville, New Albany & Chicago R. R. 

The great prosperity of the city is chiefly 
due to its advantageous commercial position 
in the centre of the Ohio Valley and the high- 
ly productive country surrounding it. As a 
market for tobacco, whisky, horses, cattle and 
pork, it holds a foremost rank among the 
cities W. of the Alleghanies. Tobacco is stored 
in several immense "warehouses, and then sold 
at auction, either for home Cf)nsuniption or 
for direct exportation to Europe. In 18(i0 there 
were thus sold 17,-573 hhds.; in lS(iS, 29,.')09hhds.; 
in 1870, 40,047 hhds., and in 1871, 4x,008 hhds., ex- 
clusive of the large quantities changing hands 
at private sales. A Tobacco Exchange and 
Depot, of tlie largest dimensions is being 
erected by a chartered company, with a capi- 
tal of $5,000,000. The tobacco factories pro- 
duced, in 1871, 3,3.5-.',334 lbs. of chewing tobacco, 
against 2,.33'.>,75-2 lbs. in 1870, and ,52fj,3'21 lbs. of 
smoking tobacco, against 140,-507 lbs. in 1870. 

The sales of whisky, mostly the famous 
"Bourbon," amounted in 1870 to 9,853,173 gal- 
lons. The horses and cattle of Ky., especially 
those raised in the Blue Grass region, are cele- 
brated throughout the Union. In 1870 there 
■were sold in L. 24,000 horses and mules ; 110.000 
cattle ; 000,0;)0 hogs, and 100,000 sheep. In the 
seven pork houses of the city, 204,826 hogs 
■were killed and packed. L. has 519 manufac- 
turing establishments, employing 11,000 hands 
anil a capital of nearly $17,000,000, and produc- 
ing goods to the value of $10,84-5,000. The larg- 
est manufactories are : 10 iron foundries, 3 
brass foundries, 4 plow factories, 4 distilleries, 
5 breweries, 4 furniture factories, 2 stove 
found ries, 2 paper mills, 9 planing mills, 2 hub 
and spoke factories, 10 tanneries, 5 woollen 
factories, 3 cotton factories, 3 oil mills, 3 agri- 
cultural implement -works, flouring mills, 7 
tobacco factories, 2 white lead works, a chemi- 
cal factory, an edge tool factory, a bolt fac- 
tory, 2 glass factories and a steel factory. 

In 1871 there were built on the wharves of 
L. 23 steamboats and 10 barges, having an 
aggregate capacity of 13,140 tons. 

The first permanent settlement on the spot 
now occupied by L. was made in 1778, and in 
1828 it was incorporated as a city. Two years 
later it had a population of about 10,000 ; in 
18(50, 7.5,085, and in 1870, 100,753, making it the 
fourteenth largest city in the Union. The na- 
tives of the United iStates numbered 75,085. 
and of foreign countries 25,609, including 850 
Frenchmen, 14,380 Germans, 930 Englishmen 
and 7,210 Irishmen. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
35,800 persons, viz.: 331 in agriculture, 15,329 in 
professional and personal services, including 
119 clergymen, 31 journalists, 214 lawyers, 241 
physicians and surgeons, 377 teachers, 5,8-24 



domestic servants and 5.612 laborers ; 7,652 in 
trade and transportation, and 12,488 in mauu- 
factures and mechanical occupations. 

The city lies on a beautiful and productivo 
plain, which extends 30 mis. along the S. bank 
of the Ohio R. The wide streets, running 
nearly parallel with the stream, are inter- 
sected by others at right angles. Except the 
principal business avenues (Jefferson, Mar- 
ket and Main), the streets are lined with 
shade trees, and the residences stand in gar- 
den plats and lawns. 

The chief public work of L. is the Louisville 
& Portland Canal, which -was constructed 
around the falls in the river, and is about 2'-^ 
mis. long. The magnificent railroad bridge 
which spans the Ohio R. is 21^ mis. long, and 
rests upon 16 massive stone piers. Another 
similar bridge has been projected and will 
soon be built. 

The city is divided into 14 wards, each of 
-which is "represented in the general council 
by 2 couucilmen and 1 alderman. The mayor 
is elected for two years. The City Hall, Court 
House and House of Refuge are among the 
most prominent public buildings. The Uni- 
versity of Louisville was orgaiiized in 1837, 
and comprises two faculties (of law and of 
medicine). It possesses a fine library and a 
collection of philosophical apparatus. There 
is also a medical college, with 15 professors. 
The city has two high schools for boys and 
one high school for girls, several intermediate 
schools and district schools. The attendance 
of the public schools in 1870 was 9,705, and the 
total expenditure for the same amounted to 
$188,883. The school-houses had a value of 
$598,000. An excellent German-American aca- 
demy was founded in 1857, and reorganized 
1805. The Mercantile Library contains more 
than 20,000 volumes, and the Historical Society 
has many important and rare works, illus- 
trating the early history of the state. 

The city lias 70 churches, many of whicb are 
magnificent structures, as the Cathedral, St. 
Paul's Episcopal Churcli, the First Presbj'- 
terian Church and others. 

The leading newspapers are : The " Louis- 
ville Courier-Journal," daily and weekly; the 
" Louisville Commercial," ilaily and weekly ; 
the "Louisville Ledger," evening daily and 
weekly; "Lousville Volksblatt " and "Louis- 
ville Angeiger," both German dailies and 
weeklies. The total number published is 
twenty-seven.

MAINE, the most north-eastern state of the 
Union; is bounded on the S. by the Atlantic 
Ocean, on the N. by Canada, on the W. by N. H. 
and on the E. by "New Brunswick. It has an 
area of 35,000 sq. mis., or -22.400,000 acres. It ex- 
tends from 43' 5' to 47^ 30' N. lat. and from 6o° 
50' to 71° VV. lonij., being about 'J.'iO mis. long from 
N. to S. and 190 mis. wide from E. to W. 

The sea-coast, though in a straight line, con- 
tained within about i%° of long., extends with 
all its bays, indentations .and peninsulas over 
more than 3,000 mis., and is without exception 
the most broken and irregvilar of any state of 
the Union bordering on the ocean. It has a 
general N. E. and S. W. trend, conforming to 
the direction of the rock strata found through- 
out the state, is steep and rocky, and presents 
innumerable picturesque promontories, mag- 
nificent island scenery and valuable harbors. 

At its eastern extremity is Passamaquoddy 
B., which receives the St. Croix K., separating 
Me. from New Brunswick, and projects Lubec 
B. far into the land. Leaving Passamaquoddy 
B. we double Quoddy Head, and after a sail of 
23 mis. reach Mathias B. Tlien follows English- 
man's B., with Rogue and Mistake islands ; Nar- 
ragnagas B., Frenchman's B., with the lofty 
peaks of Mt. Desert Island, so famous for its 
grandeur ; Isle Haute B., forming, with Penob- 
scot B. and Belfast B., the magniliccnt estuary 
of the Penobscot R., and w.asliing the shores of 
Fox Island, Deer Island and Long Island ; Mus- 
congus B., Dam.ariscotta B., Shcepscott B., the 
romantic estuary of Kennebec R., Quohog B., 
Casco B. (with its numberless small islands), 
Saco B., and, lastly, the wide mouth of the Pis- 
cataqua R. 

/Surface. — A broad belt of mountain country 
enters Mo. on its western boundary, andtrevid- 
ing in a north-easterly direction far into New 
Brunswick, occupies the central portions of the 
state. This belt is a part of the Appalachian Sys- 
tem, and more especially of the SV^hite Mts. of 
N. II. It bears numerous peaks of great height, 
which do not, however, form continuous ranges, 
but rather separate groups, often verj' irregu- 
larly arranged. In Oxford co. there are many 
summits but little less elevated than Mt. Wash- 
ington and others of the adjacent state. Farther 
E. they gradually diminish in height until they 
appi'oach the western bank of the Kennebec R., 
in Somerset co., where the continuity of the 
belt is broken l)y the valley of this stream. On 
its eastern banks the highlands reappear, first 
in broad swells and hills, and then again as- 
sume, in Piscataquis co., the impressive moun- 
tain size, especially on the northern tributaries 
of the Piscataquis'R., as in Eberao and Spencer 
mountains. From Mt. Katahdin (5,7-20 feet), the 
culminating height of tliis part of the high- 
lands, there is again a gradual falling oflf, and 
another break is formed by the valley of the 
East Branch of the Penobscot. Beyond this river 
the highlands trend off to the state line of New 
Brunswick, where Mars Hill (about '2,000 feet 
high) forms the eulminating point. Among the 
numerous peaks of this last section may be 
mentioned the " Sugar Loaf," Chase's l^It., 
Speckled Mt., or Mt. Mattaluek, near Crrafton ; 
Mt. Puzzle, in Hanover; Mt. Blue, in Avon; Mt. 



Abram, in Salem, and Saddleback and Bigelow 
in New V'ineyard. 

North of this highland belt the country grad- 
ually slopes down to the broad valley of the R. 
St. John, while the north-western bo'undary of 
Me. is formed by the range which divides the 
waters of the St. Lawrence from the Atlantic 
Ocean, and which is one of the prolongations 
of the Green Mts. of Vt. Toward the S. the high- 
land belt sinks down to the sea-coast. 

Hivers and Lakes. — Me. is exceedingly -well 
supplied with streams, lakes and ponds. Five 
principal lake svstems may be distinguished ; 
that is, chains of lakes, coniiectod by rivers and 
thoroughfares and drained by main channels, 
which convey their surijlus waters to the ocean. 
The Umbagog chain, consisting of the lakes 
Umbagog, VVallakenabagog, Argwassuck and 
Musilla Maguntic, is drained by the Androscog- 
gin R. This stream rises in the N. W. corner bt 
the state, near Saddle Hill, flows S., makes a 
bend into N. 11., where it cuts through the high- 
land belt, then turns E., flowing along tho 
southern base of its highest mountain groups, 
and turning near Jay, in Franklin co., pursues 
a southerly course to the ocean. 

The Moosehead chain is drained by the Ken. 
nebec R., which flows in a southerly direction 
through the state and empties into the sea, hav- 
ing aii estuary in common with the Androscog- 
gin. The principal attluents of the Kennebec 
are Dead, Moose, Sands'^and Sabasticook Rs. 

The Penoliscot R. drains a larger portion of 
Me. than any other stream. It is formed by 
the confluence of the W. and E. branches, 
which join in Penobscot co. The Western 
Branch rises in the Laurentian water-shed near 
the N. W. state line, and has in the main an 
easterly course, draining Chesuneook Lake, 
Pemadumcook Lake, and Millinoket Lake. Into 
the northern extremity of Chesuneook Lake 
empties the Caucomgotiiac R., wliichis the out- 
let of a lake of the same name. The East Fork 
rises in the highland belt and has a general 
course to the S. S. E., draining Mattagomon 
Lake, and receiving the Sebols R., the outlet of 
Sebois Lake. The tributaries of the Penobscou 
R., S. of the junction of the two branches, are 
tlie Mattawamkeag R, (which receives tho 
Baskahegan R. and other outlets of lakes) ; tho 
Piscataquis R., draining Sebec Lake, Otter Pond 
and Endless Lake ; the Passadumkeag R. and 
others. 

Grand R. forms in part the eastern boundary 
of Me., is the outlet of the Schoodic or Grand 
Lake series, and empties into Passamaqotldy B. 

The fifth and last great lake series is that of 
the R. St. John, in the northern portion of tho 
state. This large stream rises n^-ar the 4iJtli 
parallel in Somerset co., ami pursues a N. N. E. 
course under the name of Vi oolastook R. On 
striking the state line it receives thd St. Fran- 
cis R., flows to the E. alon^the boundary, and 
turning S. intersects New Brunswick. Its lar- 
gest aiuuent in north-western Me. is the AUe- 
guash, which drains Telos Lake, Chamberlain 
Lake, Huron Lake, Umsaskis Lake and manv 
other smaller sheets of water. Fish 11., which' 
drains Madawaska Lake, Cross Lake, Square 
Lake, Eagle Lake and Long Lake, joins the St. 
John near F'ort Kent, and the Aroostook R., 
flo-vving along the northern base of the highland 
belt, joins it in New Brunswick. 

The south-western part of the state is drained 
bv the Saco R., which rises on the slope of Mt. 
Washington, the highest peak of the AVhita 
Mts. Its general course through the gorges of 
tho mountains is first southerly, then easterlj'. 
At Fryeburg it assumes a S. E. direction. 

The shorter rivers emptying into the Atlantic 
Ocean are tho following: Tresumpscut R., tho 
outlet of Sebago Pond, in Cumljerland co.; 
Sheepscot R., Union R., draining Hancock co.; 
Narraguagus R., Pleasant R. and Machias R., 
which is formed by the East and West branches.

Survovof Maine. Mr. 'Walter Wells, in liis ex- 
cellent report of 1«;9. estimates the inland 
waters— rivers and lakes— to cover .a total area 
of .3.'2<K),sq. mis., and the lakes alone 2,300 sq. uils., 
or alioiit 1-l.T part of the state. 

Climate and Vegetation.— TUii climate of Me. is 
salubrious. The winters are lon<i and often 
severe, but free from sudden chanRes. The sum- 
mers are pleasant and short. At Hiddeford, 
frosts have been observed as early as tln^ l.ith 
of September and as late as the 12th of June. 
Karelv does the season of plant growth last 
over four months. 

Observations made durinjr the year ending on 
December 1, 1S61, at Belfast, iu U° SU' N. hit., 
gave the following results: Mt-an annual tem- 
perat<ire,4i'.8-; highest temperature. 8.5°; lowest, 
-3-2°; greatest moiuhlv range of thothermome- 
ter. 78°. Northerly winds and south-westerly 
winds were most frequent ; sontlierly and east- 
erlv winds least frequent. 

The mean annual temperature at Fort Kent 
on the R. St. Jolm is about 37°; at Fort Fair- 
flcld, 3S°; at Eastport, 43°; at Castine, 43V<;°: at 
PortJand, 43 ."-JO^: at Hrnns wick and Bath, 4tJ^°, 
and at Gardiner nearly 44°. 

Me. Is one of the best timbered states of the 
Union, and notwithstanding immense traetsof 
forest have been cut down, enough is left to 
6ui)port the lumber l)usiness for many years to 
come. The total forest area has been estimated 
at upward of 21,000 sf|. nils. In the northern 
part of the state the forests consist chiefly of 
j)ine, hemlock and spruce. Deciduous trees, as 
maple, beech, birch, poplar, elm, etc., occur, 
but are less abundant than the coniferous trees. 

Wild animals are not rare in the thinly inhab- 
it(!d parts of the state. The moose, caribou, 
wild-cat and panther are sometimes met with 
ill the northern forests. The other animals are 
the deer, bear, mink, sable, martin, beaver, 
woodchuck, raccoon and squirrel. 'Wild geese 
and ducks inhabit the lakt^s and pojids ; pas- 
senger pigeons, humming birds anil other mi- 
gratory birds make their homes here during 
the warm season, and eagles, hawks, owls, etc., 
are found in all narts of the state. 

Population.— In 1700 Maine had 96,.>40 inhabit- 
ants; in If^OO, l.jl,710, in ISIO. 22'<..=i()7; in IS-iO. 20.^,- 
269; in ls;j0, a'.Hi,!;-^ ; in IMO, ,J01,710: in IS.W, .'i-'S,- 
109; in KS»iO, (;-2.s,279, and in 1S70, H>ti,91.i. During 
the last decade the decrease of population was 
l,3f)4 or somewhat over 1-5 per cent. The popu- 
lation is almost entirely white. In 1>I70 there 
•W(!re but l,t>Of> colored persons antl 499 Indians 
in Maine. Of the grand total, .57^.034 were na- 
tives of the United States, and of these, .ili^fi.iO 
natives of the state. The total foreign-born 
population was 48.8S1, including 26,6f;i natives of 
British America, ."MS of Germanv, 3. HI.") of Eng- 
land, l.">,74.">jof Ireland, and OiiSof ".Scotli\nd. 

The i)ersons of 10 years of iige and over num- 
bered 403,s47 : of these were engaged m all classes 
Of useful occupations, 20s,22.i, viz.: 80,011 in agri- 
cultural, 3tj.0'.>2 in professional and personal 
services, 28,11.') in trade and transportation, <i2,007 
in manufactures and meeiiauical industries. 

MineraU. — Maine is not a mining stale. Fine 
granite and marble are the chief mineral re- 
sources. Slate for rooting and school purposes 
is found in the northern i)art. 

Agriculture.— i:\\v. iimount of land in farms 
•was, in ls70, 5.838,0.5.^ acres, or 2.')'4 per cent, of 
the total area of the state. The number of 
acr«!S of improved land was 2.917.793; of wood- 
land, 2,224,740 acres, iind of unimproved farm 
lan<ls, ti95,,T25. Tin; total number of farms was 
By,s<t4, of which 22 ns9 bad from 20 to.W acres and 
19,781 from .50 to 100 acres. The cash value of 
lurir.s was $102,9(!1,951: of farm imiilenionts. :>il,. 
809,113; of farm productions, includiiigndditions 
to stock, !>33,470,044; of orchard products, $^74,509; 
and of forest products, isl,. 5.31, 741. 

'J'he principal products were : Spring wheat, 



274,.593 bush.; winter wheat, 4,200 bush.; rye, .^4,- 
115 bush.; Indian-corn, 1,0^9,888 bush.: oats, 2,3.51,- 
.3.54 1)ush.; bi'ck wheat, 4()(>,(!.35 bush.; Irish pot's, 
7.771.009 bush.; wool, 1.774,11)8 lbs.; butter, 11,036,- 
482 lbs.: cheese, l.ir.2,.590 lbs.; wine, 7.047 galls.; 
maple sugar, 100,805 lbs.; hay, 1»053,415 tons. 

The total value of live stock was $23,357,129, 
and of slaughtered animals, $4,9.39,071. The live 
stock inehiiled 71,514 horses, 33*) mules and asses, 
139.259 milch cows, 60,.530 working oxen, 143,272 
other cattle, 434,G()f) sheep and 4.5,700 swine. 

Moniifacttirci. — The immense amount of wa- 
ter-power afforded by the great fall of the 
rivers over long distances and the numerous 
cascades and rapids, gives this state great na- 
tural advantages for manufacturing. Walter 
\Vells, the Superintendent of the IIydiograi)hic 
Survev, already quoted, estimates tluit 1,229,. 
200,00*j;o00 cubicYcet of water is annually deliv- 
ered by the rivers into the sea; and that their 
fall in the passage through the slate averages 
000 feet. Allowing for the amount of water 4,429 
horse-power for each foot of fall, he concludes 
that the gross horse-power atforded to the state 
in its streams amounts to 2.057,400, which is 
equivalent to the working force of over 34,000,- 
000 men, laboring throughout the year. 

In l.'<70 only 70,108 horse-power ofVatcr-wheels 
was utilized, or I-38 part of the whole amount 
in the state. The 3.54 steam-engines had 9.40.5 
horse-jiower. The number of luanufaeturing 
estalilishutcnts was 5,550 against 3,810 in 1800, 
eniiiloying 49,1.80 horse-power, or nearly twice 
as niaiiv as in 1860. 

The total value of products was $79,497,521: the 
capital invested, $39,790,190, and the wages paid, 
$14,282-205. The raw materials consumed had a 
value of $49,379,757. Manufacturing is mostly 
carried on in the southern part of the.state.anil 
tlie counties producing the largest amounts of 
goods were: Androscoggin, $;4,010,.sl(j ; Cum- 
berland, $16,557,581 ; K(ninebec, $7,000,204 ; Penob- 
scot, $10,.5.50.944, and York, $!0.;550,982. 

The value of sawed lumber in 1870 was $11,39.5,- 
747, and of planed lumber, $.322,375. The cutting 
of the trees in the forests and the I'.aftingof the 
timber to the saw mills, which convert it into 
boards, shingles, etc., is one of the principal in- 
dustries of iie., and is mostly done in the win- 
ter, when the felled trees may be drawn over 
the snow to the rivers, which tloat it down to 
the mills on the breaking up of the ice. The 
manufacture of cotton gooils has also assumed 
of late large dimensions and produced the value 
of $11 739,781. The value of woollen goods was 
$6,1.50,620: of boots and shoes, $3,749,710; of car- 
riages and wagons, $1,051,4.88; of men's clothing, 
$2,881,863 ; of liour and meal, $4,415,998 ; of forged 
and rolled iron, $1,591,196 ; of tanned leather, 
$.3,779,227 ; of curried leather, .$1,082,.554 ; of retin- 
e<l sugar and molasses, >i3. 142,132; of oil floor- 
cloth, $1,314,01)0: and f)f ship building, repairing 
and sliip materials, $2.35>!.445. 

Commerce ami iJ'fi/roatZi.— The numerous har- 
bors and inlets along the broken coast give to 
Me. commercial t'.ieilities of theflrst order. The 
larger streams are navigable from 10 to .50 mis. 
inland. The imports and exports of the custom 
districts, in 1871, were as follows :

MAINE PRAIRIE. 



The nnmber of sailing vessels was 2,69{, wlncli 
had a tonnage of 379,45-t^, and the 53 steam ves- 
sels had a tonnage of 17,5()S. 

Me. had, in 1841, 11 mis. of railroads ; in l&'iO, 245 
mis.; in 185S, 429 mis.; in 1862,505 mis., and in 
1872, 871 mis. The following are the principal 
lines : Atlantic & St. Lawrence R. R., from Port- 
land to Island Pond, Vt., (149ixjmls ); Bangor & 
Piscataquis R. R., (48 mis.); IMaine Central R. R., 
main line from JBangor to Danville and from 
Danville to Cumberland (129 mis.), and leased 
branches (228 mis.), making a total of .355 mis. 
operated by the company ; European & North 
American R. R., from Bangor to Vanceborough 
(114 mis.); Knox & Lincoln R. R. (49 mis.): Port- 
land & Ogdensburg R. R. (60 mis.); Portland & 
Oxford Central R. R. (27i^ mis.): Portland, Saco 
& Portsmouth R. R. (.51 mis.); Portland & Ro- 
chester R. R. (52 mis.), and St. Croix & Penob- 
scot R. R. (22 mis.). 

WeaUh, Jkiraiion and Indebtedness. — The true 
value of real and personal estate in 1870 was 
$348,155,671 ; the assessed valuation of same, $134,- 
580,1.57. The financial condition of the state is 
highly satisfactory. The receipts for the year 
1872 were $1,334,860, and the disbursements $1,- 
147,544. On the first day of January, 1873, the 
public debt was $7,187,900 ; and as the sinking 
fund in the Treasury amounted to $1,020,247, the 
real indebtedness was but $6,167,6.53. Thesinking 
funds are rapidly accumulating ami will be 
amply sufficient to meet the debtafe it matures. 

Exclusive of the mill tax, the state tax of 
1872 was reduced $.50,000 or $60,000 from the pre- 
vious year ; and could be reduced to five mills 
on the dollar. 

The county taxes in 1870 amounted to ,$315,199, 
and the co. debt $274,1.53. The taxes of the towns 
and cities were $3,683,141, and the debts of the 
same $6,108,314, which were mostly incurred for 
the purposes of the civil war. 

Education. — The whole number of scholars 
between 4 and 21 years of age in 1871 was 228,167; 
and of these 121,12.5, or less than half, were regis- 
tered in the public schools. The average school 
attendance was 94,429. The number of school- 
houses was 4,004, inclusive of 158 built during 
the year. It is a singular and not fully 
explained fact, that during the last 10 years the 
number of persons of school age had decreased 
15,753, while for the same time there had been an 
increase in the whole population, of 440. The 
established scliool tax is $1 for each inhabitant 
of the state. In 1871 the amount of school money 
voted was $740,321, which exceeded the amount 
required by law by $136,804. 

There are two normal schools for the train- 
ing of teachers. The Eastern, at Castine, was 
opened in 1867 ; the Western, at Farmington, in 
1864. The number of academies and private 
seminaries is nearly seventy. The four col- 
legres of Maine had,"in 1871, 281 students. Bow- 
doin College, the oldest of these institutions, 
was organized in 1802, and is locsited at Bruns- 
wick. Tlie State College of Agriculture ami 
the Mechanic Arts was established in 1868, and 
had, in 1871, 71 students. 

Maine had, in 1870, 65 newspapers, with a cir- 
culation of 170,690. The number of daily papers 
was 7, of weekly 47, of monthly 8, and of quar- 
terly, tri-weekly and semi-weekly, 1 each. None 
of the dailies had a circulation of over .5,000 
copies. The semi-monthly '■ Our Young Polks," 
published in Augusta, has reached the enor- 
mous circulation of 330,OU0 ; and the "People's 
Literary Companion," Augusta, o'f 200,000. The 
weekly " Transcript," of Portland, has a circu- 
lation of 18,800. 

Charitable and Penal Institutions. — The hos- 
pital for the insane, at Augusta, was opened in 
1840; and the State Reform School, at Cape 
Elizabeth, has been in operation since 1853. 
The boys confined in the school are employed 
on the farm and in shops. 
The State Prison is located at Thomastou, 



and on December, 1872, 164 convicts were con- 
fined therein. During that year it had paid 
the sum of .$7,847 over and above its expenses. 

Government. — Me. was a part of Mass. until 
1820. By an act of Congress, approved on the 
3d of March, 1,820, it was declared that on and 
after the 15th of March, of the same year, the 
state of Me. should be admitted into the Union 
on equal terms with the original statt>s.

MAKYI^AXD, one of the thirteen original 
States of the Union; is bounded on the N. bj- 
Pa., on the K. by Del. and the Atlantic Ocean, 
anir on tlie S. and W. by Va. and W. Va. it ex- 
tends from 37-^ 43' to 39^ 44' N. lat., and from 75° 
10' to 79° 30' W. long. The area is 11,124 sq. mis., 
■or 7,M'-'v5''*' acres, exclusive of the part of Chesa- 
peake B. which belongs to the state. Chesa- 
peake B. and the Susciuehanna R. intersect 
Aid. from N. to 8. and divide it into two unequal 
jjortions. The Potomac R. sweeps along the 
Bouthern boundary of the western part, and as 
Its course is irregular and curving, the width 
of the state from X. to S. varies between 3 mis. 
and 120 mis. 

A'Hr/ace.— That portion of the .state which lies 
S. K. of a line drawn from the Susquehanna R., 
where it intersects the northern boundary, to 
the Potomac R., 10 uds. above Washington, is, 
■on the whole, undulating or level, and but little 
elcvate«l above the sea. This is the " tidal 
country," and embraces the region on both 
Bides of Chesapeake B.. measuring somewhat 
over one-half of the area of the state. It be- 
longs to the great tertiary plains of the Atlan- 
tic. Its soil is sandy and contains large deposits 
of marl and clay. Deep tidal creeks penetrate 
far into the country, and they, as well as the 
larger streums whicli emjity into the Chesa- 
peake B., have generally wide estuaries. 



Beyond the line above indicated, and extend- 
ing as far as the South Mt., which may be con- 
sidered as a prolongation of the Blue Ridge of 
Va., the country is hilly and broken, and in- 
cludes picturesque and fertile valleys. Parr's 
Mt. and other low ranges traverse it from N. 
li. to S. W. 

From the South ]\It., which abuts on the Poto- 
mac R. at Harper's Ferry, to the western bound- 
ary, Md. is traversed by the mouniain ranges 
which enter it from Pa., and have a N. N. E. 
and S. S. W. trend. AVashington co., Ij'ing l)e- 
tween South Mt. and Tuscarora Mt., is a part 
of the Cumberland Valley, rich in agricultural 
resources and charming scenery. Beyouil the 
Tuscarora the mountains are higher and the 
valleys narrower. The western section of the 
state is intersected l)y several ranges of the Al- 
leghany Mts., attaining an altitude of more 
than 2,o00 feet. 

Jiivei-s. — With the exception of the eastern 
extremity, which includes a few small creeks 
emptying into the Atlantic, an<l the western 
extremity, where the Youghiogheny ilows 
through a valley of the Alleghany Mts.,Md. be- 
longs to the drainage system of Chesapeake B. 
This bay extends into the state for 120 mis., var- 
ies in breadth from 7 to 25 mis., and is navigable 
tliroughout for the largest vessels. The rivers 
which enter into it from the K. are the Poko- 
moke, Wicomico, Nanticoke, Choptank, Ches- 
ter and Elk. The Susquehanna R. intersects the 
northern part of the state tor a tiistance of 
about 12 mis. The Gunpowder, Patapsco, Se- 
vern and Patuxent Rs. enter into Chesapeake 
B. from the W. 

The Potomac R. foi'ms the southern boundaiy 
of the state, from the source of its North 
Branch to the mouth, and receives numerous 
affluents, as Savage R., Wells Cr., Evitts Cr., 
Town Cr., Sideling Cr., Licking R., Coueooche- 
ague R., Antietam Cr., Monoci^cy R., Seneca 
Cr., Piscataway Cr., Mattawamau Cr. and Ni- 
comico R. 

Climate and Vegelation.—Ihe climate of Md.. 
tempered by the vicinity of the ocean and 
Chesapeake B., is on the whole mild ami salu- 
brious. The mean annual temperature of the 
middle portion of the state is 50°, of the north- 
ern 54°, and of the highest portions in the W. 
about 50°. The rain- fall is abunilant throughout 
the state and is largest on the W'estern coasts 
of Chesapeake B., where it averages about 50 
inches. 

The state was originally covered with decld- 
nous forests, consisting of several varieties of 
oak, chestnut, cedar, poplar, maple, hickory, 
ash, beech, persimmon, sycamore, walnut, sassa- 
fras, magnolia, elm, etc. Cypress trees abound 
ill the central portions and pines in the eastern. 

Population,.— Mi\. had, in 1790, a population of 
319,728; in 1800, 341,548; in 1810, 3S0,.51(i ; in 1820, 
407,3.50 ; in 1830, 447,040 ; in 1840, 470,019 ; in 1850,

in the useful occupations, viz.: 80,449 m agricul- 
ture, 79,226 in professional and personal ser- 
vices, 3.5,542 in trade and transportation, and 
63,326 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing industries. 

Mining.— TUe chief mineral wealth of Md. 
consists in bituminous coal and iron. The

MAEYLAND. 



western portion of the state (Alleghany co.) 
extends into the great Appalachian coal fleUl, 
and produced, according to the last census, 
1,818,4-24 tons. Smaller quantities of coal are 
mined in Anne Arundel co. 

Iron ore is obtained in Anne Arundel, Alle- 
ghany, Baltimore, Frederick, Carroll and Prince 
George's cos. The entire product in 1870 was 98,- 
S54 tons, of $G00,'24(j in value. Copper is mined 
in Carroll and Frederick cos. Nickel, cobalt 
and galena are also found in various parts of 
the state, but not in large quantities. The 
other minerals are kaoline, or porcelain clay, 
alum, barytes, marl and traces of gold. Mar- 
ble and biiildin^stones are abundant. 

A(/riculture.—Tl\e soil of Md. is on the whole 
very productive. The region adjacent to Ches- 
apeake li. consists of sand and loam, and with 
careful tillage and sufficient manuring yields 
good crops. The valleys of the higher sections 
of the state are generally very fertile. 

In 1870 the improved land amounted to 2,914,- 
007 acres, the unimproved land 16_',5S4 acres, and 
the woodland, 1,434,988 acres, making a total 
comprised in the farms of 4,.ill,o79 acres. The 
value of farms was $170,3()9,()84, and of farm 
protluctions, including additions to stock, etc., 
$35,343,927. 

The principal farm productions wei'C : Wheat, 
5,774,503 bush.; rye, 307,089 bush.; Indian-corn,

94,794 milch cows, '2-2,491 working oxen, 98,074 
other cattle, 1-29,697 sheep, and 257,893 swine. 

Manufuciures. — In 1850 the value of manufac- 
tures was $33,043,892; in 1850, $41,735,157, and in 

1870, $76,593,613, thus showiufj a very great in- 
crease in the development of manufactures in 
Md. during the last decade. The 5,812 establish- 
ments employed .531 steam-engines, with 13,961 
horse-power;" 937 water-wheels, with 18,461 
horse-power and 44,860 hands. The capital in- 
vested was $36,438,7-29; the wages paid, $12,68-2,817, 
and the value of the raw materials consumed, 
$46,897,032. 

The principal products of industry and their

Commerce and Railroads. — Md. possesses great 
facilities for .domestic and foreign commerce. 
Its coast-line on both sides of the Chesapeake 
B. is indented by numerous bays and harbors, 
so that the larger part of the state is within 
easjr distance from the sea. The Potomac, 
navigable to Washington, affords access to the 
southern extremity, and the Chesapeake & 
Ohio Canal follows the course of the Potomac 
from Washington to Cumberland. 

In 1871 Md. had 1,416 sailing vessels, 100 steam 
vessels and 516 canal boats, with a total tonnage 
of 146,201. The registered vessels numbered 
98 ; the enrolled vessels, 1,474, and the licensed

MASiSACHUSETTS, one of the New Eng- 
land states, and one of the 13 original states of 
the Union; lies between 41° 15' and 42° 55' N. lat., 
and between 69° 56' and 73° 31' W. long. Its 
length from E. to W. is about 160 mis. Its width 
in tlie eastern partis 115 mis.; in the western, 47 
mis. It has an area of 7,800 sq. mis. The sea- 
shore is very irregular. The south-eastern part 
of the state forms a narrow peninsula, wliich 
projects in an easterly direction and termin- 
ates with Cape Cod. It is joined to the main 
land by an isthmus which separates Cape Cod 
B. from Buzzard's B. Massachusetts B. forms 
a large indentation S. of Cape Ann; Martha's 
Vineyard and Nantucket are two islands which 
lie south-east of the main-land of the state. The 
Elizabeth Islands bound Buzzard's B. on the 
south and are separated from Martha's Vine- 
yard by Vineyard Sound. 

Surface. — The surface of Massachusetts is 
greatly diversified. Two chains of the Green 
Mts. traverse the western part of the state 
from N. to S. The western chain, called the 
Taghkanic, or Taconic, Mts. trend along or near 
the boundary. The highest peaks are Saddle 
Mt. 3,.505 feet high, and Mt. Washington, 2,624 
feet high. The eastern chain, called tlie Hoosic 
Mts., is broader than the western, although less 
elevated, and is noted for its magnificent 
scenery. Sugarloaf Mt. and Mt. Tom, V'14 feet, 
rising on the banks of the Connecticut B., are 
isolated peaks. Further to the E., andseparat- 
ed from the Hoosic Mt. by the rich valley of 
the Connecticut R., extends a wide belt of hills 
and mountains, the highest of which are Mt. 
Wachusett, (2,018 feet high), and Mt. Holyoke. 
From this belt, which has a height of about 1,100 
feet, the country slopes gradually toward the 
sea-coast. The south-eastern part of the state is 
low and sandy. 

Jtivers and Lakes — The Connecticut is the 
largest R. in Massachusetts. It traverses the 
western part of the state from N. to S., and has 
so great a fall as to render it unnavigable. The 
largest tributaries from the W. are the Deer- 
field R., which rises in Vermont, and the West- 
field R., which rises in the Hoosic Mt. The 
Chicopee and Miller's Rs. enter the Connec- 
ticut from the E. The Housatonic R. flows 
through the valley lying between the Taconic 
and Hoosic Mts. Merrimac R. belongs in its 
lower course to this state and flows parallel to 
the N. E. boundarj'. It receives the Nashua and 
Concord lis. from the S. W.. ThcBlackstone 11. 
flows through the central part of the state from 
N. to S., and passes through Rhode Island. The 
Taunton R. in the S. E. part enters Mt. Hope 
B. in Rhode Island. Charles R. and Mystic R. 
empty into Boston B., which forms the 
western extension of Massachusetts B. None 
of the Rs. of this state are navigable, but tliey 
alford a large amount of valuable water-power. 
Massachusetts abounds in small lakes and 
ponds, especially the south-eastern and western 
parts of the state. 

CTima/e.— Massachusetts has a cool climate. 
The winters are long and severe, the summers 
short and warm. Snow falls usually during 
seven months, from October to April. 'The 
mean annual temperature in the N. W. part of 
the state is 45°, in the S. E. part .50°. July is 
the hottest month in Boston, with a mean tem- 
perature of 73° ; January the coldest, with a 
mean temperature of 28°. The mercury 
occasionally falls to 10° below zero, in winter, 
and rises in summer to 100°, thus showing a 
range between extremes in Boston of 110°. 

The amount of yearly precipitation (rain and 
snow) varies from 40 inches in depth in eastern 
Massachusetts to iS}^ inches in western, and is 
nearly equally distributed through the seasons. 

In the eastern part of the state north-westerly 
winds prevail during 150 days, and southwest-

erly during 70 daj's. Cold and piercinj? east- 
erly winds are of frequent occurrence iu the 
spring. , ^ ,. 

The Populalion of Mass. has increased steadi-

Aiirici(Uure.-'i:\w nio.st fertile sections of Mass. 
ar^^ the valleys of the Connecticut and other 
rivers; but the greater part of the state is 
moderately productive. Hence large quantities 
of grain, flour, pork, beef, etc., are imported 
from the more favored regions of the west. 

3Iass. had, in 1870, '20,500 farms, of which 8,381 
had from -201050 acres; 8,727 from 50 to 100 acres, 
and 5.IK3 from 100 to 500 acres. Only 3 farms 
bad over 1.000 acres, and 40 over .lOO acres. 

The number of acres of land in farms was 
2,7;{0,2?3 acres, of which 1,736,221 were improved, 
70t>,714 were woodland, and 287,318 were unim-

of implements, !js.'),O0O,879, and of all farm pro- 
ductions, including betterments, etc., ^'{2,192,378. 

The princii)al agricixltural products were: 
17,547 bush, of spring wheat; 17,074 bush, of 
winter wheat; 239,227 bush, of rye; 1,397,807

Mtuivjaclures. — In proportion to area and 
numbt'r of inhabitants, Mass. is the first manu- 
facturing state of the Union. The number of 
establi.>>liments in 1870 was 13,212, employing 
7s,.')02 horse-power in 2,39t) steam-engines, 10.5,- 
845 horse-power in 3,1.57 water-wheels, and 279,- 
380 hanils. The capital invested was $231,677,862 
(being less than I'a. anil N. \. onlv); the wages 
paid amounted to $118,051,886, and the raw ma- 
terials consumed, to >t'334, 413,982. The value of 
manufactured products was .$.553,912,5(J8 (second

whales in the South Pacific Ocean, partly for 
mackerel, cod-fish, etc., in the waters adjacent 
to our northern coasts. In ISiio the number of 
vessels employed in the whale fishery was 244, 
wii h a tonage of 70,420. They obtained 1,735,488

The steady and rapid progress of the state in 
the dcvi'lopnient of manufactures is shown by 
comparing the annual values of protlucts for 
dirtVrcnt years. In 1838 this was about $86,000,- 
000; in 1845, .'}il24,000,on0 ; in 185.5, $29.5,00i),U()O, anil 
in 186.5, $517,000,000. The last decade exhil)iis an 
increase of 72 per cent., Avhile the ijopiilatiou 
during the sanu; jicriod increased but 3 per cent. 

Commerce cnul Rdilnxids. — Mass. has, next to 
N. Y., the most extensive foreign commerce of 
any state in the Union. In 1871 the foreign goods 
imported had a value of $54,v529,107, and the 
domestic goods exported, $13,234,993. It lias tea 
ports of entry, or custom districts, of which 
IJoston is by far the most important. The num- 
ber of vessels entering into the ports of the 
state was 4,019, and of vessels cleared from the 
ports, ;!,7.5.5. On the 30th of .June, 1871, Mass. had

work of any of the states, which is being rapid- 
ly enlarged. In 1841 the total railroad mileage 
was 373 inls.; in 1851, 1,038 mis.; in 1861, 1,264 mis.; 
in 1872, 1,612 mis. The principal lines are: The

.it will be the longest in the world. By means 
of it Boston will be brought into sliorter and 
more direct communication with Chicago than 
New York city. The entire work will be com- 
pleted in 1874. 

Education.— Mass. has established educational 
institutions of all grades and for all classes, and 
maintains them with great liberality. The 
Board of Education consists of the Governor, 
Lieutenant-Governor, and 8 members appointed 
by the Governor and Council. It has the 
general oversight of tlie public schools and 
educational statistics, and receives the reports 
which the persons in charge of every institu- 
tion of learning iu the state are required by 
law to make. 

The Number of Public Schools in 1872 was 5,193 
(an increase for the year of 117); and of persons 
in the state between 5 and 15 years, '282,485 ; of 
whom 270,602 were scholars in the public schools. 
The number of teachers was 8,443, including 
1,024 males and 7,419 females. The avei-age 
wages for male teachers per month was $85.09 ; 
and of female teachers $32,39. The total amount 
of taxes paid to maintain the public schools 
was $.%47(>,927, or $3.76 for every inhabitant of 
the state, and $19.39 for each person between 
the ages of 5 and 15 years. 

The aggregate amount of money from all 
sources expended for popular education in 
private schools, academies and public schools, 
was $6,350,000. 

The 4 normal schools in the state arc locatetl 
at Bridgewater, Frainingham, Salem and West- 
lield ; and besides, there are several Training 
Schools, designetl to^ssist in the pi-eparatiou 
of teachers for their^-alling. 

The number of incorporated academies is .50, 
and of private schools about 500. The six col- 
leges had, in 1870, 137 teachers and 1,290 pupils. 
Harvard University, at Cambridge, the oldest 
college in the country, has 76 professors and 
nearly 1 ,200 students. 

The' number of newspapers and periodicals 
of all classes published in Mass. in 1870 was 259,

11 semi-monthlies, 48 monthlies, 9 quarterlies 
and 1 annual. One-half of the papers of the

ture, 31 to religion, and 13 to technical and pro- 
fessional sulyects. 

The Charitable and Penal Institutions of ISIass. 
are numerous and well managed. The State 
Alms House is located at Tewksbury, and 
• since the abolition of the alms houses at Mon- 
son anfl Bridgewater, maintains about 800 pau- 
pers, of whom nearly two-lifths are insane or 
imbecile persons. At Worcester, Taunton and 
Northampton are State Lunatic Hospitals, and 
at Westborougiiis a state Reform School, where 
youthful delinquents arc kcipt and instructed 
in trades, so that, when released, they maj' earn 
an honest livelihood. At Lancaster is the State 
Industrial School for Girls. The school for 
idiotic and feeble-minded youth at Boston, un- 
der the superintendence of Dr. S. G. Howe, is 



open for the toeneflciaries of the state, and all 
others who will pay the cost. 

The state has 38 institutions for the confine- 
ment of criminals, viz.: 1 state prison, 20 jails, 
16 houses of correction and 1 house of industry. 
In the State Prison at Charleston there were 
confined, on September 30, 1872, 562 convicts.

ceding said date, including 108 natives of the 
United States and 52 foreigners.

MIl'UICiiAX, one of the N. central states; 
consists of two large, irregular peninsulas. 
The northern or upper peninsula is bounded on 
the S. W. by Wis., on the N. bj^ Lake Superior, 
on the E. by St. Mary's !£., and on the .S. by Lake 
Michigan, the Strait of Mackinaw and Lake Hu- 
ron. The southern or lower peninsula is 
bQundotl on the S. by Ohio and Ind., on the W. 
by Lake Michigan, and on the E. bv Lake Erie, 
the Detroit R., Lake St. Clair, St. Clair R. and 
Lake Huron. The state extends from 41° 30' to 
47° 31' N. lat., and from 82° ^4' to 90° 33' W. long., 
and includ(!S the Isle Koyale in Lake Superior, 
■which is intersected by the 48th parallel. The 
area is .")i;,4.'>i s(i. mis., or 36,128,640 acres. 

<S'Mr/acc.— The upper peninsula has a broken 
and often rocky surface. The part which lies 
E. of a line drawn from Marquette to the mouth 
of the Menomonee R. has no elevations of more 
than 400 feet in height above the level of Lake 
Superior. The part lying W. of said line in- 
cludes several irregular mountain ranges.whicli 
attain a height of 800 and. in a few caM's of 1,400 
feet above the lake Itivel. The water-shed of 
the peninsula lies much nearer to the northern 
shore than to the southern, thus Indicating the 
fact that the descent is gradual toward Lake 
Michigan and more xapidly falling olf toward 
Lake Superior. The shores of this lake abound 
in bold and picturesque scenery. Sixtv mis. E. 
Of Sault St. Mary ai-e tlie famous "Pictured 



Rocks," masses of variegated sandstone re* 
sembling ruined castles and temples. 

The lower peninsula is moi'e level and ofifers 
greater attractions to the farmer and settler 
than the upper. The northern in the highest 
portion rarelj' exceeds 500 feet above the lakes, 
and gives rise to numerous streams llowing 
from it in all directions. The southern portion 
is lower, and is either slightly undulating or 
nearly level. 

Jiivers and Lakes. — The rivers of the upper pe- 
ninsula take their rise from numerous lakes and 
marshes disper.sed over the plateau. None of 
them are navigable for anything larger than a 
canoe. Those entering into Lake Superior es- 
pecially have numerous rapids and cascades. 
Yet in the spring, when the waters are high, 
these rivers are of great economical value, as 
they afford facilities for floating the logs from 
the interior to the saw-mills sprung up at the 
mouth of almost every larger water-course, 
whose branches reach back into the pine lands. 
The following empty into Lake Superior: 
Montreal R., separating Mich, from Wis., Pres- 
que' Isle R., Ontonagon R., Sturgeon R., empty- 
ing into Kewaunee fj., and Tequamenon R. The 
following empty into Green E. and Lake Michi- 
gan : Menomonee R., flowing along the Wis. 
boundary, Escanaba R., White Fish R., Stur- 
geon R , ^lanistique R., Carp R. and Pine R. 

The streams of the lower peninsula are larger 
than the preceding, and several of them are 
navigable. The following empty into Lake 
Michigan: Manistee R., Pere Marquette R., 
White R., Muskegon R., Grand R., which re- 
ceives Thornapple R.; Kalamazoo R. and St. 
Joseph B. Into Lake Huron empty Cheboygan 
R., Thunder Bay R., An Sable R., Rifle R., Sagi- 
naw R., which empties into Saginaw B., receives 
Chippewa B. with Tittibawasse and Pine Rs., 
and is formed by the confluence of the Flint and 
Suiawassee Rs.; Black R. and Belle R. empty 
into R. St. Clair ; Huron R. and Raisin R. into 
Lake Erie, and Clinton R. into Lake St. Clair. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of Mich. 
is milder than in the same latitudes farther E., 
owing to the proximity of the great lakes. The 
upper peninsula, however, has very rigorous 
winters. At Ontonagon the mean annual tem- 
perature in 1870 was 44° 33'; the highest temper- 
ature, 90°, the lowest, — 24°, showincf a range be- 
tween extremes of 111°. At Grand Rapids the 
mean annual temperature was 50.7°; the high- 
est temperature 102°, and the lowest— 10°, show- 
ing a range of 113^. Southerly and westerly 
winds greatly prevailed at both places. 

The upper peninsulais almost wholly covered 
with unbroken pine forests. The lower penin- 
sula also has extensive forests, consisting of 
pines in the northern part and of deciduous 
trees in the southern ; but they are diversified 
by those beautiful prairie lawns, known as 
"oak openings." 

Popiilalioii.— Mich, is rapidly increasing 1^ 
population and wealth. In 1810 it had 4,762 in- 
habitants; in 1820,8,765; in 1830,31,639: in 1840, 
212,267 ; in 1850, 397,654 ; in 1860, 749,113 and in 1870, 
1,184,059, besides 3,175 Indians living on reserva- 
tions and sn.staining tribal relations. The 
whites numbered 1,167,282; the colored persons 
11,849 and the Indians out of tribal relations, 
4,926. 

In regard to nativities the following numbers 
are given in the last census report : Born in the 
United States, 916,019 ; of whom 507,2(>8 were born 
in Mich.; 7,412 in Conn.; 692 in Del.; 6 055 in III.; 
12,140 in Ind.; 1,486 in Iowa ; 1,719 in Ivy.; 3,932 in

and 2,116 of Switzerland. 

Tlie population of 10 years and over numbered 
873,703, of wliom 404,164 were engaged in the use- 
ful occupations, viz.: 187,211 in agriculture, 104,- 
728 in personal and professional services, 29,588 
in trade and transportation, and 82,637 in manu- 
factures, mechanical and uiining industries. 

Mining.— Mich, is one of the most favored 
states of the Union with regard to mineral 
treasures, and it is the western part of the upper 
peninsula which is especially rich in thera. The 
copper deposits whicli abundantly occur in the 
belt of country from Keweenaw Point to the 
western borders of tlie state are the richest in 
the world. During the 20 years closing with 
1865, 76,107 tons of copper were shipped from the 
three ports of Ontonagon, Keweenaw and Port- 
age Lake, and in the year 1868 aloue, 7,500 tons. 

in Marquette co. are found large deposits of 
Iron. The vield for the 7 years closing with 
1862 was 414,136 tons, and during 1866, 296,872 tons 
of ore and 18,437 of pig iron. In quality the iron 
of this state ranks with the finest in the world. 
The northern part of the lower peninsula con- 
tains productive coal measures of ^reat extent. 
Near Saginaw a very fine salt is obtained. 
The product was .').S0,000 barrels in 18t!5, 407,997 
barrels in 1866, 474,721 barrels in 1867, and 577,509 
barrels in 1869. 

Lumbering is one of the principal sources of 
wealth in the state, and has lieen steadily in- 
creasing for years past. In 1866 the ^'ield was 
1,125,000,000 feet ; in 1867, 1,400,000,000, and in 1868, 
2,000,000,000. 

Agriculture. — The upper peninsula is too rug- 
ged, and has too sterile a soil for the purposes 
ot the farmer or stock raiser ; but the lower 
peninsula, including about three-fifths of the 
area of the state, is very productive, and in its 
soutliern portion includes nearly the whole of 
the population and of the improvements of the 
state. 

The farms include 10,027,142 acres, of which 
5,096,939 are improved ; 842,057 unimproved and 
4,080,146 woodland. The cash value of farms in 
1870 was $398,240,578, and of farm implements, 
$13,711,979. The estimated value of all farm 
productions, including additions to stock, was 
$81,508,623, and of orchard products, $3,447,985. 

The wheat yield of Mich, is surpassed by biit 
few other states. It was, in 1870, 268,810 bush. 
of spring wheat, and 15,996,963 of winter wheat. 
The other productions were : rye, 144,508 bush.; 
Indian-corn, 14,086,238 bush.; oats, 8,954,466 bush.; 
barley, 834,558 bush.; Irish pot's, 10,318,799 bush.; 
tobacco, 5.385 lbs.; butter, 24,400,185 lbs.; hay, 
1,290,923 tons, and wool, 8,726,145 lbs. Wool 
growing is a leading agricultural interest of 
the state. Southern Mich, has become one of 
the greatest apple growing regions of the Union. 
Peaches are i-aised successfully in the region 
bordering on Lake Michigan as far N. as Grand 
Traverse J?., while pears, plums, cherries, 
quinces and other varieties of fruit are grown 
throughout the state. The culture of the grape 
has been successfully introduced into the val- 
leys which open out on Lake Michigan ; and the 
more hardy species grow in the interior. 

In 1870 the live stock of the state had a value 
Of $49,809,869, and comprised 228,302 horses, 2,353 
mules and asses, 250,8.59 milch cows, 36,499 work- 
lug oxen, 260,171 other cattle, 1,985,906 sheep and 
417,811 sM'ine. 

Manufactures. — Mich, has progressed most 
rapidly in tlie development of its manufactur- 
ing interests. In 18.50 the total value of the 
manufactures was $11,169,001 ; in 1860, $:i2,6.58,356 ; 
and in 1870 it had nearly quadrupled, being 
$118..394,676. The 2,215 steam-engines had 70,956 
horse-power, and the 9,455 establishments em- 
ployed 63,694 hands, and consumed materials to 
the amount of $68,142,515. The capital invested 
was $71,712,283, and the wages paid, $21,205,355. 

The priucix)al products of industry and their 



values were as follows : Agricultiiral imple- 
ments, $1,569,-596 ; boots and shoes, $2,552,931 ; car- 
pentering and building,$3,976,333 ; carriages and 
wagons, $2,.393,328 ; freight and passenger cars, 
$1,488,724; men's clothing, $2,423,170; copper, 
milled and smelted, $9,2(iO,976 ; flour and meal, 
$21,174,247 ; furniture, $1,630,199 ; forged and rolled 
iron, $780,750 ; pig iron, $2,911,515 ; iron castings, 
$2,082,532 ; leather, $2,670,608 ; beer, $1,216,286 ; lum- 
ber, $33,078,241 ; machinery, $1,355,371 ; salt, $1,176,- 
811 ; sash, doors and blinds, $1,868,596, and to- 
bacco and cigars, $1,849,383. 

Commerce and Railroads. — The c<'>mmercial 
position of the state is very advantageous, 
surrounded by the great lakes, its coasts are in 
direct water communication with New York, 
while its railroads and canals facilitate an im- 
mense internal commerce. It has four ports of 
entry: Detroit, Huron, Superior and Michigan, 
into which entered, in 1871, foreign goods of 
$2,323,542 in value, and from which where ex- 
ported domestic goods of $3,605,025 in value. 

The first 24 mis. of li. K. were completed in 
1840; 10 years later the mileage was 342. From 
1869, when the mileage was 1,199, to 1873, Jan. 1, 
1,808 mis. were constructed, or 150 per cent, more 
than the aggregate length constructed diirhig 
the whole previous history of the state. The 
governor estimates the cos't of the roads built 
during the four years at $.54,000,000. 

The principal roads are the following : The 
Detroit & Milwaukee K. R. (189 mis.); the Flint 
& Pere Marquette 11. R. (232 nils.); the Jackson, 
Lansing & Saginaw II. K. (208 mis. ); theMarquette 
Houghton & Ontonagon R. R. (49 mis.); the 
Michigan Central R. 11.(285 nils );the Port Huron 
& Lake Michigan R. R. (&d mis.); and the Detroit 
Lansing & Lake Michigan R. R., 164 mis. 

Education. — Mich, has always supported and 
fostered public schools and higher institu- 
tions of learning with the greatest liberality. 
The State University at Ann Arbor is the largest 
college W. of the Alleghany Mts. and ranks with 
the foremost institutions of its kind in the 
country. In 1870 it had 1,126 students and 34 
professors. The number of students in the de- 
partment of science, literature and the arts was 
477 ; in that of medicine and surgery 340 ; and in 
that of law 309. The total receipts for 1872 were 
$76,359, and the expenses $92,000, leaving a defi- 
ciency of $15,640. The university admits lady 
students. 

The Agricultui'al College, located at Lansing 
was established in 1863, and has an endowment 
of 240,000 acres. It had, in 1870, 7 professors and 
142 students. The three other colleges of Mich, 
are at Kalamazoo, Albion and Olivet. Tlie 
State Normal school at Ypsilanti was opened 
in 18,54, and embraces a training course and a 
higher course. In the experimental school the 
pupils of the Normal Schopl practice actual 
teaching. 

The school population from 5 to 20 years of 
age was, in 1870, 384,546, of whom 278,685 attended 
the public schools. The number of male teach- 
ers was 2,793, and of female teachers 8,221. The 
estimated number of jiupils attending private 
schools was 9,613. The number of school-houses 
was 5,111, 109 more than in the preceding year 
(1869). The value of school-houses was $6,243,797 ; 
total resources for school purposes, $3,154,221. 

Charitable and Penal Instituiions. — The Asylum 
for the Deaf, Dumb and the Blind, at Flint, was 
opened in 18.54. Mechanical instruction has lately 
been introduced, which enables the pupils to 
qualify themselves for self-support after leaving 
the institution. The Asylum for the Insane at 
Kalamazoo had, in 1872, 460 patients. The State 
Reform School at Lansing, to which youthful 
delinquents are committed, is maintained at a 
cost of over $30,000 per annum. 

The State Prison is located at Jackson, and 
had, in 1870, 663 convicts ; in 1871, 627, and in 1872, 
589. For the last four years it has been more 
than self-sustaiuing.

Wealth, Taxation and Finances.— In 1S70 the 
true value of reiil imtl personal estate was $719,- 
20S,118; the assessed value of tlie same was but 
$>7>,-242.917, including i»!:24,«<;3,6(i7 for real estate, 
and $17,579,250 for personal estate. The total, 
iiot national, taxation was $5,412,957, including 
State, county and town taxes. 

The receipts for the flscal year ending Sep- 
tember 30, 1872, was 4c2.1Sl,49S, and the disburse- 
ments ijil, 888,397, leaving a balance in the treas- 
xiry of $977,224. The total slatt' debt in 1872 was 
$1,762,293, of which *;l,728,()(»o was in interest- 
bearing bonds, and §34,293 was debt bearing no 
interest. 

Government.— Mich, was settled bj- the French 
at Del roit in 1»J!10. At the peace of 1763 it came 
under the (lonihiion of Great Britain. It was a 
part ot the territory ceded to the United States 
l)y Virfiima, ereetcA into a territory in 1805, and 
admitted as a static into the Union "in 1837. 

The following otHcers are chosen biennially by 
the legal voters : Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor- 
General, Xjommissioner of the Land Ollice, 
Attorney-General, Superintendent of Public 
Instruction, and Adjutant-General. 

The legislature meets biennially in the odd 
years, aiul comprises a Senate of 32 members, 
and a House of Representatives of 100 members. 
To qualify a resident to vote, he must be above 
the age of 21, must have resitted in the state 3 
months and in his election district 10 days. The 
judicial power is vested in one Supreme Court, 
circuit courts, probate courts and justices of 
the peace. The Supreme Court has a general

MINNESOTA lies near the center of the con- 
tinent, and is bounded on the N.by British Amer- 
ica, from which it is partly separated by the Pig. 
eon R. and the series of lakes and portages ex- 
tendingfrom that river westward to Rainy Lake. 
The boundary then follows Rainy Lake and its 
outlet, Rainy Lake R., to the large Lake of the 
Woods. The eastern boundary is formed by 
Lake Superior and the state of VVis., from which 
Minn, is divided by the St. Croix and Missis- 
sippi Rs. From Dak. Ter., in the W., Minn, is 
separated by the Re<l River of the North, the 
Bois des Sioux R., Lake Traver.se and Big Stone 
Lake, and on the S. it is bounded by Iowa. 
It extends from 43° 30' to 49° N. lat., and from 
89° 29' to 97° 5' W. long. , and has an area of 83,531 
sq. mis., or 53.459,840 acres. 

iSur/ace.— The surface of the state is undulat- 
ing and resembles the rolling prairies of the 
adjoining states of Iowa and Wis. It has no 
mountains, yet the general evenness of the sur- 
face is broken by that broad swell of the ground 
which intersects the northern portion, and is 
known as the "Hauteurs des Terres," or the 
Height of Land. This height gives rise to the 
head streams of tlie Mississippi and the affluents 
of Lake Winnepeg and rarely exceeds 1,500 feet 
in elevation above the sea. Lake Itaska, com- 
monly regarded as the soui'ce of the Mississippi, 
lies within the heights and is 1,680 feet high. 

Rivers and Lakes. — Minn., has live navigable 
rivers. The Mississippi, rising on the Height 
of Land, takes from Lake Itasca a circular 
sweep northward, and then pursues a general 
southern course, running through the state for 
about 800 mis., of which 130 wash the eastern 
boundary. It is navigable in all about 540 mis. 
in the state, which distance, however, is inter- 
rupted by the Falls of St, Anthony, near Min- 
neapolis. The St. Croix R., rising in northern 
Wis., flows southward and forms, for 128 mis., 
the boundary between Wis. and Minn. It is 
navigable for 53 mis. 

The Minnesota R., the principal tributary of 
the Mississippi in the state, rises in Cotcan deg 
Prairies, in Uak. Ter., and after jiassing t hrough 
Big Stone Lake, flows S. E. as far as Mankato, 
where it sharply turns N. E. and empties 5 mis. 
above St. Paul, after a course of 470 nils., 300 of 
which are navigable in the wet season and about 
50 iu the dryest months of the year. 

The Red River of the North rises in the 
Height of Land near the source of the Missis- 
sippi, and, after sweeping to the S. and the W. 
to Breckinridge, flows due N.. along the bound- 
ary of Minn., a distance of 380 nils. It is uavi- 
gattle in most seasons about 250 mis. The St. 
Louis R., which joins the western extremity of 
Lake Superior, is navigable for 21 inLs. 

The large rivers here mentioned receive nu- 
merous smaller streams, watering every por 
tion of the state and attbrding excellent facili 
ties for lumbering, manufacturing and farming

R., 'Wikl Rice R., Red Lake R., the outlet of the 
large lake of the same name, and Swamp, or 
Tainarao, R. The Mississippi receives Swan R., 
Rnm R., the outlet of tlie large lake called 
Mille Lacs, Pine R., Crow Wing R., with Leaf 
and Long Prairie Rs.; Sauk R. , Crow R., Cannon 
R., Zumbro R. and Root R. The principal tribu- 
taries of the Minnesota R. are Pom me de Terre 
JR., Chippewa R., Lac qui Parle R., Yellow Medi- 
cine R., Redwood R., Big Cottonwood R. and 
Blue Earth R.; and those of the St. Croix are 
Kettle R. and Snake R. 

The almost numberless lakes, varying from 1 
to 30 mis. in diameter, form a marked feature 
in the scenery of the state. Their water is re- 
markably clear and pure, resting upon basins 
of sand and pebbles, among which jasper, agate 
and cornelian are often found. These lakes 
abound with the very best varieties of flsh, and 
are the resorts in spring and autumn of wild 
geese, ducks and otlier water fowl. 

Climate and VegelaUon. — The climate of Minn. 
Is healthy and invigorating. Tlie atmosphere 
in summer is clear, cool and pleasant, with 
westerly, south-westerlj' and southerly breezes. 
The nights are always cool and bracing. The 
winters are rigorous and marked by extreme 
dryness. The greater quantity of rain or mois- 
ture falls during tlie season of vegetation from 
May to September. 

The mean summer temperature is about 70.50° 
and corresponds with that of central Wis. and 
southern Pa. The mean winter temperature is 
16.10°, corresponding with that of northern Wis. 
and southern Vt. The mean annual tempera- 
ture is 4i.(50°. 

Minn, is neither a timber nor a praii'ie state, 
but possesses in a large degree the advantages 
of both. It is estimated that about one-third 
of the area is covered with forest growth, while 
two-thirds are open prairies. The Height of 
Land and the region in which rise the upper tri- 
butaries of the Mississippi and St. Croix Rs. are 
known as the "pine region," comprising an es- 
timated area of '21,000 sq. mis. On both sides of 
the Minnesota R. extend the so-called " big 
woods," a region covered with deciduous for- 
ests, inclu<ling an area of about 5,000 sq. mis. 
Many of the prairies of Minn, are dotted with 
small bodies of wood, or scattered trees, and 
have the general character of well kept and 
handsomely laid out parks. 

Wild animals yet abound on the prairies and 
In the forests, among which are deer, bears, 
wolves, foxes, wild cats, raccoons and rabbits. 
The streams are frequented by the otter, mink, 
beaver and muskrat. Pigeons, grouse and par- 
tridges are among the feathered game. 

Pomdalion. — Tlie growth of Minn, in popula- 
tion iias been very rapid, and as there are yet 
millions of acres of the greatest fertility await- 
ing settlers, it promises to be equally rapid in 
the future. When in 1849 it was erected into a 
territory, it had but 4,057 inhabitants. In IS.iO 
there were G,077 ; in 1860, 17'2,0'23, and in 1870, 43".),- 
7013, thus showing an increase during the last 
two decades of 2,750, and 155 per cent, respect- 
ively. In 1870 the population consisted of 438,257 
Whites, 759 colored persons, and 690 Indians out 
of tribal relations ; there were, besides. 6,350 
Indians living on reservations .and at agencies. 
The nativities, according to the census, were as 
follows: natives of the United States, 279,009; 
of the slate. 125,759 ; of Conn., 2,359 ; of 111., 10,979 ; 
of Ind., 7,4:18 ; of Iowa, 3,970 ; of Ky., 1,733 ; of Me., 
9,939 ; of Md., 719; of Mass., 5,731 ; of Mich., 3,742; 
of Mo., 1,447; of N. H., 3,271 ; of N. J., 1,348; of 
N. Y., 39,.50(> ; of X. C, 438 ; of Ohio, 12,050 ; of Pa., 
11,966; of R. L, 564; of Tenn., 320; of Vt., 6,815; 
of the Virginias, 1,812, and of Wis., 24,048. 

The foreign-born population numbered 160,- 
697, of whom were born in Austria, 2,047 ; in Bo- 
hemia, 2,166; in British America, 16,698 ; in Den- 
mark, 1,910; in France, 1,743; in Germany, 41,- 
346; in England, 5,670; in Ireland, 21,746; in 



Scotland, 2,194 ; in Wales, 944 ; in Holland, 1,855 ; 
in Luxemburg, 1,173 ; in Norway, 35,940; in Swe- 
den, 20,087, and in Switzerland, 2,162. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
amounted to 305,.568 ; of whom 132,657 pursued 
some one of the useful occupations. In agricul. 
ture were engaged 75,157 ; in professional and 
personal services, 28,330 ; in trade and transpor- 
tation, 10,582, and in manufactures and mechan- 
ical and mining industries, 18,588. 

Minerals and Mining.— Cox>\^cv abounds in the 
mineral belt stretching along the northern 
shore of Lake Superior, and large masses of the 
pure metal have been taken from Knip and 
Stuart Rs. Iron ore is found in considerable 
quantity near Portage and Pigeon Rs., and 
yields metal fully equal to the best Swedish or 
Russian iron. A coal bed has been discovered 
in Brown co., on Cottonwood R., in the vicinity 
of New Ulm, but thus far the state is supplied 
with this indispensable mineral from the great 
coal fields of Iowa. Gold and silver exist, but 
the attempts to extract them have not been re- 
munerative. The numerous Salt Springs of the 
Red River Valley yield one bushel of good salt 
to 24 gals, of brine ; and a joint stock company 
is prosecuting the manufacture of salt from the 
springs near Belle Plaine on the Minnesota R. 
Excellent limestone for building purposes is 
found in immense outcroppings below the Falls 
of St. Anthony ; and at St. Peter a variety oc- 
curs which resembles marble and is suscepti- 
ble of a line polish. 

Agriculture.— T\\(i extraordinary development 
of Minn, is shown by the enlargement of its 
cultivated area and the increase of its farm 
productions. In 1860 the improved lands of the 
state measured 556,250 acres ; in 1870, 2,322,102 
acres, an increase of 363 per cent. The wood- 
land in the latter year amounted to 1,336,299 
acres, and the unimproved land, 2,825,427, mak- 
ing a grand total of 6,483,828 acres, comprised 
in farms, or nearly 12 per cent, of the whole area 
of the state. The cash value of farms was 
$97,847,422 ; of agricultural implements, $6,721,- 
120, and of farm productions, including addi- 
tions to stock, etc., $33,446,400. The principal 
farm products were : Winter wheat, 76,885 bush.; 
spring wheat, 18,789,188 bush.; rye, 78,088 bush.; 
Indian-corn, 4,743,117 bush.; barley, 1,032.024 
bush.; tobacco, 8,247 lbs.; wool, 401,18.5 lbs.; Irish 
pot's, 1,943,003 bush.; butter, 9,.'i22,010 lbs.; cheese, 
233,977 lbs.; hay, 695,053 tons ; hops, 222,065 lbs., 
and flax, 122,571 lbs. 

The live stock had a value of $20,118,841, and 
comprised 93,011 horses, 2,350 mules and asses, 
121,467 milch cows, 43,176 working oxen, 145,736 
other cattle, 132,343 sheep, and 148,473 swine. 

Fruit-growiiT^ is a profitable branch of indus- 
try in Minn. The more hardy varieties of ap- 
ples, pears, cherries, grapes, and the. small 
fruits generally, succeed well. The apple crop 
of 1871 is estimated at 30,000 bushels. The cran- 
berry marshes are so vast that Minn, has 
sometimes been called the " Cranberry State." 
Strawberries are found wild in large quantities, 
and all the cultivated varieties of unexcelled 
quality are grown extensively. 

Manufactures. — Great progress has already 
been made in manufacturing industry, and the 
immense water-power, the mineral and agri- 
cultural resources, the commercial advantages, 
and the enterprising character of the northern 
P-ople, by whom Minn, is settled, indicate 
that it is destined to become conspicuous as a 
manufacturing state. At the Falls of St. 
Anthony 100,000 horse-power could easily be 
utilized, and hardly less is afforded by the St. 
Croix Falls, and by several other of the large 
streams of the state. 

According to the last census report, Minn, 
had 2,270 manufacturing establishments, which 
employed 246 steam-engines of 7,085 horse- 
power : 434 water-wheels of 13,054 horse-power, 
and 11,290 workmen. The capital invested in

manufactures -w-as $11,903,729; the wages paid, 
$4,05-2, «37 ; the cost of raw materials consumed, 
$13,832,902, and the total value of products, $23,- 
110,700, an increase for the preceding decade of 
893 per cent. 

Tlie principal products of industry and their 
value were : Boots and shoes, $S53,163 ; carpen- 
tering and building, $1,0(57,203 ; carriages and 
wairons, $o49,5;iS; cars, $788,300 ; flour and meal, 
*7,.'>-U.575, and sawed lumber, $4,299,162. 

Commerce and Railroads. — Tlie commercial 
position of Minn, is very favorable. Occupying 
tlie center of tlie continent, and including the 
water-shed of its eastern half, the steam navi- 
gation of three great river systems terminates 
here, viz.: Tlie Mississippi R., northward from 
tiie Gulf of Mexico: the Red lliver of the North, 
southward from Hudson's J5., and the St. 
Lawrence R., with the chain of great lakes, 
westwai'd from the Atlantic. 

St. Paul is tlie only customs district in the 
state, and had, in iS71, 62 steamboats AVitli 
10,864 tons, and 77 barges with 9,195 tons. Dur- 
ing the season of 1870, 10 steamboats were 
trading with Dulnth;in 1871 the number was 
increased to 26. The export of grain, reducing 
flour to wheat, was, in 1871, 2,279,906 bush. On 
the Red R. three steamers were plying be- 
tween Breckinridge, Moorhead and Fort 
Garry. 

The first mile of railroad was completed in 
1862, and 10 years later Minn, had 1,612 mis., of an 
assessed value of $84,135,332, carrying 774,289 
tons of freight and 641,711 passengers. Tlie 
following are the principal lines: Southern 
Minnesota R. R. from Grand Crossing on the 
Mississippi through the southern tier of coun- 
ties (1675^ mis.), with a branch from Wells to 
Mankato'iu course of construction ; the Winona 
& St. Peter R. R., running about 20 mis. N. of 
and parallel with the above road (200 mis.); the 
Hastings & Dakota R. R., from Hastings to 
Glencoe(74mls.); the Minneapolis* St. Louis R. 
R., from Minneapolis to Carver (27 mis.), and 
soon to be completed to a point on the Iowa 
Central R. R.; the St. Paul & Sioux City R. R. 
(270 mis.); the Milwaukee & St. Paul R. iL, from 
Minneapolis & St. Paul, southward through 
Iowa to McGregor on the Mississippi R., and 
thence to Milwaukee (1.52 mis. in jNlinn.); the 
Chicago & St. Paul R. R., from St. Paul to 
Winona on the Mississi]ipi R.; the St. Paul, 
Stillwater & Taylor's Falls 11. R. (20 mis.); the 
Lake sa]}erior& Missis-ip)3i U. R. from St. Paul 
to Duluth (156 mis.); the St. Paul & Pacific R. R., 
from St. Paul to Breckinridge (217 mis.), witli a 
Branch to Sauk Rapids (66 mls.),aiul the St. Vin- 
cent Branch in process of construction ; and 
the Northern Pacific R. R., from Duluth to the 
Pacific Ocean (1,775 mis.), of which 255 mis. are 
witliiu the state. 

Education.— In 1851 the Legislature provided 
for the establishment of the University of Min- 
nesota, and in 1S.54 the building was begun on an 
eminence commantling a view of the Falls of 
St. Anthony. After many struggles, the insti- 
tution is now in full operation, with a classical, 
agricultural and military establishiueiit. It 
has 11 professors and 371 .students. 

Three Normal Schools are in operation : the 
first at Winona, tlie second at Mankato, and 
the third at St. Cloud. The attendance was, in 
1871, 498 students. 

An excellent system of public schools has 
been established in the state. In 1S71 the num- 
ber of school-districts was 2,732 (against 1,6^5 in 
1863) ; the number of persons of school age, 
167,463, of whom 113,983 attended the public 
schools. The 4,:>s5 teachers were, in the aggre- 

gate, paid $.540,388, und the 2,310 school-houses 
ad a value of $1,758,133. 

The most prominent among the private and 
and higher institutions of learning are: Carle- 
ton CoUciic, at Northfleld ; Groveland Semi- 
nary, at Wasioja ; Aftou Academy, at Afton ; 



St. Mary's Female Academy and St. Paul Fe- 
male Seminary, at St. Paul. 

Wenl/h, I'axation and Finances.— The assessed 
value of real estate in 1870 was ■$62,079..>87, and 
Of personal estate, $22,0.55,745. The true or esti- 
mated value of both kinds of property was 
$228,909,590, against $52,294,413 in I860. 

The amount of levies on all taxable property, 
in 1871, was $453,363 for state purposes, $825,086 
for the public schools, $769 170 for county pur- 
poses, $839,297 for town purposes, and .$14,686 for 
bounties, making the total taxes for all pur- 
poses, $2,901,602. 

The aggregate public debt, not national, in 
1870, was $2,788,797, including $350,000 state debt, 
for which bonds have been issued; $472,694 
county debts, and $1,966,103 town and city debts. 

Government.— As early as 1680 Louis Henne- 
pin, a French priest, in company with some 
fur traders, ascended the Mississippi 11. as far 
as the Falls of St. Antliony. The north-west- 
ern territory, including what is now Minn., 
was transferred to the United States in 1783, 
and in 1805 the government purchased from the 
Indians a tract of land for military purposes, 
at the mouth of the St. Croix R., and another 
tract at the mouth of the Minnesota R., includ- 
ing the Falls of St. Anthony. Upon the latter 
Fort Snelling was built in 1820, and tlie country 
near it was settled iu 1845. Minn, was organ- 
ized as a territory in 1849, and admitted into 
the Union as a state in 1857. 

The Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secre- 
tary of State, Treasurer and Attorney-Gen- 
ei-al are chosen for two years. The Auditor is 
ciiosen for three years. The Senate consists of 
22 members, chosen for two years, one-half each 
year ; and the House of Representatives com- 
prises 47 members, wlio are elected annually. 
The Legislature meets annually in the month 
of January. Citizens of the United States, who 
have resided 4 months in the state and 10 days 
next preceding an election in the district, are 
legal voters. * 

The judiciary comprises a Supreme Court, 
District Courts, Courts of Probate and Justices 
of the Peace. The Supreme Court has original 
jurisdiction in such remedial cases as are pre- 
scribed by law, and appellate jurisdiction in 
all cases, both in lawaufl in equity. It consists 
of a chief justice arid two associate justices, 
who are elected for 7 years. There are six dis- 
trict court judges, who are elected in single 
districts for 7 years. The district courts have 
original jurisdiction in all cases of law and 
equity, where over $100 are in controvesy, and 
in criminal cases where the punishment may 
be imprisonment for over 3 months, or a fine 
of over $100. 

The state is divided into the following 70 coun- 
ties: Aiken, Anoka, Becker, Benton, Blue Earth, 
Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chippewa, Chi- 
sago, Clay, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, 
Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn,

MISSISSIPPI, one of the southern states; 
is bounded on the W. by Ark. and La., on the S. 
by La. and the ISIississippi Sound, an extension 
of the Gulf of Mexico; on the E. by Ala. and 
on the N. by Tenn. Its length from N. to S. is 
334 mis.; its average wiilth from E. to W.1.50 
mis., and its area 47,1.56 sq. inls., or .30,179,840 
acres. It lies between 30° 20' and 35° N. lat., and 
88° 12' and 91° 40' W. long. 

Siii-/ace.— The north-eastern is the highest part 
of the state and forms an undulating table-land, 
which gently slopes down towaril the W. and S., 
and terminates with steep bluffs on the banks 
of the Mississippi and Vazoo Rs. In several 
places, as at Vicksburg, Graiid Gulf, Rodney, 
Natchez, Ellis ClilTand Fort Adams, these bluffs 
approach close to the river ; in others a broad 
belt of swampy bottom-lands extends along 
their base. The north-western part of thestate 
includes the largest of these swampy regions, 
known as the "Yazoo Bottom," which is tra- 
versed by the Yazoo, Sun Flower and other 
streams. It has an area of 7,110 sq. mis. and', 
varies in Avidth from a few to 100 mis. It is,, 
however, intersected by a line of higher ground,, 
some 2 to 6 mis. in width, Avhich is never over- 
flowed. 

mveis.—The ^Mississippi, ■which washes the' 
western border of the state, drains nearly one-, 
half of its area. Its principal tributary is the 
Y'azoo R., which flows near the eastern part of 
the bottom, rises near the northern state line 
in Marshall co., is known as Cold Water R. un- 
till joined by the Tallahatchee R., and then as 
Tallahatchee R. until joined by the Yallabusha 
R. The total length from its proper source 
(Horn Lake) to its mouth above Vicksburgh. is- 
about .500 mis., one-half of which distance is 
navigable during high water by boats drawing, 
from 2 to 3 feet of water, and as fju- as Panola by 
boats drawing 6 feet. 

The Big Black R. rises in Cliocfaw co., and 
flowing S. W. joins the Mississippi above Grand 
Gulf. Its whole basin is made up of a rolling, 
country entirely .above danger of inundation. 
The Homochitto R. is the last tributary of the 
Mississippi, in state of importance. It rises 
in Franklin co., and flowing W. forms the 
boundary between Adams and Wilkinson cos. . 
The north-eastern part of thestate is drained, 
by the head waters of the Tombigbee R. and the 
south-eastern by the Pascagoula R., which is.- 
formed in Greene co. by the Leaf and Chicka- 
.sawha Rs. Pearl R. rises in De Kalb co., flows 
W. S. W. as far as Jackson,, and turning S. emp- 
ties into Mississippi Soitixl near Lake Borgne. 
The Young Warrior and Strong Rs. are its 
principal amuents. The Tennessee R. touchea 
the N. E. corner of the state for about 15 mis. 

Ciinutte and Vegetation,— ^iiss. has a warm cli- 
mate. The summers arc long and hot, the win- 
ters short and mild. The isothermal of 88"^ 
Fahr. passes through the central part, and that 
of 84° through the northern part. The rain-fall 
is abundant and well distributed through the 
seasons. Along the Gulf coast it amounts to 64 
inches, and fiom here gradually diminishes to- 
ward the N. W., where it is about 48 inches. 

The soil of Miss, .is very fertile and the vege- 
tation luxuriant. The more elevated portions 
of the bottoms of , the Yazoo and Mississippi are 
covered with reci; hickory, holly, spicewood.

dogwood, sassafi'as, walnut, pecan, gum, over- 
cup oak and hackbcrry, while the lower and 
swampy portions contain cypress, water-oak, 
privet, box elder and swamp" ash. 

The table-land in the N. E. portion of the 
state consists generally of prairie land. The 
I'cmainiiig ancl V)y far the largest portion is 
covered with forests, consisting of deciduous 
trees and southern evergreens, as the live-oak, 
magnolia and others. The long-leaved pine pre- 
dominates in the sandy plains which occupy 
the S. E. corner. 

Population.— The population of Miss., in 1800, 
■was t<,8.'j(}; in IMIO, 40,;ir2 ; in 1820, 7.i,U8 ; in 1S30, 
1»;,';-.>1 ; in 1840, 375,(i,')l ; in laiO, 606,5-26 ; in 1860, 
TJl,:U)a; and in 1870, 827,922. This last aggregate 
comprised 382,896 whites; 444,201 colored per- 
sons ; 16 Chinese and 809 Indians. 

The iiorsons born in the United States num- 
bered 816,731, of whom 563,596 are natives of the

051 of the Virginias. Tlie foreign-born popula- 
tion numbered but 11,191, of whom 2,960 were 
natives of Germany, 1,086 of England, 3,359 
of Ireland, and 434 of Scotland. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 5^1,206; of whom 318,850 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz.: 259,199 in 
agriculture, 40,522 in professional and personal 
services, 9,148 in trade and transportation and 
9,981 in manufactures and uiechauical indus- 
tries. 

Agriculture.— "fiUss. has on the whole an ex- 
ceedingly productive soil, and but few snaall 
sections of the state are permanently unfit for 
tillage. The sandj' pine region in the S. E. re- 
quires fertilizing, but in its present state j-ields 
turpentine. The prairie table-laud in the N. E. 
has a rich black soil, impregnated with lime, 
and produces heavy crops of cotton and corn. 
The valleys of the central and northern parts 
are also very productive, but the richest soil 
is found in the Yazoo and Mississippi bottoms, 
■which indeed are inexhaustible. The great 
staple is cotton, and in its production Miss, 
holds the first rank in the country. 

In 1870 there were 4,209,146 acres of improved 
land, 7,959,384 acres of woodland and 952,583 
.acres of other unimproved land, making a total 
of 10,121,113 of acres in farms, which is but a 
little over one-third of the area of the state. 

The cash value of farms was $81,716,576. Total, 
estimated, value of all farm productions, includ- 
ing atlditions to stock, etc., was !i(73,137,953. The 
wages paid amounted tOiJilO,326,794. The princi- 
pal products were: Spring wheat, 66,633 bush.; 
winter wheat, 207.841 busli.; rye, 14,852 bush.; 
Indian-corn, 1,5,637,316 bush.; oats, 414,586 bush.; 
Irish pot's, 214,1^9 bush.; sweet pot's, 1,743,432 
bush.; cotton, .564,938 bales; wool, 288,285 lbs.; 
rice 374,627 lbs.: tobacco, 61,012 lbs.; butter, 2,613,- 
521 lbs.; hay, 8,324 tons ; cane sugar, 49 hhds.; 
' cane molawses, 152,164 galls., and sorghum mo- 
lasses 67,509 galls. 

The value of all live stock was $2.9,940,238, and 
■ comprised 90,221 horses, 85,886 mules and asses, 
173,899 milch cows, 58,1.56 working oxen, 269,030 
Other cattle, 232,732 sheep and 813,381 swine. 

Manu/aclures.—yiiss. has but few manufac- 
tures and these mostly embrace the ordinary 
and simple branches of mechanical industry, 
such as building, blacksmithing, tanning, etc. 
The last census reports 1,731 establishments, 
employing 384 steam-engines of 10,019 horse- 
power, 225 water-wheels of 2,453 horse-power, 
and .5,941 operatives. The capital invested was 
$4,501,714, and the total value of products, ^,154,- 
758. The wages paid were .$1,547,428, and the ma- 
terials consumed, $1,364,206. 

The chief products of industry were sawed 
lumbiT of $2,li;o,(«;7 in value, and flour and meal 
of $2,(153,567 ill value. 

Commerce and Kailroads.—iliaa. has no direct 



commerce ■with foreign countries. The only 
three ports of entry or custom districts, Nat- 
chez, Pearl Kiver and Vieksburgh, do not 
appear in the oflicial tables of exports and im- 
ports. The total tonnage of the state, in 1871, 
was but 2,963. The domestic commerce is car- 
ried on by way of the Mississippi and other 
navigable streams, and the railroads, which had, 
in 1872, an aggregate length of 990 mis. The 
principal line is the Great .Jackson Route, com- 
prising the consolidated lines of the New Or- 
leans, Jackson & Great Northern II. II., the 
Mississippi Central R. R., and the Mississippi 
& Tennessee R. R. It extends from New Or- 
leans to Jackson, Tenn., and has a branch from 
Grenada to Memphis. The Mobile & Ohio R. R. 
intersects the eastern portion of the state, and 
the Vieksburgh & Meridian R. R. intersects the 
state from E. to W. 

JSducation.—The total school population, ia 
1870, was 304,762, of whom only 98,600 were en- 
rolled m the public schools. The number of 
schools was 3,450, and of school teachers, 3,520. 
An earnest beginning has been made to intro- 
duce a complete system of public schools ; but 
the lack of funds has thus far been a serious 
hindrance. 

The State Normal School is located at Holly 
Springs, and admits none but those intending 
to become teachers. Tougaloo University, 
situated 7 mis. N. of Jackson, is in successful 
operation under the management of the Ameri- 
can Missionary Association. The College at 
Pass Christian, Harrison co., was organized in 
1866, and includes a pi'eparatory, collegiate and 
commercial department. Mississippi College, 
at Clinton, Hinds co., commenced in 1868 with 
2 college and 9 preparatory students, but is 
now attended by 150. It has been adopted by 
the Baptists of Arkansas as theu- state institu- 
tion. 

The University of ^Mississippi is located at 
Oxford, La Eayette co., and comprises three 
general departments ; a department of prepar- 
atory education, a department of science, lit- 
erature and the arts, and a department of pro- 
fessional education. The legislature, on the re- 
commendation of the Governor, has appropri- 
ated the sum of $50,000 per annum for ten years. 

The State Institution for the Education of 
the Blind, the Lunatic Asylum, and the State 
Penitentiary, are at Jackson. 

The Pre.is oi Miss, comprised, in 1870, 111 news- 
papers and periodicals, with a total circulation 
of 71,868. Only 3 were dailies, 92 were weeklies, 
2 semi-monthlies and 5 monthlies. 

Weullh and Taxation.— In 1870 the total as- 
sessed valuation was $177,278,890, of which $118- 
278,460 represented real estate and $59,000,430 
personal estate. The true or estimated value 
for both kinds of propertj' was $209, 197,345, 
against ,$i)07,324,911 in 1860. The great decrease 
was chiertj' due to the abolition of slavery. 

The state taxes amounted to $1,309,655, the 
county taxes to $2,299,699, and the township, 
city, etc., taxes to $127,078, making a total taxa- 
tion of $3,736,432. 

Government.— T\\e region now comprised in 
Miss, was first visited in 1540 by Dc Soto, a 
Spanish soldier of fortune. The settlement at 
Fort Rosalie (now Natchez), in 1716, by a party 
of Frenchmen under Bienville, was the first 
permanent colony. At the peace of Paris, in 
1763, Miss, became part of the English territory. 
In 1798 Miss., including Ala., was erected into a 
territory, and in 1817 was admitted as a state 
into the Union. 

The present constitution, adopted by the 
convention in 1868, provides that all male in- 
habitants who are citizens of the United Slates, 
twenty-one years of age and over, w)io have 
resided in the slate 6 months, and in the county 
one month next preceding the day of election, 
are qualified electors.

qualified electors. The Senate consists of 33 
members chosen ever four years. 

The Governor and Lieutenant-Governor are 
elected hv the qualified electors, and hold their 
offices for four years. They must be at least 30 
years of age, must have been citizens of the 
United States 20 years, and must have resided 
in the state 2 years next preceding the day of 
election. The Secretary of State, Attorney- 
General, Treasurer and Auditor of Public Ac- 
counts are also elected for 4 years, and must at 
least be 25 years of age. A sheriff, coroner, 
treasurer, assessor and surveyor are elected in 
eacli county for 2 j'ears. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, consisting of three judges, who are ap- 
pointed by the Governor, by and witli the ad- 
vice of the Senate, for 9 years. The judges of 
the Circuit Court are appointed for 6 years, and 
those of Chancery Courts for 4 years. 

Mississippi is divided into the following 72 
counties : Adams, Alcorn, Amite, Attala, Ben- 
ton, Bolivar, Calhoun, Carrol), Chickasaw,

lagoons and marshes. A levee 30 mis. long on 
the Mississippi protects the bottom-land, 
■which is very productive, from inundation. 
It is believed that the whole co. could be 
drained with but little expense. The St.

Mississippi, tu. in the above co. Pop., .357. 
Mississippi River, the principal stream in 
the North American continent, and, with its 
tributary the Missouri R., the longest in the 
world, di-ains the greater part of the United 
States. It rises in Lake Itasca (in lat. 47° 14' 
N., and in long. 95° 2' W. of Greenwich), which 
is situated in the " Hauteurs des Terres,"or 
"Height of Lands," 1,, 575 feet above the sea 
level. This lake is a beautiful sheet of trans- 
parent water, about 7 mis. long and from Ito 
3 mis. wide. One of the five small creeks that 
fall into it, coming from the W., is distinguish- 
ed from the others by its more abundant wa- 
ters and greater length, and in obedience to a 
well recognized geographical law, must be con- 
sidered the true source of the Mississippi. 
(This source is 1,680 feet above the sea.) 

On leaving Lake Itasca the stream is about 
12 feet wide and from 12 to 18 inches deep. For 
the first 25 mis. the river forms a series of 
strong rapids, and 15 mis. further E. it enters 
Cass Lake, a sheet of about 120 sq. mis. in area. 
Out of this the Mississippi flows with a width 
of 175 feet and a depth of 8 feet, and then tra- 
verses the Upper and Little Winnipec lakes. 
Below the latter the course is very winding, 
but has a general S. E. direction, gradually 
curving S. W. to Fort Ripley, where it is johi- 
ed by the Crow AVing R. Four miles below 
the mouth of Elk R. the Mississippi forces its 
-way through a narrow defile of rocks, forming 
the Little Falls. The Big Falls, further down 
the stream, consist of a series of brakes and 
chutes extending about 800 yards. 

At Minneapolis are the Falls of St. Anthony, 
where the river makes a perpendicular pitch 
of 40 feet, with rapids above and below of ad- 
ditional 25 feet of fall. About 55 mis. below 
the mouth of the Minnesota R. the Mississippi 
expands into Lake Pepin, which is from 2 to 3 
mis. wide and 27 mis. long. About 270 mis. 
farther down are the Rock River Rapids, 
where the river falls 22 feet in a distance of 
about 13 inls.; and 115 mis. further on are the 
Des Moines Rapids, 11 mis. long, with a fall at 
low water of 21 feet. 

From Lake Pepin to the junction of the 
Missouri the Mississippi ramifies in number- 
less branches or "sloughs," inclosing wooded 
islands. 

Below this junction the Mississippi is a tur- 
bid and boiling current, of immense volume 
and force, its waters destroying banks and 
islands at one locality and reconstructing 
them at another. It absorbs tributary after 
tributary, without visible increase of size. 
From the mouth of the Missouri to the town 
of Commerce, Scott co.. Mo., the western bank 
of the Mississippi is mainly composed of high 
limestone and clay bluffs, which are inter- 
rupted near Cape Girardeau by a strip of low- 
land, serving as an inlet to the St. Francois 
Bottom. The left bank of the stream, from 
the mouth of the Missouri to the mouth of 
the Kaskaskia, consists of the "American Bot- 
tom," a strip of low land which is subject to 
overflow in the highest floods. Thence to 
Commerce the banks are formed by bluffs like 
those on the opposite side, which, however, 
frequently assume the most fantastic shapes. 
From the mouth of the Ohio the river flows 
through its great alluvial flood-ground. This 
region varies in width from 22 to 73 mis., lies 
mainly below the level of its flood, and is bor- 
dered "in the E. and W. by a line of bluffs, to 
the base of which the river approaches in 
many places. At Columbus, Kv., it first strikes 
high land, which is 200 feet above high water, 
and then at Hickman, Ky.; then follow the 
four Chickasaw Bluffs in Tenn., the second 
at Kandolph and the fourth at Memphis, At

From the mouth of the lied K. to the Gulf 
of Mexico the Mississippi traverses the Delta, 
a region of 12,:wi) sq. mis. in area, consist- 
ing partly of alluvial lands lying above the 
sea level and partly of sea inarsh. It con- 
tains several lakes— as Lake Pontchartrain, 
Lake Maurepas, Grand Lake, J^ake Verret, 
Washa Lake, Lake Fields, Lake Quitman, etc., 
and is traversed by many baj'ous, three of 
■which, the Atchafalaya. P'laquemine and La 
Fourciie are connected with the Mississippi. 
Tlie river has live mouths, called passes, viz.: 
the Southwest Pass, the South Pass, the 
Southeast Pass, the Northeast Pass and the 
Pass a rOutre. 

The length of the upper Mississippi, from its 
source to its junction with the Missouri R., is, 
according to Capt. A. A. Humphrey's report, 
1,330 mis.; and of the lower Mississippi, from 
said junction to the mouth, l,2S<)mls., making 
a total for the great stream of 2,616 mis. The 
lower course is navigable at all times by the 
largest boats. In the upper course navigation 
is rendered difllcult during the lowest stages 
of water by the bars and rapids, but is usually 
open to the Falls of St. Anthony, at Minneap- 
olis, Minn. The following table sliows the

The Mississippi K., with its numerous tri- 
butaries, drains an area of 1,244,000 sq. mis. Its 
average depth below the mouth of the Ohio 
11. varies from 90 to 120 ft., and its average 
velocity of current at New Orleans is from 34 
to 35 mis. per day, or about 2 ft. per second. 
The average amount of water it discharges 
into the Gulf of Mexico is 675,000 cubic ft. per 
second, and tin; approximate quantity of 
earthy matter 237,795 tons per day. 

Owing to the vast drainage area, the river 
shows great ditferences between high and low 
■water, and frequently rises so high as to in- 
undate the bottom-lands along its oanks. The 
rise is produced by heavy raiu-falls over large 
portions of its basin, or by the melting of the 
snow in the northern parts of the same, anil 
lience cannot be predicted with any certainty. 
In 1858 four great rises took place at the head 
of the alluvial region (above the mouth of the 
Ohio). The tirst, caused mainly by a flood in 
the Ohio, ocurred in December, 1857. It filled 
the Mississippi li. to the top of the banks, and 
the maximum discharge at Columbus was 
1,190,000 cubic ft. per second. The second rise 
occurred in March and April, 1858, and was 
caused by the swelling of the lower tributaries 
Of the Missouri K. and the Upper Mississippi R. 
The third great rise was caused by heavy 
rains which swelled the lower tributaries oi" 
the Missouri 11., of the Ohio and the upper Mis- 
sissippi U. The fourth and greatest rise occur- 
red in June, and was produced by heavy rains 
during May, in the Ohio valley, and the usual 
June rise of the Missouri, by the melting of 
suqw in the liocky Mts. The stream over- 



flowed its banks, covered the swamps above 
Columbus, inundated the city of Caii-o, and 
poured rapidly into the bottom-lands of tlie 
St. i'rancis R. 

In order to protect the alluvial region from 
inundations, embankments, called " levees," 
have been raised from live to ten feet on both 
sides of the Mississippi and some of its 
lower tributaries. 
Mi«4sissipi>l Sound, extending along the 
coast of Miss, and Ala., is separated from the

is formed by three forks, flows to the S. along

48th parallel it expands into the beautiful 
Flat Head Lake, and below this it descril)es a 
curve, flowing first S., then W., and near the 
115tli meridian it is joined by the Missoula R. 
to form Clark's Fork of the Columbia. The 
Missoula R. is formed by the confluence of the 
Big Blackfoot and Hell Gate Rs., and below 
receives the Bitter Root R. The north-western 
corner of the co. is intersected by the Koote- 
ney R. The region between the Flat Head R.

MISSOURI lies W. of the IVIississippi R.,

while the Missouri R. forms part of the western 
boundary. In the N. it borders on Iowa ; in the 
W. on Nebr., Kans., and Indian Ter., and in the 
S. on Ark. It has an area of 65,350 sq. mis., or 
40,824,0(X) acres, and lies between 3(P 30' and 40° 
30' N. lat., and 89=' 2' and 95'' 51' W. long. 

Stirfuce. — The Missouri R., Avhich intersects 
the state from W.to E., divitles it into two dis- 
tinct portions. The northern portion resembles 
Iowa in structure, consists of rolling prairie.s, 
which are intersected by the deejily eroded 
valleys of the streams, and has a general slope 
froiuN. \V. to S. E. These valleys are generally 
well timbered with deciduous forests, while the 
uplands support a prairie vegetatio\i of grasses 
and herbacious plants. The southern portion 
of the state is larger than the northern and 
presents a far greater variety of surface. The 
south-eastern extremity is occupied by tlie 
Great Swamp, the product of the terrible earth- 
quakes of 1811 and 1812, which buried the town 
of New Madrid and others in the floods of the 
Mississippi, and was followed by a general sub- 
sidence of the ground. Four natural subdivis- 
ions of the Great Swamp may be distinguished, 
locally known as the St. Francis, the St. John's, 
the St. James, and the White Water, or Little 
River, Swamps. At some future time they 
will doubtless be reclaimed ; but thus far they 
have ilefled all attempts at settlement. A line

cipitous limestone rocks, bounds the Great 
Swamp ou the W., and terminates on the Mis«

sissippi, near St. Genevieve, in picturesque hills 
360 feet above tlie U. bank. 

Tliese bluffs form the margin of an extremely- 
rough and broken territory, which occupies the 
greater part of southern Mo., and gradually 
sinks down to the valleys of the Osage and 
Missouri Rs. Tlie hills are quite irregular, and 
rarely assume the form of distinct ranges, ex- 
cept in the S. AV., where they attain their great- 
estelevation in the Ozark Mts., which traverse in 
compact ridges the N. W. corner of Ark. and a 
large portion of Indian Ter. The Iron Mts. 
also appear as a continuous range, which trends 
from a point GO mis. below the mouth of the 
Missouri R.,in a S. "W. direction, and attains, in 
I^ilot Knob, an elevation of 1,490 feet above the 
sea. The portion of the state which lies W. of 
the Ozark Region and lower course of the Osage 
R. consists of rolling prairies, and, like north 
Mo., is deeply furrowed by the forest-clad val- 
levs of the streams. 

Rivers.— The principal rivers of Mo. are the 
Mississippi, which washes the entire eastern 
boundary, a distance of 470 mis., and the Mis- 
souri, which for '200 mis. forms the western 
boundary and from the point where it re- 
ceives tlie Kansas R. flows eastwardly across 
tlie state, joining the Mississippi 15 mis. N. of 
the city of St. Louis. The tributaries whicli 
empty direct into the Mississippi N. of the 
Misso'uri R. are the Little Fork R., the Wya- 
conda R., the Fabius R., formed by the North, 
Middle and South forks, and emptying opposite 
Quincy, 111., the Salt R., the Cuivre or Copper 
K.,Peruque Cr. and Bardenne Or. The Maramec 
K. is the only stream of importance which 
joins the Mississippi in this state S. of the Mis- 
souri. It rises in the Ozark Mts. and receives 
Bourbeuse and Negro Crs. The White R. be- 
longs to Ark., and with its most northerly 
curve only to Mo. Its tributaries drain the 
south-eastern portion of the state and join the 
White R. beyond its southern boundary. They 
are the North Fork, Eleven Point R., Current 
R. and Black R. The St. Francis R. and Little 
K. traverse the Great Swamp, and in Ark. unite 
with the Mississippi. 

The Missouri R. receives numerous tributaries 
in the state and drains the greater part of its 
area. Its northern affluents rise in Iowa and 
have a southerly course, as 'the Nishnabotany 
R., Nodaway R., Platte R., Grand R. (formed by 
several forks and joined by Big R., Thomas 
Fork, Medicine Cr.), Yellow Cr., Charitan R., 
Kocher Perce R. and Cedar R. The southern 
affluents of the Missouri are Lamine R., Osage 
K. (which rises in Kans. and receives the Lit- 
tle Osage R.), Sac R., Grand R., Poinmede Terre 
K., Big Niangua R., Auglaize R. and Maries 
Cr., and lastly the Gasconade R., which rises in 
the Ozark Mts. and receives Robideaux Cr. and 
Piney Fork. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of Mo. is 
subject to great extremes. The summers are 
long and hot, and the winters so cold that the 
rivers are usually bridged over with ice strong 
enough for the heaviest loads. Mo. is a healthy 
state and particularly favorable to persons af- 
flicted with pulmonary diseases. 

Near St. Louis the mean annual temperaturfi 
is 55.50°, and the mean temperature of the sea- 
sons as follows : Sirring, 5ri.l5° ; summer, 76.20° ; 
fall, 55.50°, and winter, 33.85°. 

The surface of Mo. is favorably divided be- 
tween prairie and timber land. In the northern 
and western portions of the state prairies pre- 
dominate, and the forests, chiefly of deciduous 
trees, are limited to the rich bottom-lands of 
the streams. Southern Mo. is abundantly sup- 
plied with timber. The Ozark Mts. are through- 
out covered with woods comprising oaks, elms, 
limes, sycamores, ailanthus, maples, willows, 
hickory and other nut-bearing trees, chestnuts, 
catalpas, tulip trees, poplars, cypress, pines 
and paw-paws, with an undergrowth of wild 



grapes, flowering shrubs and a great variety of 
climbers and creepei'S. 

The animal kingdom is represented by sev- 
eral species of deer, raccoons, squirrels, foxes, 
and in the mountains by bears, wild cats and 
imnthers. Wild pigeons and turkeys, quails 
and prairie hens are very abundant : eagles, fal- 
cons and owls prey on the smaller birds, fleld 
mice and moles, and the larger streams and 
swamps are animated with immense flocks of 
wild geese and ducks, herons, swans and divers. 
Nor does Mo. lack snakes, lizards, frogs and 
turtles. 

Population.— In 1810 Mo. had 20,845 inhabitants : 
in 1820, 66,557 ; in 1830, 140,455 ; in 1840, 383,702 ; in 
1850, 682,044 ; in 1860, 1,182,012, and in 1870, 1,721,295. 
Of this last number 1,603,146 were whites, 118,071 
colored persons, and 75 Indians. 

In regard to nativity the population com- 
prised the following : Born in the United States, 
1.49;),02S, inclusive of 788,491 natives of the state, 
10,963 of Ark., 2,070 of Conn., 3,843 of Ga., 72,623 
of 111., 51,303of Ind., 22,436 of Iowa, 4,933 of Kans., 
102,861 of Ky., 4,045 of La.. 2,316 of Me., 7,619 of 
Md., 5,731 of Mass., 4,570 of Mich., 3,484 of Miss., 
1,235 of Nebr., 1,384 of N. H., 3,200 of N. J., 31,805 
of N. Y., 76,062 of Ohio, 35.384 of Pa., 2,851 of S. 
C, 70,212 of Tenn., 3,386 of Tex., 2,961 of Vt., 61,- 
305 of Va. and W. Va. and 6,282 of Wis. The for- 
eign-born population numbered 222,267, of whom 
8,448 were natives of British America, 6,293 of 
France, 113,618 of Germany, 14,313 of England, 
54,983 of Ireland, 3,283 of Scotland, 1,524 of Wales, 
1,167 of Holland and 2,599 of Sweden and Nor- 
way. 

The total population of 10 years and oj^er 
numbered 1,205,568, and of these there were en- 
gaged in agriculture 263,918 ; in professional and 
personal services, 106,903 ; in trade and trans- 
portation, 54,885, and in manufactures, mining 
and mechanical trades, 79,850, making an aggre- 
gate of 505,556 persons engaged in all classes of 
occup.ations. 

Minerals and Mining. — The mineral wealth of 
Mo. is as great as that of any equal area on the 
globc.and its productions are distinguished not 
only for their immense quantity, but also for 
their excellence and purity. The coal deposits 
of northern Mo. are a portion of the great Iowa 
fleld, and within the limits of the state measure 
62,887 sq. mis. Prof. G. C. Swallow, the state ge- 
ologist, estimates the amount of available coal 
at 134,435 billions of tons. The smaller co.al 
areas in other parts of the state, compared with 
this vast amount, are but of local importance. 
The iron deposits of Mo. are perhaps surpassed 
in extent by those of Mich, and Pa.; but in 
neither of those states are such vast quantities 
of almost pure metal so near the surface or even 
upon it as here. Iron Mt., in St. Francois CO., is 
228 feet high, covers an area of 500 acres, and its 
contents, of the flnest ore, have been estimated 
at 16,555 millions of cubic feet, or 230,187,075 tons. 
Pilot Knob, in Iron co., is 581 ft. high (or 1,490 ft. 
above the sea), and covers an area of 360 acres. 
Magnetic iron, interspersed with specular iron, 
is found in immense quantities on Mt. Shep- 
perd, near Pilot Knob. Lead is,next to coal and 
iroii,the most important mineral production of 
Mo. Prof. Swallow distinguishes four lead re- 
gions : the eastern, comprising an area of 5,000 
sq. mis. in the cos. of Washington, Franklin, 
Jefferson, Crawford, Dent, Madison, St. Fran- 
cois and St. Genevieve ; the south-western, 200 
sq. mis. large, in Jasper and Newton cos., with 
the Granby mines ; the southern, 100 sq. mis. 
large, in Taney and Christian cos., and the 
Osage lead region, comprising 1,000 sq. mis. in 
the cos. of Cole, Moniteau, Morgan, Benton, 
Camden and Miller. The La Motte mines, iu 
Madison co., and discovered in 1720, yielded, in 
1870, 1,200,000 lbs. The Granby mines have been 
worked nearly 20 years. Zinc, which is rather 
rare in the United States, occurs abundantly in 
this state, and in 1872 eleven furnaces were en-

ga^ed in reducing the ore. Copper was for- 
merly mined, but for the last few years Mo. 
produces none, though the rich deposits in 
l)eat, Crawfonl and other cos. would pay liand- 
somely, if rationally worked. Cobalt, nickel, 
manganese and small quantities of gold and 
silver have been found. Various kinds of lime- 
stone, marble and granite abundantly supply 
the demand for building materials. 

Agriculture.— The soil of Mo. is remarkable 
for variety and fertilitj'. The prairies through- 
out the state are covered with a thick layer of 
highly productive loam, and the deep alluvial 
bottom-lands produce large crops of all cereals 
and fruits grown in the Temperate Zone. In 
the Ozark Mountain region there are limited 
areas of unproductive hills, easily distinguished 
by the settler, as they are generally covered 
with forests of the yellow pine, thi'iviug well in 
their sandy soil. 

According to the census there were, in 1870, 
9,130,01.1 acres of improved land, 8,9C5,-229 acres 
of wood land, and 3,011,376 acres of other unim- 
proved land. The cash value of farms was 
ii!:5'J'.VtOJj,Ol7; of farm implements, :jsl5,59S,42(5 ; of 
farm pri^ductions, including additions to stock, 
$l()3,o;{5,7.i'.), and of orchard products, $2,017,403. 

The productions were as follows: Spring 
■wheat, 1,093,905 bush.; winter wheat, 13,2-2-2,021 
buHh.; rye, .539,.532 bush.; Indian-corn, 06,034,075 
bush.; oats, 16,578,313 hush.; barley, '269,240 bush.; 
Irish pot's, 4,23S,36l bush.; sweet pot's, 241,253 
bush.; tobacco, 12,321 ,4*5 lbs.; wool, 3,649,390 lbs.; 
cotton, 1,240 bales ; butter, 14,4.5.5,825 lbs.; cheese, 
204,090 lbs.; hay, 615,611 tons ; sorghum molasses, 
1,730,171 gallons, and wine, 32i>,173 gallons. 

TUie Agricultural Department computes the 
crops for 1871 as follows : Indian-corn, 87,390,000 
bush.; wheat, 12,825,000 bush.; rye, .508,000 bush.; 
oats, 13,812,000 bush.; barley, 270,000 bush.; pota- 
toes, 3,410,000 bush.; tobacco, 13,138 lbs., and hay, 
542,000 tons. The total value of live stock was, 
In 1870, !i!84,28.5,273, and comprised 493,909 horses, 
111,502 asses and mules, 398,515 milch cows, 65.- 
825 working oxen. 689,355 other cattle, l,352,oOl 
sheep, and 2,300,430 swine. The value of ani- 
mals slaughtered was $23,626,784. 

Mnnii/'ictiires. — The number of manufacturing 
estaljlislunents, in 1870, was 11,879, which em- 
ployed 1,638 steam-engines, with 48,418 horse- 
power and 65,.354 hands. The total value of 
products was $-200,213,429 ; the capital invested 
in manufacturing, $80,257,244, and the wages 
paid, $31,055,44.5. 

Nine iron furnaces turned out products of 
$2.:»'.)1,618 value ; one bloomery of $140,000 ; two 
rolling mills of $1,455,000; one nail factory of 
$>94.o;h) ; thirty-one lead furnaces of $642,831 ; 
one bar and sheet-lea<l factory of $650,000 ; 5:il 
wagon shops of $3,253,734, and five car factories 
of $2,200,150. The value of tlour and meal was 
$31,8.37,352 ; of men's clothing, $7,271,962 ; of boots 
an<l shoes, $4.099,.5.52 ; of agricultural imple- 
ments, $1„58S,108; of furniture, $;i,303,024 ; of 
brass, produced in 10 foundries, $292,500; of 
stoves and hoUowware, $2,98l,;i50 ; of malt 
liquor, $0,519,548; of sawed lumber, $6,363,112; 
of plained lumber, $857,310, and of steam-en- 
gines anil'bollers, $3,825,100. 

The pork packtnl in 23 establishments had a 
value of $4,135;250; and the gooils made in 390 
saddle and harness shops of $5,424,635. Sixty- 
five factories turned out $8,350,511 worth of 
chewing and other tobacco, and 318 factories 
$2,059,093 worth of cigars. 

Commerce.— Mo. has great natural facilities for 
commercial intercourse. The Mississippi and 
Missouri Us. are navigable far bevond the limits 
of the state, and at all seasons afford steam boat 
commuuication with the great commercial 
cities of the interior and with New Orleans, 
while the larger tributaries of these streams 
are navigable fo short distances above their 
mouths. 
The railroad system of the state is of recent 



date, but has been perfected with the greatest 
energy. In 1853 the railroad mileage was but 
53 ; in 1856, 144 ; in 1858, 547 ; in 1862, S38 ; and in 
1872, 2,783. New lines are in course of construc- 
tion. The following are the principal lines in 
operation: Atlantic & Pacific II. U. (;j;3l mis.), 
within the state, from Pacific, 37 mis. W. of St. 
Louis, to Vinita, Indian Ter.; the Burlington & 
Southwestern B. R., from Iowa state line to 
Laclede, Linn co. (65 mis.); the Louisiana 
Branch of the Chicago & Alton R. R. (100 mis.); 
the Southwestern Branch and the Winthrop 
Branch of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific R. 
R. (108 mis.); the Hannibal & Central Missouri R. 
R., from Hannibal to Moberly (71 mis.); the Han- 
ibal & St. Joseph R. R. (200 mis.); with a branch 
to Kansas City (53 mis.); and another from Pal- 
myra to Quincy (15 mis.); the Kansas City, St. 
Joseph & Council Bluffs R. R. (148 mis.), with the 
Mary ville Branch (63 mis.); the Missouri, Kansas 
& Texas R. R. (141 mis.); the Pacific R. R. of Mis- 
souri with four branches (393 mis.); the Quincy, 
Missouri & Pacific R. R., from West Quincy to 
KirksvlUe (70 mis.); the St. Louis & Iron Ml. R. 
R. (196 mis.), with the Arkansas Branch (101 
mis.), and the Potosl Branch (4 mis.); and the 
St. Louis, Kan.sas City & Northern R. R., with 
four branches (541 mis.). 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— The value of 
property, real and personal, wasass&ssed in 1871 
at $575,129,909 ; but amounted in reality to $1,- 
284,922,897. The ta.xes, except for school pur- 
poses, are fixed at 50 cts. on $100. The total re- 
ceipts from Jan. 1 to Oct. 31, 1871, were $;3,572,- 
941, and the expenditures $2,725,759; leaving a 
cash balance in the treasury of .$847,182. The 
financial condition of the state, in the words of 
the Governor's Message of 1872, was not without 
its difticulties; but by no means discouraging. 
The funded state indebtedness in 1870 amounted, 
to $17,860,000, and the debts of counties, cities 
and townships to $29,643,905, of which $26,017,- 
619, incurred in assisting railroads and other 
improvements, were secured by bonds. 

Education. — Mo. provitles with generous liber- 
ality for its schools and institutions of learning. 
In 1872 there were 634,443 persons between the 
ages of 5 and 21 years. Of these, 330,070 were en- 
rolled In the public schools, which numbered 
6,842 against 5,418 in the preceding year. The 
number of school-houses was 6,:J87; of teachers, 
8,816, who received an aggregate of $887,019 for 
salaries. For buildings and other school pur- 
poses were expended $862,030. The average cost 
incurred by the state for each child enj6ylng 
school privileges was $11.27. 

The higher educational institutions of the 
state were the State University, at Columbia, 
with which an agricultural college is con- 
nected; the Mining School, at Rolla; three 
Normal Schools, at St. Louis, Klrksville and 
Warrensburgh; the Lincoln Institute, at Jeffer- 
son city, a seminary for colored teachers ; 19 
colleges, 33 seminaries and 92 high-schools. All 
state educational institutions are strictly non- 
sectarian. 

There were also numerous establishments not 
controlled by the state, the most prominent of 
which is the Washington University, at St. 
Louis, with an endowment of $700,000. The fol- 
lowing institutions are controlled by Roman 
Catholics: St. Vincent's Seminary, at Cape Gi- 
rardeau; St. Louis University, at St. Louis; 
Stanislaus Seminary, at Florissant ; the colleges 
at St. Louis and Hannibal ; the College of Chris- 
tian Brothers, at St. Louis. They also have 9 
female schools, 23 parochial schools and 50 ele- 
mentary schools. The Lutheran institutions 
are the Couconlla Seminary and an academy 
at St. Louis, a higher female school at St. Jo- 
seph, and about 50 parochial schools. 

Charitable and Penal InsMutions. — The insti- 
tution for the education of the blind, at St. 
Louis, was established In 1851. At Fulton there 
is uu asyluiu for the insuue and an asylum for

the deaf and dumb. The State Penitentiary, 
located at Jefferson City, is nearly self-support- 
ing. The number of prisoners dui'ing 1871 varied 
from 750 to 850. 

Government. — A new constitution was adopt- 
ed by a convention in April, 1865, and ratified 
by the people in June ; but has since then been 
modified by several amendments. The Gover- 
nor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, 
Treasurer, Auditor, Register of Lands, Attor- 
ney-General and Superintendent of Public 
Schools are elected for a term of two years, on 
the first Tuesday after the first Monday of No- 
vember, in the even j'eai'S, 1872, 1874, etc. The 
Senate comprises 34 members, elected for four 
years, one-half biennially. The House of Rep- 
resentatives consists of 138 members, who are 
chosen for two years at the general biennial 
election. The General Assembly meets annu- 
ally in the month of January. The judicial 
power is vested in a Supreme Court, 29 Circuit 
Courts, Inferior Courts, County Courts and 
Justices of the Peace. The Supreme Court is 
composed of 5 justices elected for 10 years and 
has appellate jurisdiction. The judges of the 
circuit courts are elected for six years. 

In 1872 Mo. was divided into the following 114 
counties: Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Audrain, 
Barry, Barton, Bates, Benton, Bollinger, Boone, 
Buclianan, Butler, Caldwell, Callaway, Camden, 
Cape Giranieau, Carroll, Carter, Cass, Cedar,

Jefferson City, on the Missouri R., is the state 
capital ; St. Louis, on the Mississippi R., the 
largest city and the commercial metropolis. 
The other incorporated cities, according to the 
census, are St. JosejDh, Cape Girardeau, Inde- 
pendence, Kansas City, Westport, Macon, Han- 
nibal, Louisiana, Chillicothe and St. Charles ; 
the largest villages are Springfield, Sedalia, 
Lexington, Booneville, Warrensburgh, Mexico, 
Pleasant Hill, Canton and Columbia.

Missouri River, the largest tributary of the 
Mississippi B.; is formed by three branches, 
the Jefterson, the Madison and the Gallatin 
Rs., which unite near Gallatin City, Mont. 
Ter. The Jefferson R. is formed by the Wis- 
dom, or Bighole, R., the Beaverhead R. and 
the Stinking Water R., which rise in the main 
chain of the Rocky Mts. and unite in the 
northern part of Madison co., Mont. Ter. The 
Madison R. rises W. of the Yellow Stone Lake 
In Wyo. Ter., and flows through a fertile val- 
ley between two high mountain chains, and 
the Gallatin R. traverses a similar valley 
further to the K. From Gallatin City the Mis- 



souri R. flows N. between the Rocky Mts. on 
the W., and the Belt Mts. on the E., through a 
succession of mountain valleys and enorm- 
ous canyons. The canyon near the 47th degree 
of latitude was called bv Lewis and Clark, 
wlio first explored this region, the " Gate of 
the Mountains." For 5?^ mis. perpendicular 
rocks rise from the water's edge to the height 
of nearly 1,200 ft. The river, 350 yards in width, 
seems to have forced its channel down this 
solid mass. Its current here is very strong. 
About 35 mis. above Fort Benton the river 
pours over the "Great Falls," consisting of 
five principal cascades, varying in height 
from 6 to 76 ft. Up to the last and highest of 
these cascades the Missouri R. is navigable, a 
distance of 2,670 mis. above its mouth, and 
3,956 mis. above the mouth of the Mississippi 
R., forming with the latter sti'eam the long- 
est natural water-route in the world. 

About 25 mis. below Fort Benton the Mis- 
souri R. enters upon its easterly course, which 
it pursues along the 4Sth parallel as far as the 
103d meridian. From this point it fiows S. S. 
E. to 39° 18', where it turns E., intersecting 
the state of Mo. to its confluence with fhe 
Mississippi R., 16 mis. above St. Louis. 

From the Great Falls to the mouth of the 
Maria's R. the banks of the INIissouri are fiom 
100 to 160 feet in height. Below the IMaria's R. 
they fall back with a gradual slope to the gen- 
eral prairie, and the R. flows with sweeping 
curves among beiiutiful islands. On reaching 
the Bear's Paw Mts. they are crowned with 
abrupt bluffs and detached pillars of partially 
cemented sand, capped with huge globes of 
samlstone. At tlie mouth of Judith R. the 
Missouri enters the Mauvaise Torres, or " Bad 
Lands," where not an island nor shrub is seen 
— nothing but huge bare pillars of mud, tow- 
ering up as high .as they can, and crowding 
each other for room. Below this repulsive re- 
gion the banks become richer, and small bot- 
toms, covered with fields of rank grass or 
thick groves of Cottonwood, cherry and wil- 
low accompany the stream. 

Between the mouth of the Milk R. and the 
mouth of the Yellow Stone the Missouri is a 
wide, turgid stream, with an ever-changing 
channel, and clioaked with sand-bars, its great 
volume of water, however, securing a navi- 
gable channel on one side or the other. Below 
the mouth of the Yellow Stone the R. has gen- 
erally a uniform width, varying from ],/^ to },^ 
a mle. when the banks are full, and is accom- 
panied by bottom-lands increasing in wiilth 
and fertility as we proceed downward. The 
Missouri drains an area of 518,000 sq. mis., and 
in the mean discharges 120,000 cubic feet of 
water per second. The range between low 
and high water at Fort Benton is 6 feet; at 
St. Joseph, 20 feet, and at the mouth, 35 feet.

MONROE. 



Mono I/ake, In Mono co., Cal.; lies E. of the 
main crest of tlie Sierra Nevada, and is 14 
mis. from E. to W. and 9 mis. from N. to S. 
Its water is intensely bitter anil saline, and 
has a high specific gravity, containing mnch 
salt, lime, borax and carbonate of soda. The 
lake contains a niimber of islands composed 
of volcanic materials, on one of which there 
are hundreds of fumaroles, emitting gas, 
steam and smoke. From its great depth and 
peculiar formation it is supposed to occupy 
the crater of an ancient volcano. There are 
now scattered about in the vicinity numerous 
cones and partial craters. It is entirely de- 
void of life, and Mono Lake has not inaptly 
been termed the "Dead Sea" of the Great 
Basin.

MONTANA, one of the western territories. 

Is bounded on the N. by British America, on the 

W. by Idaho Ter., on the S. by Idaho and Wyo. 

Ters., and on the E. by Duk. Ter. It lies be- 



tween 104° and 116= W. long, and 44° 26' and 49=> 
N. lat., embracing an area of 143,776 sq. mis. or 
92.016,640 acres. 

Surface.— The western part of the territory is 
occupied by the Rocky Mts., and many of their 
spurs and outliers : tlie eastern part belongs to 
the region of the " Great Plains,'' that vast and 
gently rolling table-land which extends along 
the eastern base of the Rocky Mts. throughout 
their entire length, and gradually sinks away 
toward the central valleys of the Mississippi 
and the Red River of the"North. A line drawn 
from the intersection of the southern state line 
ot Mont, with the 109th meridian, to the inter- 
section of the northern with the 113th meridian, 
roughly marks the boundary between these two 
sections. 

The principal range of the Rocky Mts. trends 
along the south-western boundary of the terri- 
tory from the west line of Wyo. Ter. to the in- 
tersection of the parallel 4.5^ 40' N. lat. with the 
114th meridian, where it bends suddenly east- 
ward, and then froni near the 112th meridian 
runs N. N. W. to the northern line of Mont. The 
Bitter Root Mts. l)ranch off from the great east- 
erly bend of the Rocky Mts., and together with 
the Coeur d'AUene Mts., further tothoN., form 
the western boundary of the territory to the 
48th parallel. Other ranges, as for instance the 
Snow Jtts., a continuation of the Big Horn Mts. 
of Wyo. Ter., enter the southern part of Slont. 
This great mountain belt has an average width 
of from 175 to 200 mis., and includes the source 
streams of the Missouri R. and of Clark's Fork 
of the Columbia R. Although the ranges of 
Mont, are considerablv lower than those of 
Wyo. and Colo. Ters., further S., they abound 
in grand and picturesque scenery. The highest 
pks. probably do not exceed 10,000 or 12,0(X) feet 
above the sea level; the passes often sink below 
5,000 feet, and the valleys, deeply countersunk 
in the mountain flanks,"average about 4,000 feet. 

The eastern part of the territory has an eleva- 
tion varying from about 4. 000 feet, near the base 
of the Rocky Mts., to about 2,000 feet at the 
Dakota line. Somie isolated mountain ranges 
rise in various localities and diversify the gen- 
erally even or rolling surface. South of the 
Missouri R. are the Belt Mts., the Highwood 
Mts., the Judith Mts., etc. Between the Yellow 
Stone and Muscle Shoal Rs. are the Crazy Mts., 
and between the Missouri and Maria's Rs. the 
Bear's Paw and Little Rocky Mts. 

Rivers and Lakes.— yiont. belongs to the drain- 
age systems of the Missouri R. and the Colum- 
bia R. The culminating range of the Rocky 
Mts. is the water-shed, which divides them. 
Clark's Fork of the Columbia is formed by the 
confluence of the Missoula and Flat Head Rs. 

The Flathead R. rises among the Rocky Mts. 
of British America, flows S. to its junctinn with 
the Jocko R., and then due W. for about .iO mis. 
Near the 48th parallel the stream expands into 
the beautiful Flathead Lake, about 30 mis. long 
and 10 mis. wide, which is surrounded by a belt 
of beautiful meadows. The principal ti'ibuta- 
ries are Maple R., Hotspring Cr. and .Jocko R. 
The latter runs through a valley including 
about 50 sq. mis. of good arable land, which 
mav easily be irrigated. 

The Missoula R. is formed by the confluence 
of the Big Blackfoot R. and tlie Hell Gate R.; 
and receives Fishery Cr. and Regis Borgia R., 
which have their sources in the Bitter Root Mts. 
The Hell Gate R. is formed by the Deer Lodge 
R. and Little Blackfoot R.. and receives Stony 
and Flint Crs. and Bitter Root R. Deer Lodge 
R. rises in the great bend of the Rocky Mts., 
near Deer Lodge Pass, and flows through a verv 
beautiful and fertile valley, 4")0 sq. mis. of which 
can be irrigated and cuUiVated. The valley of 
the Bitter Root R. includes some of the finest 
agricultural land in Mont., probably exceeding 
750 sq. mis. in area. 

The source streams of the Missouri are Jeffer-

eon, Madison anrt Gallatin Rs., which unite near 
Gallatin city. The largest of these is the Jef- 
ferson, which is formed by the confluence of 
the Wisdom or Big Hole R., Beaver Head R., 
and Stinking Water R. They drain the great 
horse-shoe bend formed by tlie principal chain 
of the Rocky Mts. in Beaver Head and Madison 
COS. Big Hole Prairie, on the banks of the river 
of the same name, about 50 mis. long and 16 
mis. wide, is covered with nutritions grass and 
affords one of the best summer grazing fields of 
the territory. 

Madison R., whose upper course is called Fire 
Hole R., rises in the region of hot springs and 
geysers near Yellow Stone Lake, which forms 
part of the National Park in Wyo. Ter. Galla- 
tin R. is formed by the East an"d West Forks. 
Its valley is separated from that of the Yellow 
Stone by a spur of the Rocky Mts. 

Below the junction of the three streams above 
named, the Missouri flows N. through a narrow 
but very fertile valley as far as St. Peter's Mis- 
sion, where it changes its course to the N. E., 
skii'ting the northern base of the Belt and High- 
wood Mts. Here it forms the Great Falls, about 
40 mis. above Fort Benton, the head of naviga- 
tion. From the intersection of the •tSth p.aral- 
lel with the 110th meridian, to the state line, 
the Missouri follows an easterly course. Its 
tributaries in Mont, are numerous. North 
Bowlder Or., Prickly Bear Or., Deerborn R., 
Teton R. and Marias R. rise in the principal 
chain of the Rocky Mts. Deej) R. flows through 
a valle.v of the Belt Mts., which contains good 
farm and grazing land. Milk R., a large stream, 
rises in British America and joins the ]Missouri 
near long. 10G° 15'. Judith and Muscle Shell Rs. 
rise in the Belt Mts. 

The Yellow Stone R. is the outlet of the lake 
of the same name, which lies in the National 
Park, in Wyo., flows N., then turns N. E. and 
empties into the Missouri R. below Fort 
Union, near the eastern boundary of Mont. In 
length and size it is not inferior to the parent 
stream, and for small vessels it is navigable for 
330 mis. Its largest tributaries, the Big Horn, 
Tongue and Powder Rs., rise in Wyo. 

The Clhnate of Mont, is much warmer than 
that of the states further E. in the same lati- 
tude. The mean annual temperature of the 
eastern portion of the territory varies from 
44° to 48° Fahr., and corresponds with that of 
southern Mass. and Conn.j 6° of lat. further S. 
The mountainous portion is colder, on account 
of its greater elevation, but many of the shel- 
tered valleys have so mild a climate that fruit 
and grain ai-e successfully cultivated. At Fort 
Owen, on the Bitter Root R., 3,284 feet above 
the sea, the mean temperature of spring has 
been found to be 48° ; of summer, 09.50° ; of fall, 
45.50°, and of winter, 24.75°, making a yearly 
mean of 46.75°. Observations made at Deer 
Lodge City, in an elevation of 4,768 feet, show 
the mean temperature of spring to be 41.50° ; of 
summer, 63° ; of fall, 43.16°; of winter, 20.50°, and 
of the year, 41. '20°. 

The great distance of the territory from the 
seaboard renders the climate very dry. The 
greater portion receives but 12 inches of moist- 
ure (rain and snow) during the year. The 
western mountain slopes, being exposed to the 
winds from the Pacific Ocean, receive 16 inches 
and somewhat over. 

The mountains of Mont, are usually well 
timbered, but the woods consist almost exclu- 
sively of willow, poplar and coniferous trees 
(pine, fir, spruce, cedar and balsam). Hickory, 
oak or other hard woods have not yet been 
found in the territory. 

Populalion. — Mont, was settled by emigrants 
from other states, and organized as a territory 
under an Act of Congress approved May 26, 1864. 

According to the census report, the popula- 
tion in 1870 was 39,895, including 18,306 whites, 
IBS colored persons, 1,949 Chinese and 19,457 In- 



dians, of whom all but 157 sustained tribal rela- 
tions and led a nomadic life. The natives of 
the United States numbered 12,616, of whom 
1,693 were born \\\ the territory, 468 in Iowa, .523 
in Ky., 333 in Me., 142 in ISId., 1,305 in Mo., 296 in 
Mass.. 218 in Mich., 101 in N. H., lis in N. J., 1.683 
in N. Y., 1,127 in Ohio, 911 in Pa., 185 in Vt., 375 in 
Va. and W. Va., 256 in Wis., and \m in Utah. 
The foreign-born population numbered 7,979, 
including 1,172 natives of British America, 1,233 
of Germany, 692 of England, 1,635 of Ireland 
and 141 of Sweeden. 

The population of 10 years and over num- 
bered 18,170, of whom 14,048 were engaged in 
the different useful occupations, viz.": 2,111 in 
agriculture, 2,674 in professional and personal 
services, 1,233 in trade and transportation, and 
8,030 in mining, mechanical trades and manu- 
factures. 

Minerals and ilitnmg'.— With regard to mineral 
resources, Mont, is one of the most favored 
sections of the Union. Veins of gold, silver, 
copper, lead and coal liaA^e been discovered in 
nearly all the explored mountain districts. 
Placer mines are numerous, and are found even 
near the summits of the mountains. The mines 
on Cedar Cr. are believed to be rich enough to 
furnish profitable employment to from 5,000 to 
10,000 miners. The territory has over 700 mis. 
of ditches, constructed at a cost of $;5,!V)0,000. It 
is estimated that $100,000,000 of gold have been 
taken from the mines since 1863, and that the 
yield in 1870 amounted to $12,000,000. Silver is 
■found in the Flint Cr. Valley, in the Belt Mts., 
near Helena, and other localities. Near Fort 
Howie and Bannock City are productive cop- 
per mines. Bituminous coal hasbeen discovered 
along Dearborn and Bighole Rs., and in the 
Mullen and Bozeman Passes. 

Agriculture. — The valleys in the mountain re- 
gion embrace large bodies of highly productive 
farm lands, which in their natural state are 
covered with nutritious grasses, and when 
properly cultivated and irrigated will certainly 
be a source of gi-eat wealth. 

In 1870 there were 84,674 acres of improved 
land, 1,198 acres of woodland, and 53,665 acres of 
other unimproved land in the farms of tlie terri- 
tory. The cash value of farms was $729,193, and 
of "farm productions, including additions to 
stock, $1,676,6(;0. 

There were 177,535 bush, of spring wheat, 3,649 
bush, of winter wheat, 1,141 bush, of rye, 320 
bush, of Indian-corn, U9,.367bush. of oats, 85,756 
bush, of barley, 91,477, bush, of Irish pot's, 600 
lbs. of tobacco, 408,080 lbs. of butter and 18,727 
tons of hay. 

As a grazing i-egion Mont, is believed to be 
\insnrpassed. The grass is abundant and of 
good quality, and the winters are mild in the 
sheltered valleys of the mountain belt. " I know 
of no business," writes Governor B. F. Potts, 
" which offers such solid inducements as stock 
raising in Mont. Men long engaged in the busi- 
ness assure me that the profits exceed four per 
cent, a month, thus doubling the capital in two 
years." 

The live stock had a value of $1,818,693, and in- 
cluded 5,289 horses, 475 mules and asses, 12,432 
milch cows, 1,761 working oxen, 22,545 other cat- 
tle, 2,024 sheep, and 2..599 swine. 

The Manufactures oi Mont, are thus far neith- 
er extensive nor varied, the settlements being 
of too recent a date. But a beginning has been 
made, and, with coal and water-power in abun- 
dance, Mont, will, at no distant day, occupy 
a prominent place in this branch of indus- 
try. In 1870 there were 201 manufacturing es- 
tablishments, employing 701 operatives, and 
$1,794,300 of capital, and turning out products of 
$2,494,511 in value. Flour and meal was produced 
in eight mills to the value of $t80,s,59; malt 
liquor of $112,998 ; sawed lumber of $430,957, and 
milled quartz of $801,873. 

Mont, has several large navigable streams.

XKKKASKA is bounded on the N. by Dak. 
Tei'., from which it is partly sei)arated by the 
Keya Paha U., the Nebraska R. and the Missou- 
ri K.; on the K. by Iowa and Mo., from which 
it is separated bv the Missouri K.; on the S, by 
Kans. and Col. Ter., and on the W. bv Wyo. Ter. 
It lies between 40° and 43° N. lat., and 95° 13' and 
104° W. lonjr., and its area is 75,995 sq. mis., or 
48.()36..S00 acres. The length from K. to W. is 412 
nils., and the width from N. to S. 20S mis. 

Surface. — Nebr. is a part of that vast plain 
Avhich extends along the eastern base of the 
Kocky Mts., and gently slopes down toward the 
Mississippi 11. The surface is flat or gently un- 
dulating. There are no ranges or elevations in 
the state that might be termed mouiltains. The 
soil consists for the most part of a black and 
porous loain, which is slightly mixed withsand 
and lime. The streams now in deeply eroded 
valleys with broad alluvial flood-grounds or 
bottoms of the greatest fertility, which are gen- 
erally well timbered with cotfonwood, poplar, 
ash and other deciduous trees. The uplands 
are undulating prairies, presenting an almost 
unlimited fleld for stock raising and woolgrow- 
irig. Thousands of cattle are annually brought 
from Tex. and fattened on the wild grasses of 
these prairies. 

Late surveys establish the fact that the ag- 
gregate area "or the bottom-lands is from 13,000,- 
000 to 14,00<l,000 of aeies. 

In the N.,VV. part of the state are the so-called 
"mauvaises terres," or bad lands, extensive 
tracts of country which are covered with rocks 
and hills worn into the most wierd and fanci- 
ful forms ; and in the N. i)art are sand hills or 
domes, which have been raised by the prevailing 
■winds piling up the dry and loose materials of 
whicli they ai'e composed into their present 
picturesque forms. 

JRivers. — The Missouri, after traversing Dak. 
Ter., forms part of the northern and the whole 
Of the eastern boundaiy of the state. It flows 
through a vast bottom bounded by lofty bluffs, 
and has within the state but two large tributa- 
j-ies, the Niobrara and the Nebraska, or Platte, 
Its. The former intersects the northern tier of 
counties and receives Smoky 11., Keya Paha ii. 
and other affluents. The principal stream of 
the state, the Platte R., is formed by the North 
and South Forks uniting near North Platte, in 
Lincoln co., and then flows in a general east- 
ward direction, joining the Missouri above 
Plattsnumlh. It is a flue stream, carrying aa 
immense body of water during the rainy season; 
but owing to "its broad and sliallow bed is not 
navigable. All its tributaries of importance 
come from tlie N., as Wood R., Loup Fork, with 
its numerous branches. Elk Horn R. and others. 
With the exception of Salt Cr., no stream flows 
into the Plat le on the S., the waters on that 
side, though rising in some cases within 10 mis. 
of its banks, running to the S. K. and joining 
the Republican Fork of the Kansas R., which 
flows through tliesonthei'n partof Nebr. These 
streams are Mu<ldy Cr., Little Blue K., with Big 
Sanily Cr., and the Big Blue R., with numerous 
branches and affluents. The smaller streams 



■which join the Missouri are Great Nemaha R., 
Little Nemaha R., which drains the south-east- 
ern counties. Weeping Water R. and others. 

T/ie Climate of Nebr. is on the whole similar 
to that of other states of the great Mississippi 
plain in the same latitude. The mean annual 
temperature varies from 47° in the most north- 
ern section to Xi° in the most southern. But 
owing to the greater elevation, the western part 
of the state is somewhat colder than the eastern. 
In winter the westerly winds, sweeping down 
from the Rocky Mts., often depress the ther- 
mometer to 20° and sometimes to even 3u° lielow 
zero; while in summer a temperature of 100° 
and over is not unusual. In the southern tier 
of counties the mean temperature of summer 
is 7()>4°, and of -winter, 30i<^°. 

The greatest amount of i-ain and snow (-28 and 
SOinches) falls in the Missouri Valley, and thence 
westward the rain-fall steaitily decreases to 24 
inches near Fort Kearney, IB inches in the west- 
ern counties and 12 inches in the S. W. corner 
of the state. 

Population. — Nebr. had, in 1800, a population 
of 28,841, and in 1870, of 122,993. Of these, 92,245 
were natives of the United States, including 
18,4-25 natives of the state. The foieign-born 
populatioTi numbered 30,748 ; of wliom 2,(i35 were 
born in British America, 10,954 in Germany, 299 
in Austria, 593 in Switzerland, 2,352 in Sweden, 
506 in Norway, 4,616 in England, Scotland and 
Wales, and 4,999 in Ireland. The colored popu- 
lation was small, numbering but 789, and the 
last census reports but 87 Indians. 

Minerals and Afmingr.— Although no traces of 
the precious metals have thus far been discov- 
ered, Nebr. is rich in mineral treasures. Pro- 
ductive coal fields underlie the greater part of 
the state, and mines are in operation along tho 
Platte R., near Pawnee City, on Nemaha R. and 
in other localites. The salt basins of Nebr. are 
rich and extensive. The principal one is located 
in Lancaster co., surrounding the city of Lin- 
coln, and embracing an area of 12 by 25 mis. 
The brine from the springs yields 29 per cent, 
by weight of good salt. In the same co. there 
are inexhaustible quarries of sandstone, which 
is very soft when quarried, but hardens by ex- 
posure to the air. Blue limestone is found near 
the head waters of Salt Cr., and near Lincoln, 
and beautiful gray magnesian limestone, 'as 
susceptible of fine polish as Italian marble. 

Agriculture. — About one-fourth of the area of 
Nebr., embracing the Bad Lands and Sand Hills 
of the N. W., is unfit for farming: another 
fourth consists of the rich alluvial river bot- 
toms, and the remaining half of undulating 
prairie uplands. By the United Stales agricul- 
tural report for 1872, the average ci'ojis are as 
follows: Oats, 40 bush, per acre; barley, 3114 
bush.; rye, 21J^ bush.; hay, \% tons; pot's, 120 
bush.; -Cvheat, 17)^ bush., and corn, 39 bush. 
These figures attest the extraordinary fertility 
of the farm lands of the state. 

In 1870 the farms embraced 2,073,781 acres, of 
-which 647,031 acres were improved land, 213.374 
acres woodland and the remainder uniinjiroved. 
The number of farms was 12,301, against 2,789 in 
1860. 

The total value of farms -was $30,242,186, and of 
farm productions, including adilitions to stock, 
etc., $8,604,724. The principal productions are 
spring wheat, 2,109,321 bush.; -winter wheat, 15,- 
765 bush.; rj'c, 13,532 busli.; Indian-corn, 4,736,710 
bush.; oats, 1,477,5()2 bush.; barley, 216,481 bush.; 
Irish pot's, 739,984 bush.; tobacco, 5,988 lbs.; wool, 
74,6.55 lbs.; butter, 1,.539,535 lbs.; hay, 169,;i54 tons, 
and sorghum molasses, 77,598 galsl 

The total live slock hail a value of i^fv^SljlSo, 
and comprised 30,511 horses, 2,632 mules and ass- 
es, 28,940 milch cows, 5,931 working oxen, 45,057 
other cattle, 22,725 sheep and 59,449 swine. 

The Manv/ncturing interests of the state are 
as yet little developed. In 1870 there were 670 
manufacturing estubiishmeuts, employing 1,86&

pentering and building, $535,520; distilled li- 
quors, $146,789 and malt liquors, $83,832. 

The Commerce of Nebr. is exclusively domes- 
tie and restricted to the importation from the 
older states of groceries, manufactures and ar- 
ticles of luxury, and shipping cattle and country 
produce. Thus far, however, but little produce 
Is shipped, as the constant influx of immigrants 
requires its retention at home. 

The railroads are being pushed forward with 
great enei-gv. in 1865 the length of railroads 
was 1-22 inks"; in 1868, 473 mis.; in 1870,705 mis.; 
Jn 1871, 943 mis., and in 1872, 1,051 mis. The Union 
Pacific R. li. extends from Omaha through the 
entire length of the state, and in the main fol- 
lows the valley of the Platte 11. The Burling- 
ton & Missouri River R. R. runs along the val- 
ley of the Platte R. from Plattsmouth to Ash- 
land, and thence to Ijineoln and to the junction 
With tlie Union Pacific R. R., W. of Fort Kear- 
ney. Tlie Midland Pacific R. R. extends from 
Nebraska City on the Missouri R. to Seward, 
Sewartl co. The Omaha & Northwestern R. R. 
is in operation from Omaha to Herman, Wash- 
ington CO , and will be extended to Niobrara R. 
The Omaha & Southwestern R. R. consists of 
two lines : the one running from Omaha to Oma- 
ha Junction on the Burlington & Missouri River 
R. R. and the other from Crete, on the last- 
named line, to Beatrice, Gageco., following the 
valley of the Big Blue R. The northern part of 
the Atchisou & Nebraska R. R. is within this 
state and extends from the southern state line, 
near the Missouri R., to Lincoln. The Fremont, 
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley R. R. has been com- 
pleted from Fremont to "Wisner, Cuming co., 
and will be extended to the Niobrara R. 

Wealth, Taxation and Indebtedness. — In 1870 
the true or estimated value of real and personal 
estate was $69,277,483, and the assessed value 
$54,584,616, of which $;i8,365,i)99 was for real es- 
tate, and $16,218,617 for personal property. The 
State Board of Equalization reports "the as- 
sessed valuation of both kinds of property 
for 1871 to have been $55,549,868, and for 1872, $69,- 
323,950, showing an increase during the last year 
Of $14,323,950. 

The total state debt on the 1st of January, 
1873, was $292,595, while the resources of tlie 
state on the same day amounted to $836,023, viz.: 
$356,634 cash in treasury, $244,558 taxes due, $215,- 
321 delinquent taxes due, and $19,510 militia ex- 
penses due from the United States. 

The total receipts during the year 1872 were 
$1,058,704, and the expenditures $739,616. 

Education, Press, etc — Nebr. luis more organ- 
ized schools, more school-houses, and those of 
a superior character ; more money invested in 
buildings, books, etc., than were ever had be- 
fore by any state of the same age. The land en- 
dowment for the public schools embi-aces one- 
eighteenth of the entire area of the state, .',623,- 
08U acres. The Governor is of the opinion that 
the whole educational system, from eommon 
school to university, can be made entirely in- 
dependent of the state. 

In 1870tlienuuiberof school districts was 1,032; 
of persons in the school age, 41,063, and of these 
there were enrolled in the public schools 2.'>,15S. 
An excellent Normal School for the training of 
teachers is located at Peru, Nemaha co. Tlie 
State University is at Nebraska City. The State 
Asylum for the'Deaf and Dumb, at Omaha, was 
opened in 1869. At Lincoln are the State Luna- 
tic Asylum and the State Penitentiary. 

The'number of newspapers published in the 
State was 42, with a circulation of 31,600, viz.: 7 
dailies, 1 tri- weekly, 30 weeklies and 4 monthlies. 



Government.— 'SehYa,s}iSi was organized as a 
territory in May, 1854. A constitution was 
framed by the State Convention and ratified 
by the people in 1866, and in January, 1867, 
Nebraska was admitted into the Union as a 
state. The executive power is vested in a Gov- 
ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, 
Treasurer, and Auditor. These officers are 
elected for two years, except the Auditor, who 
IS elected for four years. 

The LegislaUire consists of a Senate and a 
House of Representatives. The former has 13 
members, the latter 29 members. All male citi- 
zens of the United States, who have residtsd 6 
months in the State, and ten days in the district 
in which they ofi'er to vote, are legal electors. 

The Judiciary comprises a Supreme Court, 
District Courts, Probate Courts, and Justices 
of the Peace. The Supreme Court consists of a 
Chief Justice and two Associate Justices, 
elected for a period of 6 years. The state is 
divided into three judicial districts, in each of 
wliieh one of the supreme court justices holds 
District Court Sessions.

NEVADA extends from 114° to 120° W. long., 
and the noi-ihern boundary coincides with the 
42 parallel of N. hit. On the S. E. it is bounded 
by the Colorado R., and on the S. W. by a line 
drawn from the intersection of 39° N. lat. with 
1-20° W. long, to the right bank of the Colorado 
near Fort Mojave in 35° N. lat. The area is 11-2,- 
090 sq. mis., or 71,737,000 acres. 

Surface.— "Sev. forms part of the elevated 
plain lying between the Sierra Nevada and the 
WahsatchMts., and known to geographers as 
the Great Basin. It has a mean elesalion of 
over 4,000 feet, and is traversed from N. to S. by 
numerous mountain ranges from 1,000 to 6,000 
feet above the general level of the country, 
which are separated from each other l)y valleys 
varying in width from 5 to 10 uUs. The paral- 
lelism of these mountains and valleys imparts 
to the country a character of great uniformity. 
The combined area of the valleys and the area 
occupied by the mountains and'their foothills 
are very nearly equal. The Sierra Nevada, of 
California, bounds the basin on the W. by its 
steep eastern slope, and enters Nev. at only 
a single point, where it throws over the border 
a hi^h flanking spur, the Washoe Mts. Along 
the base of the Sierra extends a depression ot 
the surface about 3,8.50 feet above the sea level, 
into which flow the Humboldt, Truckee, Car- 
son's and Quiim's Rs. Prom this depression the 
general level of the country rises gradually- 
eastward to the border of the state, near which 
the valleys have a height of about 6,000 feet.

NEVADA. 



The monntains are mostly destitute of water, 
•with suiall rivulets or scii'uty springs at their 
bases. Tlie lowest portion of every valley is 
oecupied by an alkali flat, where in the winter 
the moisture collects and renders the clay-like 
rand bottomless and impassable. Tlie three 
highest ranges, which I'eeeive heavier snowfalls 
in winter and more abundant rains in suuimer, 
are the West Hiunbohlt Mts., 100 mis. K. of the 
California state line; the East Humboldt Mts., 
75 mis. from the Utah line, and the Toyabes, 
nearly intermediate between the two. Star 
Pk., the highest point of the West Humboldt 
Mts., is 10,OUO feet high, and several pks. of the 
Southern Toyabe range from 10,000 to 1-2,000 
feet in elevation. Between the West Humboldt 
Mts. and the Cal. state line are the following 
ranges: Trinity Mts. and AntelO])e Mts., form- 
ing one chain, which bounds the valley of the 
Lowi'r Humboldt K. on the \V.; the'Trnckee 
Mts., E. of Winnemncca Lake: the Lake Range, 
bet\veeu Winnemuccaand Tyramid Lakes ; iind 
the N'irginia Mts., W. of Pyramid Lake and ex- 
tending S. to within a short distance of Carson 
City. 

IJetwecn the Toyabe Mts. and the West Hum- 
boldt Mts., with iheir continuation N. of the 
Humboldt U., the Santa Rosa Mts., are the 
Pali-Utt! Mts. and the Coyote Mts., with Pleas- 
ant, Grass and Regan Valleys. To the E. of 
the Toyabe extends Smoky Valley, which is 
Beparat'eil from Monitor Valley by the Smoky 
liange. In the southern prolongation of tlie 
East Humboldt Mis. is the White Pine \'alley, 
■which separates the Hot Creek and Reveille 
ranges. Still further E. there follow the 15utte 
and Ruby valleys, Egan Mts.,SteptoeValley, Un- 
gaweah Mts., Ahtelo]ie Valley and Goslioot Mts. 

The south-eastt^rn portion of the state belongs 
to tlie Colorado IJasin, measuring about l'2,0l)0 
eq. mis. A low broken range, with the pks. 
Tem Piute, Pahranegat and Picohe, forms its 
northern rim. The surface is diversifled by 
abrupt ranges, with intervening valleys. The 
most important are the Kingston, Spring Moun- 
tain, Vegas and Muddy Ranges, which greatly 
vary in height above tlie valleys. 

Jiivers and Xofccs.— The largest stream of 
Nev. is the Humboldt R. (see page 4l.i), which 
traverses the state from W. to E. and termin- 
ates in the lai'ge " sink," or muil plain, which 
also receives the Carson R. The Truekoe R. 
issues from Lake Talioe in the Sierra Nevada, 
Cal.; after a rapid descent breaks through the 
Virginia .Mts., and turning N. empties into Py- 
ramid and Winnemucca lakes. Quinn's R. iii- 
tersects the N. W. part of the stale and termin- 
ates in the Black Rock Desert. Walker's Lake 
lies in Esmeralda eo., and receives Walker's K., 
•which rises in the Sierra Nevada. Reese R. 
traverses the valley W. of the Toyabe Mts. fioin 
S. to N., without, liowever, reaching the Hum- 
boldt R. These riverS are all small, but for a 
region soarid and destitute of water have great 
economical v.alue. 

Tluaireat Colorado R. of the AVest intersects 
the southern extremity of Nev. and then forms 
part of the S. E. boundary, separating it from 
Ariz. Ter. A few small "creeks are the only 
tributaries it receives from this state. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of Nev. 
Is characterized by great e.xtremes — cold win- 
ters and hot summers— and by a very drv at- 
mosphere with but little rain" or sno'w. The 
annual amount of moisture falling in the two 
forms is roughly estimated at IS inches, one- 
lialf between tlie months of April and Novem- 
ber inclusive. In the warmer months the rains 
are always limited and of short iluration. Dew 
is almost unknown. 

Tlie vegetation of Nev. is very scanty, espec- 
ially in tlie southern part of the state, l)nt no- 
•where is the surface entirelx' destitute of plant 
life, except on the alkali Hats of the valleys. 
The sage-brush, or Artemisia, covers extousive 



tracts. Along the streams extend belts of 
meadow-land. Timber is scarce, continuous 
forests are wanting, and the slopes of some of 
the mountain ranges only support small groves 
of trees. 

Poptdation.—lhe aggregate population in 1870 
was 42,401, of whom 3S,759 were white, 347 color- 
ed, 3,152 Chinese and 23 Indians. 

The number of persons born in the United 
States was 23,690, of whom 2.313 were natives of 
Nev.; and in foreign count ries, 18,801, of whom 
2,3i6 were born in British America, 2.549 in Eng- 
land, 5,035 in Ireland and 2,181 in (iermaiiy. 

in all classes of occupations were engaged 
2G,9ll persons, viz.: '2,070 in agriculture. 7,4.'>1 in 
personal and professional services, 3,i)il in trade 
and transportation and 13,789 in mining, me- 
chanical trades au<l manufactures. 

Minerals and Mining. — Nev. is preeminently 
a mining state. In 1872 it produced nearly one- 
half of all the bullion produced W. of the Mis- 
souri R. The state then had l(i2 mills and fur- 
naces, with 1,004 stamps, and capable of reduc- 
ing daily .5,183 tons of ore. The mills turned 
out, for 1871, $20,010,175, and for 187^2, *:3,719,212 in 
gold and silver bullion, besides several thou- 
sand tons of lead, copper and antimony. The 
cos. which producetl more than itl,ooo,0u6 in bul- 
lion in 1871 were the following : Lauder, *.',099,- 
014; Lincoln.. 'ji:j,G04,833; Storey, $10,044,704 ; White 
Pine, $l,2-23,2*;6. 

The richest silver and gold deposit of the 
state, and probably in the world, is the famous 
" Comstock Lode "in the N'irginia Range, Storey 
CO. It crops out on the eastern slope of the 
range at an altitude of about '2,000 feet above 
the level of the plains, and has been clearly 
traced about 4 mis., within two of which are 
the portions that have thus far been developed. 
The "Sutro Tunnel," now in progress of con- 
struction, is intended to facilitate the Working 
of the mines on the Comsiock Lode, by pene- 
trating the vein at a greater depih. When 
completed it will make easy the draining of the 
mines, and will allow the ores to be brought to 
the surface at an easy grade, thus avoiding the 
expense of pumping and hoisting from great 
depths. 

AgricuUvre. — The soil of the valleys is not 
lacking in the elements retiuired forplauts.but 
the aridity of the climate restricts the lands tit 
for farming to the areas that may be irrigated. 
The Land Oflice report for 18(59 estimates the 
agricultural lauds at 17,008,960 acres (embracing 
meadow lands bordering on rivers, lakes and 
mountain streams, also the richest i)ortion of 
the sage-brush lands, contiguous to the rivers), 
the grazing land at •23,!>;)8,7-6 acres, and reclaima- 
ble swamp lands at 74,800 acres. 

in 1870 there were 92,041 acres of unimproved 
land, 13,415 acres of woodland and 102,451 acres 
of unimproved lands in farms. The cash value 
of farms was $l,4'<5,.50.), and the estimated value 
of all farm productions, including additions to 
stock, etc, $l,(i59,713. The principal products 
were: Spring wheat, 147,987 bush.: winter wheat, 
80,879 bush.; liulian-corn, 9,tiiK) bush.; oats, 55,- 
910 bush.; barley, -295,452 bush.; pot's, 129,249 
bush.; wool, 27,029 lbs.; butler, 110,880 lbs., and 
liav, 33,855 tons. 

'I'he live stock had a value of $1,445,449, and 
comprLsed 7,520 horses, 990 mules. 0.174 milch 
cows, 2,4;i4 working o.xen, 22,899 other cattle, 
11,018 sheep and 3,'295 swine. 

Manii/aclurex.—T\u: last census reports 330 
manufacturing establishments, employing 1-20 
steam-engines with 0,007 horse-power and "2,859 
hands. The capital invested was $5,127,799; the 
wag(!S paid amounted to $2,49-*. 4/3. The raw 
material consumed had a value of$.0,315,9S4, and 
the products of $l5,870,5;j'.l. This sum included 
$■200,000 for reduced and refined gold anil silver ; 
$1-2,119,719 for milled quartz ; $s'94.00J for pig 
lead ; $ii4l,^2.50 for iron castings, and $432,500 for 
sawed lumber.

Railroads. — The Central Pacific R. R. passes 
through the northern ijart of the state. It enters 
Hav. at the Truckee li., follows this stream 
down to the Big Bend, thence crosses tlie desert 
to Humboldt Lake; thence follows tlie Hum- 
boldt K. to about the UStli meridian, where it 
leaves the valley of this riverand sliilces across 
the state in an K. N. E. direction to Utah Ter. 
The Virginia & Truckee K. K., connecting Vir- 
e^lnia City and Carson City witli Reno oii the 
Central I'aciflc R. II., is 51 mis. long, and has 
done mucli to develope the tliree cos. through 
■wliieli it passes, viz.: Storey, Ormsby and Wa- 
shoe. Several other roads have been projecteil. 

Wealih, Taxation and Debl.—T\\^i total amount 
Of taxable property, as shown bj' the assessment 
lists of tlie various cos., was, in 1871, $.10,901,009 ; 
and in 1872, $i-.', 879, 115, showing an increase in 
the latter year of $1,978,035. The last census re- 
port gives the true value of real and personal 
estate in 1870 at $31,134,012. 

The total receipts for the fiscal year ended on 
December 31, 187'2, amounted to $1, '284,485 in coin, 
of which $420,808 were received from the county 
treasurers for taxes, tolls, etc., and $r)UU,000 for 
the sale of state bonds. The disbursements 
"were $1,047,930, leaving a balance on hand of 
$23U,555. 

The total indebtedness of Nev. on December 
31, 1873, was $720,4.30, of which $1)00,000 were bond- 
ed, $10,660 accrued iiiterest,and $49,790 outstand- 
ing unpaitl warrants. 

i^ducaiion and Press. — The system of public 
Instruction now in operation was established in 
1861, and has thus far worked well. In 1873 there 
were 4,950 cliildrcn in the state between 6 and 18 
years of age ; the number of children enrolled 
in public schools was 3,372, and of children at- 
tending private schools, 439, leaving 1,410 chil- 
dren reported as not attending any school. The 
number of male teachers was 29 and of female 
teachers 47. The total school expenses in all 
the cos. amounted to $98,409, being $24,632 more 
than in the preceding year. 

In 1870 tliere were 12 papei'S published in the 
state, which hail a circulation of 11,300. Five of 
these papers were dailies, two semi-weeklies 
and five weeklies. 

Uovernment.-JsGY. is a part of the territory 
acquired from Mexico iii 1848. It was organized 
as a territory in 1801, and was admitted into the 
Union as a state iu 1864. 

Every male citizen of the United States, of 
the. age of 21 years and upward, who shall have 
actually resided in the state six months, and in 
the district or co. 30 days next preceding an 
election, shall be entitled to vote. 

The legislative authority is vested in the Sen- 
ate and Assembly. The members of the As- 
sembly, 3o in number, are chosen biennially for 
two years. The Senators, 18 In number, are 
chosen at the same time and places as mem- 
bers of the Assembly, for four years. The ses- 
sions of the Legislature are biennial, com- 
mencing on the first Monday of January next 
ensuing tlie election of members of the Assem- 
bly. 

The executive government consists of the 
Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of 
State, Treasurer, Comptroller, Surveyor-Gene- 
ral, anil Attorney-General, who are elected by 
the qualified electors at the time and places of 
voting for the members of the Legislature. 
They hold their offices for four years. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, District Court, and in Justices of the 
Peace. The Supreme Court consists of a Chief 
Justice and two Associate Justices, who are 
elected by the people and hold their offices for 
the term of 6 j'ears. This court Jias appellate 
jurisdiction in all cases of equity, in all cases 
at law in which is involved the title or posses- 
sion of real estate and mining claims ; and on 
questions of law in criminal cases, in which 
the case charged amounts to felony. The state 



is divided into 9 judicial districts. The District 

Judges are elected by the people for the term 

of 4 years. 

Nevada is divided into the following 13 coun- 
ties: Douglas.Elko, Esmeralda, Humboldt, Lan- 
der, Lincoln, Lyon, Nye, Ormsby, Roop, Storey, 

Washoe, and White Pine. 
The state capital is Carson Citv. 

Nevada, new co. in Ark., S. \V. part. Area, 
(>25 sq. mis. "Was formed from portions of 
Ouachita and Columbia cos. The surface ig 
rolling and ontlie whole well timbered. The 
valleys contain much excellent soil. Tlie 
Little Missouri R., a tril)utary of the Washita 
R., forms the northern boundary and drains 
the northern part of the co. with Cyjiress 
Bayou and Terre Rouge Cr. The southern 
part is drained by Bayou Badeaii and Bayou 
Dorcheat, affluents of the Red R. Mount 
Moriah is the co. seat. 

Nevada, co., in Cal., E. part. Area about 1,100 
sq. mis. Pop., 19,134 ; in 1800, 1(5,4011. Itisseparat- 
cd from Sierra co. by the Middle Fork of the 
Yuba R. and drained by the South Fork of 
the same. The surface is mountainous. The 
Sierra Nevada trends through the E. part of 
the CO. and bears pks. over 9,000 feet in ele- 
vation. The spurs and foot hills of the Sierra 
descend in height from E. to W., and are in- 
terspersed with numerous fertile valleys and 
prairies. There are several lakes in the high 
Sierra, of which Donner is the largest and 
most beautiful. Cereals, fruits and vegeta- 
bles are cultivated to a considerable extent. 
The vine thrives well on the hill-sides and 
yields abundantly. Gold mining is the prin- 
cipal occupation. The Central Pacific R. R. 
intersects the S. part of the co.. Nevada

NEW HA3IPSHIRE, one of the New Eng- 
land states ; is boundeil on the N. by Canada, 
on the E. by tlie Atlantic Ocean and by Maine, 
from which it is partly separated by the Pisca- 
taqua R., on the S. byMass., and on the W. by 
Vt., from vvhicli it is separated by the Connec- 
ticut II. It extends from 4-2° 41' to 45^ 11' K. hit., 
and from 70° 40' to 72^ '28' VV. long. Its area is 
9,280 sq. mis., or 5,93'J,200 acres. 

The sea-coast is but 18 mis. long, and termin- 
ates in the N. at the estuary of the Piseataqua 
U. Nine mis. oil" the coast are the Isles of Shoals, 
a group of 8 rocky islands, the largest of which 
contains 350 acres. 

Surface. — Along the sea-coast extends a tract 
of low and level land, some 30 mis. wide and 
partly occupied by salt marshes. Excepting this 
email tract N. H. is liilly and mountainous, as 
it forms part of that large belt of elevations 
which extends from Me. into Conn., and is di- 
vided from the Green Alountain system by the 
Connecticut 11. In the southern part of the state 
this umlulating high-land belt supports several 
lofty groups or isolatetl pks., as Mts. Monad- 
nock, Sunapee, Kearsarge, etc.; but it is in the 
northern part that it culminates in the famous 
White Mts., which in height are surpassed bytlie 
Black Mts. of N. C. only, but in grandeur of 
scenery are unapproacheil by any other chain 
of the Appalaeliian Systeih. They form a 
plateau, occupying the southern part of Coos 
CO. and the northern parts of Carroll and Graf- 
ton COS., and are deeply furrowed and rifted 
by a number of torrents, as the Ammonoosuc, 
Baker's, Pemigewasset, Swift, Saco, Ellis, Wild 
and Peabody lis. On this plateau rise lofty 
pks. either iii ranges or irregularly distributed 
In isolated summits. 

Mt. Washington, 6,288 feet above the sea, is the 
highest peak of the whole region and of the 
White Mts. proper, which form a chain between 
the head waters of the Ammonoosuc and Mount 
Washington Us. The latter is the name of the 
tipper course of the Saco. The chain extends 
N. E. and S. VV. In the part lying S. W. of Mt. 
Washington it supports Mts. Monroe, .5,384 feet ; 
Franklin, 4,!)04 feet; Pleasant, 4,764 feet ; Clin- 
ton, 4,320 feet ; Jackson and VVebster ; and 
In the part lying N. are Mounts Claj', 5,553 
feet; Ailams, 5,714 feet; Jetferson, 5,794 feet, 
a.nd Madison, 5,3iJ5 feet. Other chains, scarcely 
less elevateil, branch off from Mt. VVashing- 
lon in a southerly direction between Mount 
Washington It. and Uocky Branch, and in a 
south-easterly direction between Kocky Branch 
and Ellis li. 

The plateau which extends fromMt. Webster 
to the W., between the upper course of the Am- 
monoosuc from the East Branch of the Pemi- 
gewasset R., is crowned with Willey Jit., Twin 
Jit. and many other peaks exceeding 4,000 feet in 
height. It connects in the W. witU the Fran- 
conia Mts., a chain trending N. aiul S. between 
the East and West Branches of the Pemigewas- 
set and bearing the following peaks: Bald Mt.; 
Eagle Clifl', 3,44o feet; Mt. La Fayette, or Great 
Haystack, 5,2iX) feet, and Flume Mt., about 4,500 
feet. The valley which separates the western 
base of the Franconia Mts. from the Pi'oflle Mt. 
and Mt. Pemigewasset is traversed by the East 
40 



Branch of the Pemigewasset U. and the South 
Branch of the Ammonoosuc R. 

The White Mts. proper and the Franconia 
Mts., with the plateau intervening between the 
two ranges, constitute the principal group of 
the system, but are surrounded on all sides by 
lower chains and peaks. The whole system 
covers an area of over 800 sq. mis. The best de- 
scription of the numerous objects of interest 
which are crowded together in this narrow 
space, and ot the different routes leading to 
them. Is contained in : "New England, a Hand- 
book for Travelers," etc., pul)lished by .James R. 
Osgood, of Boston, in 1873. A very popular route 
is the one via Conway, up the Saco U. to Bartlett, 
and thence along the Ellis R. to the Glen House, 
or along the upper course of the Saco to the 
Crawford House. From both these hotels, roads 
lead toMt. Washington, theascentof whieli now 
may be made bj' a railroad completed in 1889, 
on "the plans of Sylvester Marsh. The track 
has a grade of 3,62.i feet in three mis., or of 1 
foot in 4}/,. The chief peculiarity of the track 
is a heavily notched iron center-rail, into which 
plays a center Cog-wheel on the locomotive. 
The ascent is made in 90 minutes. The usual 
route to the Franconia Mts. is from the Ammo- 
noosuc R. to the Prortle House and Flume 
House in the Pemigewasset Valley. The new 
Fabyan House and the Twin Mountain House 
are situated on tlie road leading from Bethle- 
hem up the Ammonoosuc R. to the Crawford 
House, or Ammonoosuc Station, the initial 
point of the Mt. Washington R. R. 

Jiivers and Xnfces.— The principal stream of 
N. H. is the Connecticut R., which rises in the 
north-eastern corner, and from its junction, 
with Hall's Stream forms the entire westei'it 
boundary of the state. Its principal afUuenta 
in N. H. are Perry's Stream, Indian Stream,, 
Hall's Stream, the Ammonoosuc R.j the Mink. 
R., or Lower Ammonoosuc, R., rising in the 
White Mts.jMascony R., Sugar R., which drains- 
Lake Sunapee,andAshuelot R., which intersects 
Cheshire co. and joins the Connecticut near tlie 
S. W. corner of the state. The Merrimac B. is 
formed by the confluence of the Pemigewasset 
R., which rises in the White Mts., and the Win- 
nipiseogee R., and intersects the soutliern half 
of the state from N. to S. It receives from the 
W. the Contoocook R., the Piscataquoi R. and 
the Souhegan R.;and from the E. the Suncook 
R. The Piseataqua R. is formed by the conttu- 
ence of the Salmon Falls R. anil Coclieco R., 
and forms, with the lirst-nained branch, part 
of the eastern boundary of the state. The Saco 
and Androscoggin lis., belonging chiefly to the 
neighboring state of Jle., water eastern N. H. 
Willi portions of their courses. 

The largest lake of the state is Winnipiseogee, 
or Winnepesaukce, which receives the outlet 
of Squam Lake. Ossipoe Lake lies E. of tli« 
latter, and is drained by the Ossipee R., a tribu- 
tary of the Saco. Umbagog Lake, belonging to 
the Androscoggin system, lies partly in N. 
H. Beside these larger sheets of water, this 
state has numerous smaller ones in nearly all. 
parts of its territorv. 

The CHmale of N. il. is rigid, and especially in 
the more elevated mountains are the winters 
long and very severe. The summers are mild 
and pleasant, although a teurperature of over 
100° in the shaile is not of rare occurrence. The 
mean annual temperature varies from 38° in 
Coos CO. and tlie White Mts. to 48° in the south- 
ern parts of the state. TJie rain-fall averages 
from 10 to 14 inches in summer, from 6 to 12 
inclies in winter and from 32 to 40 inches iluring 
the year. The sea-coast and the Connecticut 
Valley receive the largest amount of precipita- 
tions. 

The Vegelation of N. U. comprises magnificent 
forests of oak, pine, beech, sugar maple, birch, 
etc., which cover the mountains and the north- 
ern part of the state. Willows, poplars and

NEW JERSEY is bounded on the N. by N. 
Y., on the \V. by Pa., and on the E. bv the Hud- 
son R., the Kill van Kull, New Y'ork B., and the 
open Atlantic. The northern boundary, which 
separates N. J. from N. Y., is a straight line 
running from the junction of Neversink and 
Delaware Rs., in 21° lit' N. lat. to the W. bank 
of the Hudson K., iu 40° 59' «" N. lat. Cape May

NEW JERSEY. 



Is the southern extremity. The area is 7,576 sq. 
mis. or 4,848,040 acres. 

Hur/ace.—'i'liia state may be divided into three 
distinct sections. The nortli-western part is 
mountainous, being traversed by a broad belt 
of ridges, belonging to the Appalachian System. 
The midtlle section consists of red santlstone 
■with trap ridges, and is diversitied by gentle 
undulations. Tlie lower halt of the state, with 
its sandy soil and its forests of pine, is compar- 
atively level, and forms a part of the Atlantic 
coast plain. 

The Appalachian Mts., in N. J., may be group- 
ed into two main ranges — the Blue or Kittatin- 
ny Mts. and the Highland Kange. The first is 
a continuation of the Sliawangunk Mts. in N. V., 
and is almost an unbroken ridge from the north- 
ern boundary to the Delaware Water Gap. It 
is the culminating ground in the state, varying 
in height from 9iT to 1,800 feet. The crest is al- 
most level and every wliere covereil witli forests. 
Between the foot of this range and the Dela- 
ware there is a line of rocky liills of limestone 
and slate, rising in irregular knobs and ci'ests 
from 100 to 300 feet above tlie river. The High- 
land liange is composed of a great number of 
mountain ridges, anil occupies a belt of country 
'Z-Z mis. wide on the N. Y. state line, and 10 uds. 
wide on the Delaware II. The traveler who 
crosses this range from S. E. to N. W. passes 
over a succession of steep declivities, alternat- 
ing with low valleys. The crests rise from 300 
to bOO feet above the valleys. The principal di- 
visions of the range are Bear KortMt., VVa- 
wamla Mt., 1,450 feet liigh ; Hamburgh Mt., 
with Itulherford Hill, the highest point of the 
range, 1,488 feet high; and Tochuck Mt. (all 
near the N. VV. boundary) ; Wallkill Mt. and 
Alamuche Mt. further to the S. W.; .Jenny .Jump 
Mt., Scott Mt. and Pohatoong Mt., in Warren 
CO.; Schooley's Mt., in Morris co.; and Muscon- 
etcong Mt., near the S. W. end of the range, 986 
feet high. 

These ridges sink away with very gentle 
slopes toward the N. E., while their S. W. ter- 
minations are very abrupt. The lied Sandstone 
region extends as a broad belt along the E. base 
of the Highland Itange, and is traversed by ir- 
regularly distributed ridges of trap rock. Tlie 
principal of these are Sourland Mt., in Hunter- 
don and Somerset cos., and the Bergen Hill »nd 
Palisade Mt., in Hudsoiiand Bergen cos. Tliey 
are rough in outline, very abrupt in their de- 
scent toward the S. E. and gentle in their slope 
toward the N. W. High Point, in Passaic co., is 
the highest trap ridge of the state, and rises 8(58 
feet above the sea level. The southern half of 
N. J. is characterized by tlie absence of moun- 
tains or rocky eminences. Its rounded hills are 
all earthy. The Navasink Highlands, which 
trend along the sea-shore S. of Sandy Hook, are 
about 400 feet high. 

The marshes, which border the ocean and the 
tidal waters, form a striking feature of the state. 
They are usually covered with grass and sod, 
and their upper surface is nearly level with 
high water. Under the sod there is soft muil, 
too miry for horses and cattle to walk on. The 
entire area which they cover is about 205,474 
acres. 

Rivers, Lakes, etc.— if. J. is well watered in all 
its parts, and the abundance of its streams ren- 
ders perfect drainage very easy ; while their 
rapid fall gives them great value for their 
water-power. The Hudson K. runs along the 
E. bonier for 28 in Is., and owing to the position 
and structure of the Palisades, which rise ab- 
ruiJtly on its western bank, receives but few 
afhuents from this state. The largest is the 
Wallkill, which traverses the Ivittatinny Valley 
between the Blue Mts. and the Highland Itange 
in a N. N. E. direction, and joins tiie Hudson m 
New York. 

The Huckensack R. flows nearlj' parallel with 
the Hudsou and empties into Newark B., which 



also receives tlie Passaic R., a stream that 
drains about 800 sq. mis. The valley is almost 
closed in by the Highlands on one s'ide and the 
trap ridges on the other side. The Passaic is 
joined by Pompton llockaway and "Wippany 
Rs. The Raritan R. rises in the W. part of the 
state and empties into Raritan B., after receiv- 
ing the Millstone, Green Brook and South Rs. 
The Delaware R. forms the W. boundary of N. 
J., and drains 2,100 sq. mis. of itsarea. Its tribu- 
taries are Paulin's Kill (which diuins the S. part 
of the Kittatinny Vallev), the Pequest, Pohat- 
oong and Musconetcong"Rs., which flow through 
the smaller valleys of the Highland Range ; 
Cooper's, Mantua, Oldman's, Salem and Allo- 
way Crs., which traverse the lower part of tlie 
state. The valley of the Delaware, from Carpen- 
ter's Point to the Water Gap, runs nearly par- 
allel to the Blue Mts. The vVater Gap, where 
the river bursts through tliese mountains, is 
famous for the grandeur of its scenery. 

Thei-e are many loeautiful sheets of water in 
the N. W. part of the state. Lake Hopatcoiig, or 
Brooklyn Pond, 914 feet above tide water, lies 
on top of the Highlands, is 5i^ mis. long and 
from ^ to % of a mle. wide. The surroundings 
make it a delightful summer resort. It is 
drained by the S. branch of the Raritan R. 
Greenwood Pond, or Long Lake, is partly in N. 
Y. and partly in Passaic co. It is 8 mis. long and 
abounds in fish. Green Pond is another beau- 
tiful sheet, very near the top of Green Pond 
Mt., at 1,044 feet of elevation. The sea-coast of 
N. J. is indented by many bays. In addition to 
Delaware B. in the S., l^ewark B., Raritan B. 
and Sandy Hook B. in the N., there are consid- 
erable bodies of water lying in the tide marshes 
of the shore. They are joined by narrow pas- 
sages, and so complete is this internal connec- 
tion, that vessels of light draft can sail from the 
mouth of Metedeconk R. to Cape May without 
going outside the beach. Beginning at the N. 
there are Barnegat B., Little E^g Harbor, Abse- 
cum B., Great Egg Harbor, Peck's B., Townsend 
Sound, .larvis Sound and Cape Island Sound. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of N. J. 
is on the whole mild, being tempered by the 
ocean. The mean annual temperature varies 
from 50!^° in the N. VV. part to 56° at Cape May. 
The amount of rain and snow which falls is from 
40 inches on tlie plains to more than 50 inches 
on the highlands. N. J., when flrst settled, was 
almost entirely covered with forests, except 
the marshes on the coast, and although the state 
is densely inhabited and well cultivated, large 
parts of it are still well timbered with pine, 
cedar, oak, hickory, walnut, chestnut, poplar, 
and other trees peculiar to the latitude. 

The Population of N. .J. was, in 1790, 184,139 ; in 
1800,211,149; in 1810, 245,,502 ; in 1820, 277,426; in

were whites, 30,658 colored persons, 15 Chinese 
and 16 Indians. 

Tlie natives of the United States numbered 
717,153, of whom 575,245 were born in the state ;

64,001 were born in Germany, 2,061 in Switzer- 
land, 686 in Austria, 3.128 in France, 26,606 in 
England, 5,708 in Scotland, and 86,784 in Ireland. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
296,036 persons, viz.: 63,128 in agriculture, 83,380 
in professional and personal services, 46,206 in' 
tratle and transportation, and 103,322 in manu- 
factures, mining and mechanical industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — N. J. has much mineral 
wealth. Magnetic and other iron ores are found 
in Burlington co., near Dover, and other parts 
of the state. RiCh mines of zinc are worked 
near Franklin, Sussex co.,and immense bods of 
marl underlie tlie southern parts and yield the 
most valuable manure. In Cumberland co. oc- 
cur beds of quartz sand, which supply large 
glass factories with the necessary raw material. 

Agriculture. — The 30,652 farms of N.J. included,

the Mississippi Valley, and the culminating 
ridge of whieli is formed by the Rocky Mts. 'A 
number of cluiins of this great mountain system 
traverse the territory from N. to S., and are 
grouped along the valley of the Rio Grande on 
the K. and on the W. The Rio tirande enters 
N. Mux. from Colo. Ter., and intersects the 
northern state line near the center, traversing 
here the southern portion of the San Luis Va»- 
ley, the largest and most attractive of the great 
parks, wliich is bounded on the W. by the lofty 
San Juan Mts., and on the E. by the Sierra 
Blanca. The San Luis Valley is about 7,500 feet 
above the sea, and the mountain barriers on 
either side rear their highest peaks far into the 
regions of perpetual snow. A few miles N. of 
Santa Fe the Sierra Blanca terminates in a few 
bold blutfs, and further 8. the Rocky Mts., bor- 
dering tlie valley of the Rio Grande on the E., 
are represented by detached ranges, as the Man- 
zana Mts., Sierra Oscura or del Oso, Sierra Sole- 
dad ; ami, lastly the Sierra de los Organos, which 
terminates on the Rio Grande near El Paso. 
The Sierra delCaballo, the Fra Cnristobal Mts. 
and other lower ranges rise on tlie banks of the 
Kio Grande and are separated from those named 
above by the ilreaded "Jornada del Maorto," or 
Dead Journej', an arid sand plain in Socorro 
and Dona Ana cos. 

Still another series of ranges, the Sierra Capi- 
tana, Sierra Sacramento and the Guadalupe 
Mts. intersect the wide region between the 
Sierra Soletlad and the Pecos R. 

All that portion of the territory which lies 
W. of the Rio Grande Valley is occupied by lofty 
plateaus or mesas, detached mountain chait^s, 
and intervening desert plains. 

The Sierra San Mateo passes through Santa 
Ana CO., and the Ziini Mts. through Valencia 
CO., joining the Sierra del Datil, which inter- 
sects Socorro co. The most southern of the 
high and broken ranges VV. of the Rio Grande 
is the Sierra Mimbres, which divides this stream 
troni the head waters of the Gila. 

Rivers. — The Rio Grande is the largest river 
of the territory and intersects it from N. to S. 
Its tributaries are neither numerous nor large. 
The Rio Ghama, which ilrains the south-western 
slopes of the San Juan Mts , and tlie Rio Puerco, 
which receives the Rio San Jose, join the mam 
Stream from the VV. The Pecos R., which empties 
into the Rio Grande in Tex., has its source in 
the mountains E. of Santa Fe, Hows S. E. as far 
as Lincoln co., and then S. along the western 
borders of the Llano Estacado. The Canadian 
K. rises in the Sierra Blanca and intersects the 
north-eastern partof N. Mex. The Cimarron R., 
or Red Fork of the Arkansas, rises among the 
Raton Mts., near the northern boundary of Col- 
fax CO. 

The W. part of the territory is drained by 
ti'ibutaries of the Colorado of the West. The 
Kio San Juan, rising in the Sierra ile la Plata 
of Colo. Ter., intersects Taos co. The Rio Colo- 
rado Cliiquito or Flax R., which rises in Santa 
Ana CO., and the Gila R., which rises in the 
Sierra Luero, tiows westward into Ariz. Ter. 
The Rio de los Mimbres rises in the Mimbres 
Mts., lias a southerly course and empties into 
the Laguua de Guzman in Mexico. 

CUnuUe and Vegelaiion. — The climate greatly 
varies in ditterent portions of the territory, ac- 
cording to latituile and elevation above the sea. 
In the northern mountainous portions the win- 
ters are severe, and the mean annual temper- 
ature is less than 48°, while the valley of the 
Kio Grande enjoys mild wiuters and hot sum- 
mers and has, in its southern parts, a mean an- 
nual temperature of 00° to 04°. Few parts of 
the United States have a more arid climate 
than N. Mex., the rain fall varying from 8 inches 
in the Rio Grande Valley to ii) inches near the 
Tex. state line ; hence vegetation is by no 
means luxuriant. The bottom-lands of the 
streams support narrow belts of cottonwood. 



The uplands are either sandy plains and 
deserts, or support a growth of "grama" or 
" mesquite " grass, which dries upon the stalk, 
yielding a nutritious hay. Tlie characteristic 
plants of the desert portions of the territory 
are the mesquite bush and various species of 
cactus. 

Fopulaiion. —Tha Spanish adventurer Alvarez 
Nunez was the first to penetrate from the S. 
into the region now constituting N. Mex. in 
loao. Three years later a second journey was 
undertaken by Marco de Niza, and in 1.540 a 
third by Coroiiado. The latter crossed the Gila 
R., and beyond the Rio Grande saw the first 
bulfaloes. lii l.WS Juan de Ofiate took possessioa 
of the territory in the name of the Iving of 
Spain without, however, giving distinct boun- 
daries to the new acquisition. It remained a 
part of Mex. until 1840, when, on the outbreak 
of the war with the United States, General Kear- 
ney took possession of Santa Fe. In the treaty 
of "Guadalupe Hidalgo, which terminated the 
war, N. MfX. was ceded to the United States. 

The population consists chiefly of descendants 
of the earlv Mexican colonists and of the semi- 
civilized Pueblo Indians, who carry on farming 
antl gardening, live in villages ("pueblos"), 
and are the bitter enemies of the roving tribes. 
In 1850 N. Mex., which then included Ariz. Ter. 
and a part of Colo. Ter., had a population of 
6i,i)47; in 1800, 93,510; and in 1870 (after the or- 
ganization of the territory with its present 
limits), 91,874. Of these there were «)0,3i« white, 
172 colored, and 1,309 Indians out of tribal rela- 
tions. The Pueblo Indians numbered 19,429, and 
the nomadic tribes 5,080 (estimated). The for- 
eign-born population (5,020) included 122 natives 
of British America, 120 of England, ,543 of Ire- 
land, 582 of Germany and 3,903 of Mexico. 

Minerals and Mining.— The principal wealth 
of the territory consists in its mineral treasures. 
The Old and J^ew Placer Districts in Santa Fe 
and Bernalillo cos. embrace an extent of more 
than 200 sq. mis. and possess many rich gold 
and silver lodes. Of equal extent is the Pinos 
Altos District, in Grant co. The Cimarron 
District (400 sq. mis. large), in Colfax co., is 
supplied with water by a canal 37 mis. long. 
Here is the famous Maxwell Loilc, which has 
yielded as much as $15,000 worth of gold in one 
week. The Carson Lode, in the Manzana Mts., 
produces from $00 to $1,200 worth of gold to the 
ton of ore. In various parts of the territory 
other deposits of gold and silver have been dis- 
covered. Iron, copper and bituminous coal are 
also abundant. 

AgriciiUiire.— The arid climate renders farm- 
ing in N. Mex. impossible, except with the aid 
of irrigation. The valley of the Bio Grande 
contains nearly all the cultivated lands; but 
there are doubtless many other extensive dis- 
tricts which may be opened to the farmer by 
the construction of irrigating canals. The 
farms contained, in 1870, 143,007 acres of im- 
proved land. 100,283 acres of woodland and 584,- 
259 acres of other unimproved land. The cash 
value of farms was jj>2,2ti0,139, and the estimated 
value of all farm proiluctions, including aiidi- 
tions to stock, etc., $1,905,000. The priniucts 
were: Spring wheat, 338,930 bush.; winter wheat, 
13,892 bush.; Indian-corn, 040,823 bush.; oats, 07,- 
m) bush.; barley, 8,870 bush.; peas and beans, 
28,850 bush.; Irish pot's, 3,102 bush.; tobacco, 
8.587 lbs.; wool, 084,930 lbs.; butter, 12,912 lbs.; 
wine, 19,086 gallons ; and hay, 4,209 tons. 

The live stock had a value of $2,389,157, and 
comprised 5,033 horses, 0,141 mules and asses, 
10,417 milch cows, 19,774 working oxen, 21,343 
other cattle, 619,438 sheep, and 11,207 swine. 

Bailroad)! —a. Mex. has no railroads; but sev- 
eral companies have been incorporatetl, whose 
lines will intersect the territory and afford the 
much needed connections and means ot trans- 
portation. The Denver & Rio Grande K. R. will 
connect Denver, Colo.,with KlPaso, Mexico, and

extend alonpr the valley of the Rio Grande. The 
Southern Pacific R. R. will pass Ihiough Dona 
Ana and Grant cos. 

Weal/hand Taxalion.—The assessed valne of 
real estate in 1870 was ^9,917,991, and of personal 
propertv, $7,8(i(>.0-23. The true or'estimated value 
of both'kiuds of property was $31,349,793. The 
State taxes amounted to $34,115, and of county 
taxes to $2<!,101. 

N. Mex. has no public school system. Tlie law 
passed by the legislature in 18.5") for the estab- 
lishment of public schools, to be supported by 
taxing the real estate, was submitted to the 
people for ratification : but was defeated with 
5,01f> against 37 votes. There were 5 newspapers 
published in the territory in 1870. 

Oovernment.—N. Alex, was oi-ganized as a ter- 
ritory l)v act of Congress September 9, 1850. The 
Governor, Secretary, Superintendent of Indian 
AtTairs and Purveyor of Public Funds are ap- 
pointed bv the President by and with advice 
and consent of the Senate. Tlie Supreme Court 
consists of a Chief Justice and two Associate 
Justices, aiipointed by the President for4 years. 
This court holds one' term annually at the seat 
of the territorial government. One of the just-

NEW YORK, one of the middle states; is 
bounded on the E. liy Vt., Mass. aiul Conn.,on the 
S. by N. .1. and Pa., and on the N. W. by Canada, 
from which it is separated by Lake Erie, the 
Niagara R., Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence 
R. It is triangular in shape. One angle rests 
upon the Atlantic, another on Lake Champlain, 
while a third reaches W. to the southern shore 
of Lake Erie. The eastern boundary, from 
Canada to Staten Island, is311J^ mis. long, and 
its largest dimension from E. to W. is 412 mis. 
The state includes Long Island, which extends 
130 mis. into the Atlantic Ocean, and Staten 
Island, which separates the inner from the 
outer bay of New York. 

N. Y. has an area of 47,000 sq. mis., or 
30,080,000 acres, and lies between 40° 29' 40" and 
45^ 0' 42" N. lat., and 7P 51' and 79° 47' 25" W. 
long. 

The Sur/aceis greatly diversified and incluiles 
rolling plateaus, level'valleys and lofty moun- 
tain cfiains belonging to the great Appalacliian 
System. Two deep channels constitute the 
chief base lines of the state. The one is a some- 
what rugged valley in which lie Lake Champ- 
lain, Lake George and the Hudson R., and this 
is intersected at right angles, about midway, 
by the second, the Valley of the Mohawk. 
These deeply- grooved valleys of tlie Hudson 
and the Mohawk give to N. Y. the substantial 
advantage that it is the only state bordering 
on the Atlantic wliich conld make a commuci- 
cation between the sea-board and the great 
lakes and valleys of the interior of the conti- 
nent without liaving to evercome one or more 
mountain ridges ; and to them it largely owes 
its commanding position in the Union as the 
" Empire State.^' 

The narrow belt of country lying E. of the 
Hudson River Valley is intersected by the spurs 
of the Green and Hoosac Mts., one of whicli 
passes tlirough Dutchess and Putnam cos. anil 
terminates with bold precipices on the banks 
of the great stream opposite West Point. 

That portion of the state which lies W. of th& 
Hudson R. consistschiefly of rolling table-lands, 
gently sloping down toward the valley of the 
Mohawk R. and Lake Ontario in the N.", and to- 
ward Lake Erie in the W. It is traversed by the 
prolongations of the ranges of N. J., as the

grandeur and beauty, is the rocky gateway 
through which the Hudson R. -passes on to the 
sea, and which is commanded by the bold 
heights of Crows' Nest, Storm King, Beacon 
Hill, Bull Hill, Old Beacon and others, elevated

Catskill Mts., which sweep in a wide curve 
from the valley of the Hudson R. to the valley of 
the Mohawk R.. and attain in Kound Top, High 
Pk., Overlook Mt., llockland Mt. and others, an 
elevation of 4,00() feet and more. The lower 
range of the Helderhei'g Mts. trends parallel to 
the Catskills through Alhany co. N. of the 
valley of the Mohawk R. and \V. of Lake Cham- 
plain are the Adirondack Mts., consistiTig of 
several chains, whieli trend N. E. and S. W. and 
culminate in Mt. Marcv. (See Adirondack Mts.) 

Rivers and Lrikes. — The principal stream of 
the state is the Hudson R., which rises in the 
Adirondack Mts. and has a southerly course of 
300 mis. in length, 160 mis. of which are naviga- 
ble for the largest vessels. (See Hudson R.) 
The St. Lawrence R., which ■washes a part of 
the N. \V. l)ouniiary, receives the following tri- 
butaries from tlie state: the Oswegatchie R., 
witli Indian R., Beaver R., which drains Cran- 
berry Lake ; Grass R., Racket R., rising in 
Racket Lake ; St. Regis R. and Salmon R. Lake 
Champlain receives Saranac R., Au Sahle R. 
and Roquet R. All these streams rise in the 
Adirondack Mts. and drain the beautiful laltes 
in which these abound. 

Into Lake Ontario empty Black R. with its 
affluents, Moore R., Independence Cr. and Bea- 
ver R., the Oswego R., which is formed by the 
confluence of the Oneida and Seneca Rs., and is 
the outlet of Onei(hi, Onondaga, Skeneateles, 
Owasco, Cayuga, Seneca, Crooked and Canan- 
daigua Lakes, and the Genesee R., which rises 
in Pa., intersects N. Y. from S. to N.and drains 
Oonesus, Hemlock and Honeoye Lakes. 

The Niagara R. receives Tonawanda Cr.. and 
Lake Erie receives Cattaraugus Cr. and other 
small affluents. The S. \V. part of the state is 
drained by tlie Alleghany R. and its tributary, 
Conewango Cr., which receives the outlet of 
Chautauqua Lake. The Susquehanna R. rises 
in Otsego Lake and drains the south central 
part of N. Y., i-eoeivinghere the outlet of Schuy- 
ler Lake, the Unadilla R... Chenango II., Tiough- 
nioga R. and the Tioga R., with the Conhocton 
and Canisto Rs. The East and West Branches 
of the Delaware R., which separates N. Y. from 
Pa., intersect and drain Delaware co. 

Ciiniale and Fegfetoiton.— The climate of N. Y., 
though marked by great extremes, is on the 
whole moderate and salubrious. The Adiron- 
dack region, with its long and severe winters, 
Is the coldest part of the state, and has a mean 
annual temperature of less than 40 degrees. 
■VTho mean annual temperature in the central 
portions is from 44° to 4S°, and in the extreme 
southern, 50°. The rain-fall varies from 32 in- 
ches in the St. Lawrence V'^alley to 44 inches in 
the lower Hudson Valle.y. The interior parts 
of the state receive about 40 inches. 

N. Y. was formerly covered with forests, and 
these are still extensive, although the state is 
one of the .most densely j)opuhited and best 
cultivated in the Union. The Adirondack Mts. 
are timbered with coniferous trees and poplars. 
In the other portions the most prevalent are 
deciduous trees, as the oak (ih over 10 species), 
maple, hickory, chestnut, elm, lime, or linden, 
beach, sycamore and cedar. 

Population — N. Y. is the nineteenth state in the 
Union as regards territorial extent; but the 
first as regards population. This was, in 1870, 
4,38'2.75!), including 4,;i;i(),-J10 wliites, 52,081 colored 
persons, 430 Indians and 2'.) Chinese. The natives 
of the United States numbered 3,244,401), includ- 
ing -2,048,883 natives of the state, 38,339 of Conn., 
3,63;i of III., 1,2J:{ or Ind., l.ii.j of Kv., 5.9.S4 of Me., 
S,()7o of Md..41,0iJ-2 of Mass. 4,82.1 of Mich., 9,19*> 
of N. H., 30,041 of N. J., 7.426 of Ohio, 34,771 of 
Pa.. 6,000 of R. L, 1.328 of S. C, 36,177 of Vt., 3,612 
of Va., and 2,54i> of Wis. The foreign-born pop- 
ulation numbered 1, 138,;i")fi, of whom 78,.il0 were 
natives of British America, 1,608 of Denmark, 
2*2,273 of France, 316.>>82 of Germany, 3,028 of Ger- 
man Austria, 110,003 of England, "SiSiSOa of Ire- 



land, 27,277 of Scotland, 7,858 of Wales, 6,426 of 
Holland, 3,591 of Italy, 4,061 of Poland, 1,473 of 
Russia, .^.522 of Sweden, and 7,911 of Switzerland. 

The growth of the state has been extraor- 
dinary. In 1790 the population was 340,120; in 
1800, 589.051; in 1810. 959,049; in 1820. 1,372,111 ; in 
1830, 1,918,608; in 1840, 2,428,921; in 1850, 3,097,394; 
and in 1860, 3,880,735. 

The population of 10 years of age and more 
numbered 3,378,959, of w"hom 1,491,018 were en- 
gaged in all classes of occupations, viz.: 374,323 
in agriculture, 405,339 in professional and per- 
sonal services, 234,581 in trade and transporta- 
tion, and 476,775 in manufactures and uaechanical 
and mining industries. 

]\rinerals and Mining. — The mineral treasures 
of N. Y. are great, although they neither 
include coal nor the precious metals. Ii-on ores 
are especially abundant. Specular iron and 
liematiie occur in Columbia and Dutchess cos., 
and magnetic iron in Putnam, Orange ilncl 
Westchester cos. The xVdirondack region is also 
very rich in iron deposits. Lead occurs in 
Ulster, St. Lawrence and the cos. E. of the Hud- 
son R. The central and some of the western 
COS. yield large quantities of gypsum, wliich is 
extensively used as manure and also exported. 
Quarries of a superior marble are worked near 
Sing Sing, and other building materials, as 
sandstone, limestone and granite are found 
abundantly in various sections of the state. 
The salt springs in Onondaga, Orleans, Ene & 
Genesee cos. yield over 12,000,000 bush, annually 
of pure salt and support a prosperous industry. 
New York is rich in medicinal springs, the most 
famous of which are those of Saratoga, Balston, 
New Lebanon, Avon and Sharon. Petroleum 
is obtained in Allegany co. 

AgricitUiire.—Tliti soil of the stale greatly va- 
ries in fertility in the different portions. The 
valleys of the Hudson and Moliawk Rs.. and the 
so called "Genesee Flats" on the lower Genesee, 
are exceedinglj- productive, include the richest 
portions of New York, and produce line ci'opa 
of grain and fruits. The hilly districts and 
table-lands are best adapted to stock raising and 
dairying, while the great Adirondack region 
presents conditions of soil and climate which 
render it almost unfit for any branch of agri- 
culture, and hence it is known as the '• Wilder- 
ness." But with all these diversities New 
York may be called a fertile state ; and as its 
farmers are energetic and intelligent, paying 
great attention to scientilicagriculture, itspro- 
ductions take a high rank as regards quantity 
as well as quality. 

In 1870 the 216,2.53 farms comprised 22,190,810 
acres, or nearly 74 per cent, of the total area of 
the state. The number of acres of improved 
land was 15.627,20:i; of woodland, 5,679,870, and 
of other unimproved lanil, 883,734. The farms 
had a cash value of *1, 272,8.57. 766; of faiining im- 
plements ami machinery, $4.5,997,712. Tlie total 
value of farm productions, including additions 
to stock and implements, was $25.'S,52ti,1.5;{ ; of 
orchard products. $8,347,417, and of market gar- 
dens, $.),432,35t. The products were: Spring

Manii/aclure.i.-~ht 18<>0 .V. Y. had 22,624 manu- 
facturing establishments, and in 1870, 3u,20S, a 
number which is exceeded only by that of Pa. 
The 4,664 steam-engines had 126,107 horse-power, 
and the 9,011 water-whoels, 208,250 horae-power.

Commerce and Railroads.— ^ew York has ten 
customs districts, viz.: New York and Sag 
llarbor on thesea-coast,and Champlain, Buffalo, 
Cape Vincent, Dunkirk, Genesee, Niagara, O.s- 
wegatchie, and Oswego on the lakes anil rivers 
bordering the state. During the year ended

Acconlingto the reports of the Commissioner 
of Railroads, of March 26, 1872, there were 194 rail- 
road companies incorporated by the state (ex- 
clusive of 104 horse railroad companies). The 
total length of railroads was 4,397, and will be, 
after the completion of the lines now in the 
course of construction, 6,980 rals. The incorpo- 
rated capital amounteil to $3)2,880,210; the sub- 
scriptions paul in to $272,624,490 ; the debts, $129,- 
251,962, and the total cost of construction and

739.447 tons of freight. The following are the 
principal lines : New York Central & lludson R. 
B. R., from New York City to Buffalo, via Al- 
bany, (4U)^ mis.), with 8 lateral branches of 298J^ 
mis., and 3 leased lines ot 110^ mis., making a 
total length operated by the company of .'<5H^

Island R. R. (158 mis.); Southern Centi-al R. R., 
from Fair Haven, on Lake Ontario, to Pa. state 
line, 116 mis., etc. 

N. Y. has an extensive canal system, the prin- 
cipal artery of which is the Erie Canal, which 
extends 390 mis. along the valley of the Mohawk 
R., from Albany to Buffalo, thus making, with 
the Hudson R.. an uninterrupted water com- 
munication between New York city and Lake 
Erie. The Chemung & Chenango Canal con- 
nects the Susquehanna R. with Lake Erie and 
the Hudson R. Other lines are the Champlain 
Canal (60 nils.); the Black River Canal (91 mis.); 
the Chenango Canal (97 mis.); the Oswego Ca- 
nal (38 mis.); the Cavnga & Seneca Caiuil (23 
mis.); the Chemung Canal (23 mis.), and the 
Genesee Valley Canal (107 mis.), connecting the 
Erie Canal with the Alleghany R. Tlie total 
length of the canals is 938 nils. The expenses 
on their account were, in 1872, ,$2,,')37,164, and the 
revenues from tolls, etc., $3,107,138. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. - The assessed val- 
uation of real estate, in 1870, was $1.. 532,720,907, 
and of personal estate, .$431,280,278. The true 
value of both kinds of property was estimated 
at .$6,.500,84I,2W. Tne interest binvring debt, in 
1870, was $32,409,144, and in 1872, $25,38(),726, show- 
ing a decrease of $7,022,418. The del)ts of the- 
counties, according to the census, amounted to> 
$.50,638,784, and of the cities and towns to$76,7l9.r 
304. The total of the wliole public indebtedness 
was $1.59,80-i.2,34. The total taxation amounted, 
to $48,550,308, of which $8,720,15j were state taxes,, 
and $24,727,391 county taxes. The tax levy for 
the year 1872 amounted to 9% mills, of which b}4. 
mills were for bounty debt and canal and gen- 
eral deficiencies. Tlie total amount of taxes 
collected under this lew was $19,.5S0,882. 

Educationand Press.-Fov thtj year ended Sep- 
tember, 1872, the total receipts for school pur- 
poses were $11, 462,900, and the total expenditures 
$10,322,691, of which .$i,9.53,318 were for teach- 
ers' salaries. The state then had 11,740 school- 
hou.ses in 11,369 school districts. The number 
of children attendin'.r public .schools was 1,010,- 
242 ; normal schools. 5,6.57, and private schools, 
131,519. The fact that, since 1^0, nearly $100,000,- 
000 have been expended for the public schools, 
clearly testifies to the great interest taken ini 
them by the people. 

There are eight normal schools for ths train- 
ing of teachers in the state, viz.: at Albany,. 
Oswego, Brockport, Cortland, Fredonia, Pots- 
dam, Buffalo and Genesee. The number of 
higher educational instiLutions is very large, 
and includes Columbia College, University of 
New York, Manhattan College and Rutger.s 
College for female students— all in New York 
city ; Cornell Uiiivei-sity at Ithaca, the St. Law- 
rence University at Canton, the Alfred Uniye)> 
sity at Alfred, "Hamilton College at Clinton, 
the University of Rochester, Elraira Female 
College ; Vassar College for young ladies, near 
Pou2:hkeepsie ; Inghaia. University at Lo Roy, 
the Baker Collegiate Institute at Brooklyn, and 
the celebrated Collegiate and Polytechnic In- 
stitute also at Brooklyn. The 22 higher institu- 
tions, exclusive of the'profossional schools, had,^ 
in 1871, 3,207 pupils and 303 instructors. There 
were turther, 36 medical schools, 11 theological 
seminaries ando law schools. The 232 academies 
had nearly 30,000- pupils and 1,061 instructors. 
An agricaitural college is connected with Cor- 
nell University, a polytechnic department with 
the University of New York, and a mining 
school with Columbia College.

Oovernrnenl. — Hendrick Hudson, an English 
navigator, in the service of the Dutch East In- 
•dia (Jompany, was the first European who (in 
1609) entered the Bay of New York and explor- 
•ed the river now bearing his name. Pour years 
later the Dutch established trading posts on 
Manhattiin Island and below Albany. In 1(514 
■.the colony received the name of " New Nether- 
lands," hilt, in l()t)4, the Duke of York appeared 
with a squadron before New Amsterdam and 
demandetl its suri'ender. Governor Stuyvesant 
had to yield, and the colony received the name 
'Of New" York. The Dutch retook it in 1673 ; but 
in the following year it was finally ceded to the 
English by the treaty of Westminster. 

N. V. is one of the original 13 states of the 
Union; framed a constitution in 1777, and rati- 
fied the United States constitution July 2(j, 1788. 
The state constitution has been amended sev- 
eral times. Tlu! constitution framed by the 
•convention in session from June to October, 
184f), was ratified at the general election in No- 
vcmbtu- following. In 18(1(5 the measure of hold- 
ing a convention was approved by the peoijle ;

mis. Harlem R. and Spuyten Duyvll Cr. sepa- 
rate it from the main land. The former joins 
the East 11. opposite Wards' Island ; t he lat- 
ter empties into tlie Hudson R. The southern 
part of New York forms a triangle, which ter- 
minates in the S. W. with the Battery, at the 
junction of the Hudson and East Rs. New 
York U. extends from the Battery to the Nar- 
rows hetween Long Island and Staten Island, 
is from 5IJ to 60 feet deep and from 1 toS^Xmls. 
■wide. Randall's, Wards' and Blackwelrs is- 
lands in the East R., and Bedloe's, Ellis' and 
Governor's islands in the bay, belong to tlie 
city. On the three last named are the United 
States forts — AVood, Ellis, Castle William and 
Columbus. The strait ki\own as the " Nar- 
rows," 1-1 mis. S. of the Battery, connects New 
York B., or the " Upper B.," with the " Lower 
B.," the entrance to which is between Sandy 
Hook and Uoney Island. The Narrows are 
defended by Forts Lafayette and Hamilton on 
Long Island and Tompkins and Richmond on 
Staten Island. 

The city is compactly built for 5 to 6 mis. 
above the Battery, and beyond is occupied by 
handsome villas and the imposing structures 
of several charital)le institutions. Below 
Fourteenth Street it is somewhat irregularly 
laid out ; but above this line straight parallel 
streets extend from river to river, and are 
intersected at right angles by 16 wide avenues 
running N. and'S. 

The Battery is a park lOJ^ acres large, with 
lawns and line shade trees, and is situated at 
the southern extremity of the island. The 
water front is secured by a sea-wall, and from 
the broad promenade above admirable views 
are had of the bay with its shipping, steam- 
boats and ferries'. The round structure on 
the Battery known as " Castle Garden" was 
built in 1807 for a fort, but became afterward 
an opera and concert house, and is now used 
as a depot for immigrants, who are here re- 
ceived from their ships. White Hall Street 
extends from the Barge ollice, on the E. of 
the Battery, northward to Bowling Green, a 
small park of considerable historical interest, 
and from this runs the grand avenue, the 
famous "Broadway," due N. to Tenth Street, 
and thence N. N. W. to Central Park. It is 
the princip.al business street of the city, 
and with its magnificent stores and business 
houses, its palatial hotels and banking houses, 
Its throngs of omnibuses and handsome equi-, 
pages, its leisurely "flaneurs" and eager busi- 
ness crowds, presents a more animated and 
brilliant picture than any other thoroughfare 
in the world. A short distance above Bowl- 
ing Green is Trinity Church, a noble Gothic 
brown-stone building, with a spire 2f4 feet 
high, and standing in the venerable grave- 
yard in which are buried manj- men of his- 
toric fame. 

Wall Street, running E. from Trinity Church, 
is the financial center of the country, the re- 
sort of the bankers and brokers. Here is the 
stately United States Sub-treasury, on the 
site of the hall where Washington was inau- 
gurated first Pi'esident of the United States 
in 1789. Further down the street is the United 
States Custom House, a massive marble and 
granite structure, which was originallj' built 
for a merchants' exchange. Broad Street 
leads off from Wall Street (opposite the Trea- 
s\iry) and contains the beautiful buildings of 
the Stock Exchange and Gold Exchange. 

Returning to and going up Broadway, we 
pass the colossal pile of the Equitable Life In- 
surance Company, crowned by a clock tower 
and a weather leiegraph ; the "marble palace 
of tlie "New York Herald," and the '-Park 
Bank," built in the Florentine Renaissance 
style. On the W. side is the '' Astor House," 
the oldest of the grand hotels in the country, 
and still holding Its rank as one of the best. 



Park Row here stretches off from Broad- 
way obliquely to the N. E. It is lined with the 
buildings of the great daily papers, the " Tri- 
bune," " Times," " Staats Zeitung" (German), 
"World," "Sun," and others of less renown, 
while in the vicinity are those of the fore- 
most weeklies of the country, the "Nation," 
the " Independent," the "Christian Union," 
etc. 

The triangular space between Broadway 
and Park Row forms the " City Hall Park," 
at the southern end of which stands the new 
United States Post-office, one of the most sub- 
stantial and magnificent structures in the 
country. It is built of granite in the Renais- 
sance style, fire-proof throughout, and lias a 
frontage on Broadway of 340 feet. The City 
Hall is a white marble l)uilding, '216 feet long 
and 105 feet wide, ornamented with pilastcsrs 
and crowned by a clock towel'. Near it, and 
at the northern front of the Park on Cham- 
bers Street, stands the new Court House, 'iiO 
feet long and built of white marble, a truly 
palatial edifice, with a highly ornamented 
Corinthian vestibule. Op)iosite the Court, 
House is the great marble building devoted 
to A. T. Stewart's wholesale business. Pass- 
ing up Broadway we find it lined on either 
side with immense and costly structures, the 
most prominent of which only can be men- 
tioned here, as the New York Life Insurance 
Company, with its Ionic portico ; the vast St. 
Nicholas Hotel, of white marble ; the Metropo- 
litan Hotel, of brownstone ; the lofty Grand 
Central, with eight stories and louvre domes ; 
the great retail houses, with their brilliant 
show windows ; the theaters, museums and 
- other pleasure resorts. The entire block be- 
tween Broadway, Ninth and Tenth Streets 
and 1^'ourth Avenue, is occupied by the colos- 
sal iron building of A. T. Stewart's retail store, 
and on the opposite comer stands the Epis- 
copal " Grace Church," the house of worship 
for one of the most fashionable congregations 
of the city. Further N. is Fourteenth Street, 
running from river to river, with the Acade- 
my of Music, Stein way's Music Hall, the Ger- 
mania Theatre, and other places of amuse- 
ment, and bounding Union Square, which is 
surrounded by hotels, and fine stores, as Tiffa- 
ny's great iewelry establishment. One block 
E. of Union Square is the Westminster Hotel, 
one of the finest and most aristocratic in the 
city. Following Broadway to Twenty-third 
Street, Madison Square is reached, with the 
famous Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Albeniiirle 
Hotel, the Hoffman House, and on the oppo- 
site side the highly ornate Union League Club. 
On the W. side of Madison Square, Broadway 
is intersected by Fifth Avenue, containing 
more costly and palatial mansions than any 
other street in the world, foremost among 
which is the great marble dwelling of A. T. 
Stewart, a palace princely iu extent and mag- 
nificence. 

The Bowery, E. of Broadway and nearly 
parallel, connects with Fourth Avenue in the 
N. and through Chatham Street with Park 
Row in the S., and contains many large but 
less pretentious retail stores, banks, hotels, 
saloons and places of amusement. The block 
between Seventh and Eighth Streets and Third 
and Fourth Avenues is occupied by the Coop- 
er Institute, founded and liberally endowed 
bv the great philanthropist Peter Cooper. It 
contains a library, a free reading-room, with 
the leading periodicals of the world, and 
rooms in wliich courses of lectures and spe- 
cial studies are given. Close by are the Mer- 
cantile Library (150,000volnmes), in theold As- 
tor Place Opera House ; the Astor Library, 
in a large Romanesque building, in Lafayette 
Place (150,000 volumes) ; the "Bible House," the 
property of the American Bible Society,which 
issues vast numbers of Bibles (9,000,000 since

with reservoirs of Croton water. The carriage 
roads have a total length of I.t nils., the bridle 
paths of 8 mis. and the walks of '25 mis. The 
<lesign of Fred. L. Olmsted has, in the main, 
been carried out, and the pai'k is now to be 
classed amon^ the most beautiful in the world. 

New York has over 350 churches, many of 
which are very line and sumptuous buildings. 
The Cathedral of St. Paul (Roman Catholic), 
in gothic style, was commenced in 18.')8. and 
will be the grandest church edifice in the 
country. It occupies the highest point on 
Fifth Avenue, and the front will be flanked 
by two towers 328 feet high. St. George's 
Church (Episcopal), an elegant Romanesque 
building, on Stuy vesant Square, has a beauti- 
ful front with tvvin towers 245 feet high. The 
Cliurch of All Saints (Methodist), in Byzan- 
tine architecture, has a fine cupola and Is 
budt of alternate layers of brick and white 
marble. On the corner of Fifth Avenue and 
Forty-Thirtl Streets is the Jewish Temple 
Emmanuel, the chief of the 27 synagogues of 
the city. It has a most superbly decoratiid in- 
terior, designed alter the Moorish palace, Al- 
liainbra, in Spain. 

New York is supplied with water by the 
Croton Aqueduct, which brings the water 
from Croton R. (over 40 mis. distant) to the 
reservoirs in Central Park and on Fifth 
Avenue. The original cost of this great work 
was $l>,000,000.

Population. — The first settlement on Man- 
hattan Island was made by Hendrick Chris- 
tiansun in l(il3. At the clo.se of the following 
year the future metroyiolis consisted of a 
small fort on the site of the present Bowling 
Green, and four houses, and was known as 
New Amsterdam. In 16()4 it was surrendered

Britlge Division of the New York Central R. 
B., and the IJutfalo and Suspension Bridge 
Division of tlie Erie R. II., at the Falls of 
Niaf^ara, 20 mis. N. of Buffalo. Its impor- 
tance is due to the wonderfiU natural attrac- 
tions of the spot aad vicinage, chief among 
•which are the Falls of the river, 157 feet in 
perpendicular height, with a total width of 
2,800 feet, and au estimated depth of '20 feet of 
■water on the verge. They are 20 mis. helow 
the exit of the R. from Lake Erieandl4above 
Its entrance into Lake Ontario. The rapids 
extend back^ of a mle. from the crest, and 
have a fall ot 51 feet in that distance. Goat 
Island, 14 of a mle. wide and i^ a inle. long, 
extend-s to the brow of the precipice and 
divides the falls into two portions, that on 
the American side (the American Falls) being 
1(54 feet high and 900 feet wide, while that on the 
Canadianside ( the Horseshoe Falls, from their 
curvilinear shape,) is 150 feet high and 1,900 
feet across. The .American Falts are again 
divided unequally near the precipice by Iris Is- 
land, leaving the greater quantity of water 
next the New York shore. The Falls are sur- 
rounded by objects of interest and surprise, 
as tlie many JDicturesque islands above, tlie 
weird chasms and caves beneatli, tlie deep 
canon and mighty whirlpool below, and the 
fibrous bridges that span the writliing waters 
at giddy heiglits. The village contains sev- 
eral tine hotels and has a resident poprrlation 
of 3,00:;, and one newspaper. 

Niag'ara River connects the E. end of Lake 
Erie with Lake Ontario, and separates the 
state of New York from the Canadian Pro- 
vince of Ontario. Its course is short (34 mis.), 
but it carries an immense amount of water, 
and as Lake Ontario is 334 feet lower than Lake 
Erie, iC forms the world renowned Niagara 
Falls. (See precedingarticle.) Of the islands 
In it, the following belong to New York :

NORTH CAROLINA, one of the 13 original 
states ; lies between 33° 53' and S'o° 3.3' N. hit , 
and 7.j° '2.y and 84° 30' W. long. It Is bounded 
on the N. by Va., on the W. by Tenn., on the S. 
by S. C. and Ga., and on the E. by the Atlantic 
Ocean. The greatest width from N. to S. is 180 
mis.; the greatest length from E. to W. 4S0 mis., 
and the area .'>0,701 scj. mis. or 32,450,500 acres. 

Surface. — N. C. may be divided into four dis- 
tinct natural sections or belts, viz.: the Tide 
Water Country, the Middle Country, the Pied- 
mont District, and the Blue llidge Country. The 
Tide Water Country extends from the coast 
inland for from (JO to 80 mis., is low and lev(!l, 
and includes large areas of swamps, of which 
the Little Dismal Swamp (occupying the penin- 
sula between Alb(!marle and Painlico Sounds), 
the southern part of the Dismal Swamp (pro- 
jecting into the state from Va.), the Holly Shel- 
ter Swamp, and Green Swamp, are the largest. 
The a.ggregate area of the swamps is estimated 
at 3,00(1,000 acres, and as they and their bortlers 
produce line pine, oak and cypress timber, they 
possess unusual economic value. Albemarle 
and Pamlico Sounds are separatea from the 
Ocean by a line of low .sandy islands, extending 
from the Virginia state line in a southerly di- 
rection toCapeHatteras, and thence in a south- 
westerly direction to Cape Lookout. 

The Middle Country, which occupies the 
largest part of the state, is separated from the 
Tide Water Country by a line of rocky bluffs, 
from 100 to 200 feet above the latter, and con- 
sists of a gcntlj- undulating plain, rarely rising 
into liMly eminences. 

The Piedmont Districtextends along thcbase 
of the Blue Ui<lgc, and is from 20 to 30 mis. 
■wide. It has a broken surface, rises from 1,000 
to 2,fX)0 feetabove thesea-lcvel, and is traversed 
by low ranges of mountains and hills, some of 
Which are connected with the Blue Ridge. 

1 he western part of the state forms the Blue 
Riilge Country, and is oecupieil by two lofty 
mountain ranges, with intermediate ridges and 
valleys b(!longiiig to the great Appalachian 
System. The Blue Ridge inter.sects the state in 
a general N . li. and S. W. direction, and nearly 



parallel with it trends tlie great Unalca Chain, 
separating the state from Tenn., and bearing 
the local names of Stone Mts., Iron Mts., Bald 
Mts., Great Smoky Mts., and Unaka Mts. A 
number of high transverse ranges branch olf 
from the Blue Ridge, and; trending mostly N. 
W., connect with the Unaka Chain, dividing the 
belt of country between the two ranges into a 
series of basins, which are drained by the 
sources and head waters of rivers joining the 
Tennes.see and Ohio. In the S. W. corner of tlie 
state is the basin of the Hiawassee R., hemmed 
in by the transverse ranges of the Stansburv 
Mts. in the S. W. and the Valley River Mts. and 
Long Ridge in the N. E. Then follows the 
b.isin of the Little Tennessee, which extends 
from the Valley River Mts. to the Balsam Mts., 
and is subdivided by the Nantahela and Cowee 
Mts. into the valleys of the uppei- course of the 
Little Tenn<!ssee and its tributaries, the Nan- 
tahela and Tuckaseegee Rs. The next basin is 
that of the Big Pigeon II, which lies between 
the Balsam Mts. and the long chain of the Pisgali 
and the Newfound Mts., and to the fi. of it 
extends the large basin of the French Broad 
R., which is bounded on the S. and E. by the 
Blue Ridge, on the N. W. by the Great Smoky 
and Bald Mts., and on the W. by the Newfound 
and Pisgah Mts. The north-west branch ot the 
Black Mt.s. and its continuation to the Bald 
Mts. separates the basin of the French Broad 
from the basin of the NoUechucky R., while the 
eastern branch of the Black Mts., crowned 
with the culminating peaks of the entire 
Appalachian .Syst^'iii, projects into tliis basin 
fi'om the S. The lofty transverse range of the 
Big Yellow Mts. extends from the Grandfather 
Mt. in the Blue Ridge to the Ro.an Mt. in the 
Iron Range, and separates the basins of the 
NoUeeliucky and the Watauga Rs. The last 
basin of the Blue Ridge Country is that of the 
New R. (the upper course of the Great Kana- 
wha), which extends far into Va. 

These basins have a mean elevation above the 
sea of from 2,000 feet to 2,700 feet. The Blue 
Ridge frequently changes its direction and is 
composed of many groups, some of which ex- 
ceed 5,000 feet in elevation, while in the long in- 
tervals of depression between these groups are 
found gaps whose height ranges from 2,20'J feet 
to 3.700 feet, often but little above the interior 
basins. The great Unaka Chain is more con- 
tinuous than the Blue Ridge, more elevated and 
more regular in its direction, but it is broken 
by deep rents, through which burst the tribu- 
taries of the Tennessee above named. Its height 
varies from 5,000 feet to 6,700 feet, and of equal 
height are the transverse ranges, which sepa- 
rate the basins. The following are the pi-inoi- 
pal peaks, with their elevation above the sea: 
In the Blue Ridge: Ctesar's Head, Table Mt., 
4,000 feet; Sugarloaf Mt.; Gray Beard, 5,4.')3 feet ; 
Rocky Knobs, .5,311 feet; High Pinnacle, .5,701 
feet ; "Grandfather, .5.807 feet, and Grandmother, 
5,787 feet; ami in the Unaka Range : Great Smoky 
Mt.,(i,fi(iO feet; Bald Spot, 5.5'iO feet; Roan Mt., 
t>,3(K) feet, and White Top, 5..530 feet. 

Rivers.— The Blue Ridge forms the water-shed 
between the streams joining the Tennessee and 
the streams emptying into the .Vtlantic Ocean. 
The Pasquotank, "Chowan and Roanoke Rs. en- 
ter the state from Va. and empty into Albe- 
marle Sound. The Tar and Neuse Rs. empty 
into Pamlico Sound. Cape Fear R., whose 
branches. Haw and Deep Rs., intersect the Mid- 
dle Country and join near H.iywood, in Chat- 
ham CO., empties through a wule estuary oppo- 
site Smith's Island. The Yadkin rises" in the 
Bine Ridge, traverses the Jliddle Country and 
flows into S. C. The Catawba and Broad Rs., 
two branches of the Santei! R., belong, with 
their upper courses, to this state. 

Camale and Vegelnlion. — The climate of the 
south-eastern part of the state, embracing more 
than half its urea, is very warm and has a mean 



NORTH CAKOLINA.

NORTH CAROLINA. 



annual temperature of from 60 to 61 fletjreos. 
In the Piedmont District this temperature is 
52 degre(!S, uud in tlie liigUer part of tlie lilue 
Bid|t;e Country 48 degrees. 

Tlie amount of rain which falls is from 42 to 
44 inches in the Tide Water Counti-y and the 
western parts of the state, and from 44 to 48 
inches in tlie Middle Country. 

N. C. belongs to the great forest region of the 
continent, but the vegetation ditlcrs considera- 
bly in the dilferent belts above described. The 
Tide Water Country, with its sandy soil, is cov- 
ered with extensive forests of tlie southern 
pines (Pinus Australis and Piuns Palnstries), 
which yield large quantities of turpentine, the 
great staple article of the state. The forests of 
the elevated portions of N. C. consist chielly 
of the deciduous trees of the more northern 
parts of the Union, and the highest crests of 
the mountain ranges are covered with the bal- 
sam tirs, northern pines and other coniferous 
trees. 

Population.— The population of N. C. was, in 
1793, 3!«,7iJl; in 18()0, 47S.1U3; in 1810, 5o5,500 ; in 
18-20, G38,!?'-20; in 1830, 737,987; in 1840, 753,419; in 
1850, 8(19,039; in 18(J0, 99.>,()22, and in 1870, 1,071,361, 
of whom 678,470 were white, 391,050 colored and 
1,241 Indian. 

The great majority of the inhabitants were 
natives of the state, viz.: 1,028,678. The natives 
of other states of the Union numbered 39,634, 
and of foreign countries only 3,029. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
351,299, viz.: In agriculture, 269,238; in profes- 
sionaland personal services, .51,290; in tradeand 
transportation, 10,179, and in inanufactures, me- 
chanical and mining industries. 2(t,,V,)2. 

Minerals and Mining. — The mineral resources 
of the state are considerable, but thus far have 
not been fully developed. Gold occurs in num- 
erous localities of the Middle and Piedmont 
Countries, and has been mined for the last .30 
years with increasing succt^ss. The Gold Hill 
mines, in'-Rowan co., have yielded about $2,000,- 
000 since they were lirst opened, 20 years ago. 
In 1803 a piece of gold weighing 28 lbs. was found 
in the Rod Mine of Cabarrus co. Far more im- 
portant than the precious metals, however, are 
iron and coal, which abound in the valleys of 
the Deep and Dan Us. Coal mc^asuros, exceed- 
ing 30 mis. in length, have been discovered in 
Chatham and Moore cos., and others in Stokes 
and lloclvingham cos. The coal is bituminous 
and of good quality. Graphite is found in 
Wake CO. Copper ore has been discovered in 
several localities, and is largely mined in Guil- 
ford CO. Steatite or soapstone abounds in the 
central counties. 

AgricuUure. — N. C. is on the whole a fertile 
State. With the exception of the swamps and 
sand barrens of the E., and the high and broken 
mountains of the W., tlie soil in throughout 
productive and along the river bottoms ex- 
ceedingly rich. 

The 93,"565 farms of N. C, in 1870, comprised a 
total area of 19,s:j5,110 acres, of which .5,2,58,742 
were improved, 12,026,894 acres woodland, and 
the i-emainder unimproved. The cash value of 
fai-ms was $78,211, 0.s;5 ; of faim implements, $4,- 
082,111. The total amount of wages paid during 
the year was !SS,342,85:i. and the value of farm 
productions, including additions to stock, etc., 
$57,845,940. 

The principal products were spring wheat, 
40.5,238 bush.; winter wheat, 2,454,641 bush.; rye, 
352 006 bush.; Indian-corn, 18,454,215 bush.; oats, 
3,220,105 bush.; Irish pot's, 738,803 bush.; sweet 
pot's, 3,071,840 bush.; cotton, 144,935 bales; rice, 
2,059,281 lbs.; tobacco, 11,150,087 lbs.; wool, 799,- 
667 lbs.; butter, 4,297,8:54 lbs., and hay, 8;},.540 tons. 

The live stock of the state had a value or$21,- 
09:i,967, and comprised 102,7()3 horses, 50,684 mules 
and asses, 196,731 milch cows, 4.5,408 working 
oxen, 279,023 other cattle, 463,435 sheep and 1,075,- 
215 swine. 



Manufaclures. — The number of manufactur- 
ing establishments in 1870 was 3,642 ; which used 
306 steam-engines of 6,941 horse-power, and 1,825 
water-wheels of 26,211 horse-power; and era- 
ployed 13,622 hands, of whom 11,339 were males.

OHIO, one of the states of the INIississippl 
Valley; is bounded on the X. by Mich, and 
LakeTSric ; on the W. by Ind. on the S. and S. 
E. by the Ohio R., which separates it from Ky. 
and W. Va,, and on the E. by Pa. It extends 
from 38° 25' to 42° JST. hit. (a distance of about 
210 mis.), and from 80° 28' to 84° 42' W. long, (a 
distance of about 220 mis.) The area is 39,964 sq. 
mis., or 25,576,960 acres. 

Surface. — Ohio has no elevations that could be 
termed mountains, but it is far from being a 
level plain. With the exception of the north- 
western part, it is a table-land, having a mean 
elevation above the sea of 1,000 feet, the inequal- 
ities of which are the result of the erosion or 
excavation of valleys and ravines by streams 
of water. A ridge or rather a swell of the 
ground forms the divide between the waters 
flowing N. into Lake Erie and those flowing S. 
into the Ohio R. Near the 40th parallel extends 
a belt of hills from E. to W. through the middle 
of the state, abounding in highly picturesque 
scenery. Toward the S. the valleys cut out by 
the streams grow deeper and deeper, until they 
reach the vaUey of the Ohio R., which is several 
hundred feet below the general level of the 
state. The surface of that part of the state 
which lies N. of the water-shed is generally 
level, and has a gentle inclination toward the 
lake. 

Bivers.—The piincipal stream of the state is 
the Ohio, which sweeps along its southern 
boundary in a wide meandering curve. Where 
it flrst touches the state it has a width of 360 
yards ; but increases to a width of 600 yards at 
Cincinnati. Its current is gentle, exceeding 3 
mis. per hour only during the stages of high 
water. It drains with its tributaries the larger 
portion of the state. The following are the 
most important: the Mahoning R., which tra- 
verses Portage, Trumbull and Mahoning cos., 
and joins the Ohio in Pa.; the Muskingum, 
which is formed by the Walhonding and Tus- 
carawas Rs. and is navigable from its mouth at 
Marietta to Dresden ; the Scioto, which rises in 
Hardin co., flows S. E. to Columbus, where it is 
joined by the Olentangy, or Whetstone R., and 
enters the Ohio at Portsmouth ; the Little 
Miami R., and the Great Miami R., which rises 
in Hardin co., and flowing S. W. passes Troy, 
Dayton and Hamilton ; it is navigable for about 
75 liils. 

Lake Erie forms three-fourths of the north- 
ern boundary and drains the portion of the 
state lying N". of a line drawn from the N. E. 
corner to the intersection of the 40th parallel 
with the western boundary. The chief rivers 
emptying into the Lake are the Maumee, San- 
dusky, iTuron, Vermillion, Black, Rocky, Cuya- 
hoga, Chagrin, Grand, Ashtabula and Conneaut 
Rs. The Maumee enters the state from Ind. 
and flows through the N. VV. part for about 80 
mis. It is navigable from Toledo to Perrysburg 
(18 mis.); but in high stages of water steamers 
ascend as far as Defiance, 60 mis. above Toledo. 
Climate and Vegetoiion.~T\\e climate of Ohio 
is mild and salubrious. The mean annual tem- 
perature is about 50° in the northern tier of 
counties; 51° in the central part of the state and 
54° in the most southerly parts, along the banks 
of the Ohio R. The changes of temperature, 
however, are often abrupt and sudden, a cli- 
matic peculiarity which Ohio shares with the 
other states between the Alleghany and the 
Rocky Mts. The rain and snow-lall varies tiom 
36 inches annually along the shore ot Lake Erie 
to 42 inches in the miildle districts, and to 48 
inches in the southern corner, including Brown, 
Clermont and Hamilton cos. 

Ohio was lornierlv covered with almost un- 
broken forest of deciduous trees, consisting of

oak, walnut, hickoi-y, maple, elm, ash, chest- 
nut ('• buck-eye"), poplarand other trees; but 
they have been cleared to a great extent, and ia 
many parts of the .state timber is scarce. 

Populalion. — The first permanent settlement 
in Ohio was made in 1788, at Marietta, by a com- 
pany from New England. The second Settle- 
ment was made in the same year at Columbia, 
near the mouth of the Little Miami R., and in 
the ifcxt year Cincinnati was founded. The 
" Virginia Military Reservation" between the 
Scioto and Little Miami Rs., was settled by 
revolutionary veterans and others from Va., 
and the " Connecticut Reserve," in the N. K. 
part of the state, attracted many citizens from 
Connecticut, who made their homes along the 
shore of Lake Erie. Before the close of 1798 
eight counties had been organized, and the 
white male inhabitants numbered over 5,000. 

In ISOO the population was «,365 ; in 1810, 230,- 
760 ; in IS-.'O, SSI,-.".).-) ; in 1830, 937,903 ; in 1840, 1,519,- 
4(i7; in 1850, 1,980,329 : in 1800, 2,339,511, and in 1870, 
2.6ii5,2()0, of whom 2,292,767 were natives of the 
United States, including 1,813,069 natives of the 
state, and 372,193 natives of foreign countries. 
Of these 12,725 were born in British America, 
3,69'.) in Austria proper, 12,778 in France, 182,889 in 
Germany 36,561 in England, 82,074 in Ireland, 
7,819 in Scotland, 12,939 in Wales and 12,727 iu 
Switzerland. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
was 1,953,374, of whom &t0,889 Avere engaged in 
all classes of occupations, viz.: 397,024 in agri- 
culture, 16.'<,308 in professional and personal ser- 
vices, 78,547 in trade and transportation, and 
197,010 in manufactures, mechanical and mining 
industries. 

MineralH and Mining. — The mineral wealth of 
the state consists principally in the vast extent 
of its productive coal measures, being part of 
the great Appalachian coal-field ; and in the in- 
exhaustible deposits of exctdlent iron ores. 
Tuscarawas co. alone, it is estimated, possesses 
80,000 millions of bushels of the best bitumin- 
ous coal. The annual product of the state, 
since 1860, amounts to about 60,000,000 bush. 
The deposits of iron ores extend through an 
area of about 12,000 sii. mis. in the southern 
part of the state, and are mined chiefly in the 
COS. of Lawrence, Gallia, Jackson, Meigs, Vin- 
ton, Athen.s, Hocking, Perry and Licking. In 
1870 the production in these counties amounteil 
to 20S,746 tons. Salt is also extensively mined, 
the annual product being about 2,000,000 bush. 
Petroleum is obtained in Washington, Athens, 
Morgan and Noble cos. The Cleveland refin- 
eries turned out in 1870 a million of barrels of 
pure coal oil. In various parts of the state oc- 
cur dei)osits of excellent cement, building 
stones and grinilstones, which were quarried in 
1870 to the amount of 125,000 tons. Burr or mill 
stones of a very superior quality are obtained 
in Jackson and Muskingum cos. 

Agriculture. — Ohio possesses a productive soil 
throughout its whole extent. The area of un- 
cultivable land is very limited, while the river 
valleys, especially the bottoms of the Scioto 
ami Miami, are unsurpassed iii fertility by any 
portion of the Union. 

The north-eastern part of the state, known as 
the ■' Western Ueserve," including 12 counties 
and extending for 120 miles along the coast of 
Lake Erie, is the great dairy region, and pro- 
duces large quantities of butter and cheese. 
Sheep-growing is the preeminent pursuit of the 
farmers in the S. E. part. The broad belt lying 
across the state from E. to \V., to the N. of the 
center, is the principal wheat district, while the 
central portion, to the S. and W. of Columbus, 
is especially_the regidn for beef cattle. The S. 
sliore of Lalie Erie is noted for fruit. Apples, 
peaches and especially grapes are here cultivat- 
ed with great success ; the great body of water 
equalizing the temperature and preventing late 
frosts iu spring and early frosts in autumu. 



In 1870 Ohio had 195,953 farms with a total area 
of 21,702,420 acres, of which 14,469,1.33 (or ,5fi'^ per 
cent, of the area of the state) were under cul- 
tivation; 6,883,.575 acres were woodland and the 
remainder of 259,712 acres were uncultivated. 
The total value of farms was $1,054,465,226 ; of the 
farm implements, $25,692,787, and of the produc- 
tions, including additions to stock, etc., ^\\)S,- 
256,907. The chief products were: Spring wheat, 
256,400 bush.; winter wheat, 27,62.% 750 bush.; rj'e, 
846,890 bush.; Indian-corn, 67,.50l,144 bush.; oats,

654,390 milch cows, 23,606 working oxen, 758,221 
other cattle, 4,92S,635 sheep and 1,728,968 swine. 

Manufactures. — The manufacturing indus- 
try of Ohio has more than double<l during 
the last census decade. In 1860 the numbi^r ot 
establishments was 11,123; the capital invest- 
ed, $57,295,303, and the value of products, .$69,- 
800,270. In 1870 the establishments numbered 
22,773, using 4,586 steam-engines, of 129,577 horse- 
power, and 2,157 water-wheels, of 44,746 horse- 
power. There were employed 137.202 hands, 
and wages paid were $49,066,486. The capital 
invested was $141,923,964; tlie materials con- 
sumed had a value of $157,131,097, and the pro- 
duets a value of $269,713,610. Tiie principal pro-

Commerce and Railroads. — The commerce of 
Ohio is facilitated by a very complete net of 
railroads, several canals and the navigable 
waters. In the year ended June 30, 1871, there 
were imported into the four customs districts 
of the state (Cuyahoga or Cleveland, Sandusky, 
Toledo and Cincinnati), from foreign countries, 
goodH to the value of $3,314,378, which yielded 
$209,737 dutit.'S. The direct exportation amount- 
ed to $1,743,843. The vessels owned within the 
state numbered 1,148, of 164,266 tons burden. 

The mileage of railroads was, in 1872, 5,369 mis. 
against 4,598 in 1870; 2,598 in 1860; 1,240 in 1850, 
an<l 754 in 1841. The following are the i)rincipal 
lines: Tbe Atlantic & Great Westei-n 11. R., 
from Salamanca, N. V., to Dayton and thence 
to Cincinnati (447 mis.); the Central Ohio R. R., 
from Bellaire to Columbus (137 nils.); the Cincin- 
nati & Indianapolis Junction R. R. (98 mis.); the 
Cincinnati & Mu.skingum Vallej- R. R. (148 mis.); 
the Cincinnati, Sanilusky & Cleveland R. R. 
(215 J^ mis. ); the Cleveland, Columbu.s, Cincinnati

The canals were built at the expense of the 
state, and have a combined length of 73(j mis. 
The Ohio & Krie Canal runs from Cleveland to 
the valley of the Muskinsura, thence to Colum- 
bus and down the Scioto to Portsmouth. The 
Wabash & Erie Canal follows the valley of the 
Maumee to Fort Wayne, and thence extends to 
Terre Haute. The Miami Canal branches from 
the Wabash & Erie, 13 mis. above Defiance, and 
runs up the valley of the Auglaize II. In cross- 
ing the water-shed, it is supplied from a reser- 
voir situated partly in Mercer and partly in 
Auglaize cos., which covers an area of 17,000 
acres. From this point the canal passes down 
Into the Miami valley to Hamilton, and thence 
to Cincinnati. 

EdncaLion, Press, eic— Ohio has a thoroughly 
organized system of public schools. Each town- 
ship has a "Board of Education, and each sub- 
district a local board of trustees, which man- 
ages its school affairs, subject to the control of 
the township board. All public schools are re- 
quired to be in session at least '24 weelts during 
the year. The probate judge of eacli county 
appoints a Board of Scliool Examiners, which 
lias power to grant eertilieates to teachers for 
a term not exceeding two years. In lt>(iaa State 
Board of Examiners was created with power 
to issue certificates for life to teachers eminent 
for learning, skill and experience. 

Irreducible or special school funds were cre- 
ated by the sales of the lands appropriated by 
Congress for school purposes. The state pays 
annually six per cent, interest on these funds 
to the counties and towns. 

In the scliool year ending August 31, 1872, the 
total receipts from the funds and the taxes 
amounted to $9,813,715, anil the expenditures 
for school purposes to $7,383,856. The number 
of school-houses in townships was 10,08!), and in 
separate districts 978, having an estimated 
value, including grounds, of $17,108,196. There 
were employed 22,061 teachers, and there were 
enrolled in the schools 708,800 pupils, while the 
dally average attendance was 408,538. 

Tlie Ohio University, a state institution, 
founded in 1804, is located at Athens ; the Mi- 
auii University is at Oxford ; Oberlin College 
at Oberlin; the Baldwin University at Berea ; 
Kenyon College at Gambler ; Denison Univer- 
sity at Granville, etc. Ohio has no state nor- 
mal schools. Of the nine normal schools but 
one, the " Southwestern," receives subvention 
from, the sta»te school fund. The number of 
colleges, universities and academies, in 1871, was 
93 ; nor is there any lack of technical and pro- 
fessional schools. 

The state charitable and correctional institu- 
tions are the State Penitentiary, at Columbus, 
which in 1871 had 955 convicts ; the Keform Farm 
School for Boys, at Lancaster ; the Reform and 
Industrial School for girls; the Longview 
Asylum for Lunatics, near Cincinnati, with 575 
patients in 1871 ; the Central Ohio Lunatic Asy- 
lum, at Columbus ; the Northern Ohio Lunatic 
Asylum, at Newburgh, near Cleveland ; the 
Southern Ohio Lunatic Asylum, at Dayton ; the 
State Asylum for Idiots, the Asylum for the 
Blind, anil the Asj'lum for the Deaf and Dumb, 
all at Columbus. 

The press of Ohio comprised, in January, 1872, 
411 publications, of which 25 were dailies, 9 tri- 
weeklies, 5 semi-weeklies, 306 weeklies, 9 semi- 
monthlies, 53 monthlies, 3 bi-monthlies, and 
1 quarterly. With the exception of 34 German 
and 1 Bohemian papers, they were published in 
the English language. 

The principal liljiaries in the state are the 
following : Ohio State Library, at Columbus, 
36,100 volumes ; Public Library, at Cincinnati, 
33,958 vols.; Young Men's Merchantile Library, 
at Cincinnati, 33,175 vols.; Cleveland* Library 
Association, 10,0(X) vol; Cincinnati Law Library, 
6,000 vols., and Akron Library Association, 4,000 
vols. 



Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— The real and per- 
sonal property of Ohio was, in 1871, assessed at 
$1,502,126,971, against $1,167,731,697 in the preced- 
ing year. The true value however was estimated, 
in 1870, at $2,-235,430,300, against $1,193,893,422 in 
1860. 

The balance in the state treasury on Novem- 
ber 15, 1871, was $748,176 ; the receipts for the 
fiscal year ended November 15, 1872, were $4,757,- 
798, making the amount of funds in the treasury 
during the year, $5,505,974. The disbursements 
during said year amounted to $5,058,435, so that 
on November 15, 1872, there remained a balance 
in the treasury of $447,539. 

The public funded debt of the state was, in 
November, 1871, $9,022,722; the redemptions 
amounted to $439,175 ; leaving the debt out- 
standing in November, 1872, $8,.583,546. 

The local indebtedness on September 1, 1872, 
was as follows: Debt of counties, $3,756,436; 
debt of townships, $447,238; debt of cities, $11,- 
495,591 ; debt of incorporated villages, $316,560 ; 
special debt of school districts, $1,274,723 ; 
making an aggregate of local indebtedness of 
$17,590,548. The amount of reimbursable deljt, 
state and local, therefore, is $26,174,094, to which 
add $4,023,475 irreducible debt, and we find the 
grand total of all debts of the state to reach 
$30,197,569. 

Oovernment.— Ohio was formed from the 
north-western territory ceded to the United 
States by Va. in 1783, and admitted into the 
Union as a state in April, 1802. The Governor, 
Lieutenant-Governor and Treasurer are elected 
by the people for 2 years, and for the same 
period the Secretary of State and Attorney 
General ; but their elections take place in alter- 
nate years. The Comptroller of the Treasury 
and tiie State School Commissioner are elected 
for 3 years, and the Auditor of State for four 
years. The three members of the Board of 
Public Works are elected for 3 years, one going 
out of office each year. 

The members of the Legislature— senators 
and representatives — are elected for 2 years. In 
1872 the Senate consisted of 36 members, and 
the House of Representatives of 105 members. 

The judicial power of the state is vested in a 
Supreme Court, Courts of Common Pleas, Dis- 
trict Courts, Probate Courts and Justices of the 
Peace. 

The Supreme Coui-t consists of five judges, 
chosen by the people for a term of five years ; 
one judge retiring from office each year. The 
judge having the shortest time to serve is chief 
justice. Tins court holds at least one term 
each year at Columbus, and such other terms 
as may be provided by law. 

The'state is divided into 9 common pleas dis- 
tricts, one of which is formed by Hamilton co. 
The 8 other districts are each divided into 3 v 
sub-districts, for each of which one judge is X 
elected for a term of 5 years. 

District Courts, composed of the judges of 
the Common Pleas Courts of the respective dis- 
tricts, and presided over by one of the judges 
of the Supreme Court, are held in each co. at 
least once in each year. 

White male citizens of the United States, 21 
years of age, who have resided in the state one 
year, are entitled to vote. 

Ohio is divided into the following 88 counties : 
Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula, Athens, 
Auglaize, Belmont, Brown, Butler, Carroll, 
Champaign, Clark, Clermont, Clinton, Colum-

Ohio River, one of the principal tributaries 
of the Mississippi R.; is formed by the conflu- 
enee of the Alleghany and Mondngahela lis., 
at Pittsburgh, Pa., flows in a general W. S. W, 
direction, forming the boundary between W. 
Va. and Ky. on the S., and Ohio, Ind. and 111. on 
the X., and joins the Mississippi at Cairo, II!. 
Throughout its whole length (975 mis.) the 
river flows with a gentle current, uninterrupt- 
ed by rapids except near Louisville, Ky., where 
it descends '26 feet in three mis., forming the 
'•Falls of the Ohio." It drains the X. E. por- 
tion of the Mississippi basin, a fertile and 
populous region of 214,000 sq. mis. in extent. 
At Pittsburgh the stream, during low water, 
is 699 feet above its mouth, indicating a mean 
fall of 0.72 feet per mile. The range between 
extreme lovv and extreme high water is about 
45 feet, but the usual range does not exceed 25 
feet. The mean width of the river between 
Pittsburgh and Point Pleasant is 1,000 feet at 
low water and 1,200 feet at high water, the 
corresponding areas of cross-section being 
about 5,000 and .50,000 sq. feet respectively. 
These dimensions gradually increase, until 
near the mouth of the river the widths be- 
come about 2,.500 feet and 3,000 feet, and the 
areas ,50,0<I0 and 150,000 sq. feet respectively. 
The Ohio discharges annually about 5 trillions 
of cubic feet, or about one-quarter of the an- 
nual discharge of the Mississippi. The first 
rise in the river usually occurs in Feljruary, 
when the snows melt, and is about -25 feet at; 
the mouth. The next rise occurs in May or 
June, and is due to the summer rains. In Au- 
gust and September the river is lowest, and 
then is onlv navigable for boats of IS inches 
drauglit. £arly in Xovember it begins to rise 
and often continues to do so until the banks 
are full. It freezes generally about Christ- 
mas, and sometimes remains frozen for four 
weeks. The following are the principal tri- 
butaries : The Muskingum, Scioto and Miami 
R.S., in Ohio; the Wabash R., which joins the 
Ohio between Ind. and 111.; the Little Kan- 
awha, Great Kanawha andGuyandotte Rs., in 
W. Va., and the Sandy. Licking, Kentucky,

OREGOX, one of the western states ; borders 
on the Pacific Ocean, and is bounded on the N. 
by Wash. Ter.. from which it is partly separat- 
ed by the Columbia R.; on the E. by Itlaho Ter. 
and on the S. bj' Cal.and Nev. It extends from 
42° to 46° 18' N. hit. and from 116° 40' to 124° 25' 
W. long. The area is 95,274 sq. mis., or 60,975,360 
acres. 

Surface.— The prominent surface feature of 
the state is the lofty chain of the Cascade Mts., 
which intersects it from N. to S. parallel to and 
al)Out 110 mis. from the sea-coast. It is the 
northern continuation of the Sierra Nevada of 
Cal., and, although less elevated than that fa- 
mous range, it has the same geographical im- 
portance, being the barrier between regions 
widely diflering in climate, vegetation and 
other natural characteristics. 

The portion of Oreg. which lies E. of the Cas- 
cade Mts. is an arid table-land, gently sloping 
down from the S. to the N., ami having a mean 
elevation of about 2,000 feet above the sea. It 
is diversified by mountains and hills, as the 
Blue Mts., Warner's Range, which enters the 
state from Cal., and others. The valleys of 
this region, though but of limited exten't, are 
very fertile, and with the aid C)f irrigation 
produce excellent crops. In the N. E. part of 
the state there is the Grantle Ronde Valley, a 
circular basin of some 30 luls. in diameter ; S, 
of it is tlie Powder Vallej', and in the S. E. part 
we find the Malheur and Owyhee Vallej'.s, 
while the John Day and Dos fcihutes valleys ex- 
tend along the eastern base of the Cascade Alts. 

The portion of Oreg. which lies W. of theCas- 
cade Mts., embracing about one-third of its 
area, is in every respect the most favored and 
attractive. Here, as in California, risetlie coust 
ranges to an elevation of 3,000 to 4,000 feet, and 
inclose those beautiful and exceedingly fertile 
valleys, which contain the most ilensel'y inhab- 
ited and best cultivated parts of the state. The 
valley of the AVilliamette li. extentls from the 
CoUunbia li. in a southerly direction tothe44th 
parallel, and contains about 5,000,000 acres of 
land. The Umpqua Valley comprises the whole 
ot Douglas CO., has an estimated area of 1.000,000 
acres, and a very rich soil. The Rogue River 
Valley, S. of the Umpqua, is hilly, and in many 
places mountainous ; but posst^sses many high- 
ly productive small valleys, and has an esti- 



OREGON. 



677 



OREGON. 



mated area of 800,000 acres. The TVillamette 
Valley lies parallel to the eoast line, while the 
two other valleys extend eastvvartUy from the 
ocean. 

The coast of Oreg. has several good harbors, 
the most important of which is that at the 
mouth of the Columbia R. The oniers are 
Yaquina, Uuipc|.ua, Port Orford, Coquill and 
Tillamook. 

Rivers and Lakes. — The largest stream of Orcg. 
is the Columbia, which washes the northern 
boundary from the 119tli to the l'J4th meriilian, 
a distance of about '230 mis. It is navigable, 
except at the Cascades, IHO mis. above its mouth, 
where it breaks through the Cascade Mts. and 
where a portage by rail, 6 mis. long, lias been 
constructed, and at Dallas City, 50 mis. higher 
up, where a similar portage Ji mis. long" has 
been constructed. The principal tributaries 
of the Columbia are. Snake R., which traverses 
Idaho Ter. and then forms part of the eastern 
boundary of Oreg., receiving from this state 
the Owyhee R., Malheur R., Grande Ronde R., 
limatilla R., John Day's R., and the V/illamette 
R., which rises in the Cascade Mts., drains the 
beautiful valley which bears its name, is navi- 
gable as far as Eugene City, and joins the Co- 
lumbia below Vancouver, Wash. Ter. TheUmp- 
qua and Rogue Rs. rise in the Coast Mts., 
and after a westward course empty into the 
Pacific, the former at Umpqua City, the latter 
at Kllensburgh. 

In the southern part of Oreg., and E. of the 
Cascade Mts., are the Klamath Lakes, whose 
outlet is Klamath R., Albert Lake, Silver Lake, 
Lake Harney and the northern half of Goose 
Lake. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of west- 
ern Oreg. resembles that of Cal., being remark- 
able for mildness and equability. The mean 
annual temperature of this belt of country, 
from the Columbia to the Cal. state line, varies 
from H° near the Cascade Range to 50° at the 
sea-coast. The mean temperature of spring and 
fall is 54°, of summer, 70°, and of winter, 40°. 
The rain-fall is not exceeded in any portion of 
the United States, and amounts to tiO inches and 
more near the coast, whence to the mountains 
It gradually decreases to 44 inches. The vege- 
tation here is rich and varied. Dense forests 
of immense growth cover the valleys and hill- 
slopes, consisting mostly of coniferous trees, as 
the red-wood (abies Douglassi), yellow pine 
(abies graudis), various firs (picea nobilisandp. 
grandis), sugar pine (pinus Lambertiana), Ore- 
gon cedar(thuyagigantea), white cedar (cupres- 
sus fragrans), autl others of great height and 
thicTvuess. Nor is there any lack of deciduous 
trees peculiar to the Pacitio coast, as the oak,, 
elm, ash, beach, lime, chestnut and walnut, and 
interspersed among them are numberless vari- 
eties of shrubs, with the most beautiful flowers 
and foliage. Along the banks of the streams 
are narrow belts of prairies, with nutritious 
grasses and herbs. 

Widely ditferent is that portion of the state 
which lies E. of the Cascade Mts. Here the cli- 
mate is marked by great extremes, sudden 
changes, and that aridity which characterizes 
the whole interior plateau of the continent. 
The wild sage, or artemisia, covers the plains, 
and the bottom-lands of the Avater-courses pro- 
duce bunch grass, willows and aspens. The 
growth of timber is restricted to the slopes and 
valleys of the higher mountain chains. 

Wild animals are still numerous. Bears, 
wolves, lynxes, pantliers, foxes, deer, Rocky 
mountain sheep, antelopes, raccoons, coyotes, 
etc.. inhabit the more thinly settled portions 
of tlie state ; beavers, martins and otters yield 
valuable furs ; and the rivers and lakes abound 
in salmon and other flsh. 

Population. — The first American settlements 
in Oreg. were made in 1839. In liiiO the popula- 
tion was 13,'294 ; in ISGO, 52,405, and in 1870, 90,923, 



mcludiiig 86,929 whites, 346 colored persons, 
3,330 Chinese and 318 taxed Indians. The num- 
ber of Indians sustaining tribal relations was 
estimated at 10,900, of whom 6,110 were settled 
on reservations and at the agencies, and 4,200 
were embraced in the wandering tribes. 
According to nativity the inhabitants were 



divided as follows : Born in the United States 
79,323, inclusive of 37,1.55 natives of the state: 
born in foreign countries, 11,600, inclusive " 
1,168 natives of British America, 1,875 of G 
many, 1,347 of England, 1,967 of Ireland, 394 



of 
Ger- 

- ., , , .J4of 

Scotland and 205 of Sweden. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
30,651 persons, viz.: 13,248 in agriculture, 6,090 in 
professional and personal services, 2,619 in trade 
and transportation, and 8,694 in manufactures, 
mechanical and mining industries. 

Miner (ds and Mining. -The precious minerals 
are principally found in the southern and east- 
ern sections of the state. Especially rich is the 
valley of Jackson's Cr., a tributary of Rogue R., 
where there are not only rich gold " placers,'* 
bitt also veins of gold and silver-bearing quartz. 
Coal of excellent quality is found along the sea- 
coast, chiefly, however, arouiidCoose B., in the 
south-western part of the state. Extensive and 
almost inexhaustible deposits of iron ore occur 
in the north-western part. The iron mines near 
Oswego, G mis. aljove Portland, are successfully 
and profitably worked. The product is equal 
to the best Scottish iron. Copper ore has been 
discovered on some of the tributaries of the 
Rogue R., where one mine has lately been 
opened. 

Agriculture. — In 1870 there were 7,587 farms in 
the state, which included 2,.389,25'2 acres of land, 
of which amount 1,116,290 acres (or 1.8 per cent, 
of the state area) were under cultivation, 761,001 
were woodland and the remainder unculti- 
vated. 

The cash value of farms was $22,3.52,989 and of 
farm productions, including additions to stock 
and improvements, $7,122,790. The principal 
products were : Spring wheat, 1,794,494 bush.; 
winter wheat, 546,252 bush.; rye, 3,890 bush.; In- 
dian-corn, 72,138bash.; oats, 2,029,909 bush.; Irish 
pot's, 481,710 bush.; tobacco, 3,847 lbs.; wool, 
1,080,638 lbs.; butter, 1,418,373 lbs., and hay, 73,357 
tons. 

The live stock liad a value of $6,828,67.5, and 
included 51,702 horses, 2,581 mules and asses, 48,- 
325 milch cows, 2,441 working oxen, 69,431 other 
cattle, 318,1-23 sheep and 119,455 swine. 

Manufactures.— Ores- li'i^'^i i'^ l^'^Oi 909 manu- 
facturing establishments (against 809 in 1860), 
which used 88 steam-engines of 2,471 horse-power 
ai>d 236 water-wheels of 5,806 horse-power, and 
employed 2,884 operatives. The capital invest- 
ed amounted to $4,37(),849, and the wages paid 
to $1,120,173. The materials consumed had a 
value of $3,419,750, and the products turned out 
of $6,877,387. 

The principal products of industry, with 
their values, were: Flour and meal, $1,972,444; 
sawed lumlier, i{!l, 014,211 ; steam-engines and 
boilers, $146,400; packed pork, 8101,750 ; saddlery 
and harness, $131,919; tin, copper and sheet-iron 
ware, $158,462, and woollen goods, $492,857. 

Commerce and Railroads. — The direct imports 
into (.)reg. from foreign countries for the year 
ended June 30, 1872, had a value of $618,882, and 
the exports to foreign countries of $699,026. 

The commercial fieet owned in the state com- 
prised 36 sailing vessels of 1,857 tons, 40 steam 
vessels of $10,209 tons, and 11 unrigged vessels 
of 945 tons. 

The total mileage of the railroads in 1872 was 
214. The principariine is the Oregon & California 
R. R., which is intended to extend from Port- 
laiul to the Cal. state line. It has been complet- 
ed from Portland to Roseburgh, a distance of 
about 200 mis. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— In 1871 the total 
property of Oreg., real and personal, was 



OREGON.

assessed at $34,744,4.W, against $31,798,510 of the 
preeedinf^ year; but the true value was esti- 
mated, in 1870, at $51,55S,93-2, an increase of over 
$i!,()00,000 since 1860. 

The interest-bearing debt of the state was, 
in 1870, *100,5S3 ; of the counties, $105,903, and of 
the cities and towns, $i;,000. The aggregate of 
the entire public indebtedness at the end of the 
fiscal year 1870 amounted to $218,468. 

The total taxation (not national) during the 
same year was $.)S0,9.)6, against $199,05(5 in 18*)0. 
In the fiscal year ended September, 1872, the 
receipts of the treasury amounted to $942,570, 
sind the disbursements to $769,972, leaving a 
bahmce on hand of $172,.598. 

Education, Press, etc.— Congress has donated 
to the state lands for educational and other 
purposes, as folh)ws : 1. School-lands propei-, 
1. e ,lhe 16th and 36th sections, or their equiva- 
lent, where portions of such sections were held 
by donation claimants prior to the public sur- 
veys. 2. University lands, consisting of 72 sec- 
tions, for the use and support of a state uni- 
versity. 3. Five hundred thousand acres of 
land for purposes of internal improvement, 
and which have been designated as state lands. 
4. Ninety tliousand acres of land for the sup- 
port of an agricultural college. 

The expenses for the public schools are de- 
frayed from a tax of two per mills of the taxa- 
ble property in the state, and amounted to 
nearly $60,000 in 1870. The total receipts of the 
school department amounted to $153,000. There 
were 636 school districts in the state. The 
number of pensons of school age (from 4 to 20 
years) was, in 1871, 34,055, of whom 21,000 were 
enrolled in the public schools. 

The higher educational institutions were the 
following: the Pacific University, at Forest 
Grove (founded in 184S) ; the Williamette Uni- 
versity (.Methodist), at Salem; the Oregon Col- 
lege ( llapl isi), at Oregon City ; the Holy Angels, 
College, at Vancouver; the Philomath College, 
sit Philomath ; the Corvallis College, at Corval-

and St. John's High School, at Eugene City; 
the Albany Collegiate Institute, at Albany; 
the St. Mary's Academy and Jacksonville 
Academy, at "Jacksonville, and the Roseburgh 
Acailemy, at Wilbur. The State University 
has not yet been established, nor has the Agri- 
cultural College been organized. 

There were i66, other than private libraries in 
Oregon, with 61,,'j32 vols. 

The press consisted, in January 1, 1872, of 30 
newspapers and periodicals, of which 4 were 
dailies, 22 weeklies, 1 semi-monthly, 2 mouth- 
lies, and 1 quarterly. 

The penal ami charitable institutions are the 
State l^enitcntiary, near Salem ; the State 
School for the Deaf and Dumb, at Salem, and 
the Oregon Hospital for the Insane, at East 
Portland. 

Government. — Oreg. was organized as a terri- 
tory in 1818; was divided in 1852,the northern por- 
tion being called Washington and the southern 
Oregon. A state constitution was adopted in 
1857, and it was admitted into the Union in 
18.59. 

The Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer 
end State Printer are elected for 4 years. T-hc 
, creneral election for state and county officers is 
held bieiuiially on the first Monday of .June. The 
legislative assembly consists of a Senate and a

six months a resident of the state, may vote. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court ami live Circuit Courts. The Supreme 
Court consists of five justices, who are also 
judges of the District Court !^ in their respective 
Uibtricts. Their term of oflice is 6 years. The 



Supreme Court holds one term annually at the 

seat of government. 
Oregon is divided into the following 22 cos.:

PEJTNSYIiVANIA, one of the thirteen 
original states of the Union, and with regard to 
population and wealth second to N. Y. only; 
extends from 39° 43' to 42° 15' N. latitude, and 
from 74° 40' to 80° 40' W. longitude. It is bounded 
on the N. by N. Y. and Lake Erie ; on the W. by 
Ohio and W. Va.; on the St by W. Va., Jld. and 
Del., and on the K. by N. Y. and N. J. It has 
the shape of a rectangle, which is 303 mis. long 
from E. to W. and 176mls. wide from S. to N., and 
includes an area of 46,000 sq. mis., or 29,440,000 
acres. Its boundaries are straight lines, with 
the exception of the eastern, which is formed 
by the Delaware R., and the western extremity 
of the northern, which is formed by Lake Erie. 

(Swr/ace.— Pa. is naturally divided into three 
parts : a south-eastern district of plains and 
scattered hills ; a mountain belt of synimctrical 
and parallel ranges ; and a western table-land 
of a rolling surface, deeply furrowed by valleya 
of erosion. 

1. The South-eastern District is bounded on 
tlic N. W. by the Blue, or Kittatinny, Mts., and 
on the E. by the Delaware R., and corresponds 
to the " Middle Country " of Va. Along the 
banks of the Delaware, below Trenton, N. J., 
there extends a narrow plain of low land, 
rarely exceeding a few miles In svidth or a few 
feet in height above the sea level, and in wliicli 
is situated the larger portion of tlie city of 
Philadelphia. From this plain the ground rises, 
gently in some parts, boldly and with hilly 
slopes in others, and gradually a.«iceniis to a 
thousand feet at the base of the Kittatinnies. 
The surface of the district is undulating of roll- 
ing, and along the borders of the water-courses 
often presents scenery of great boldness and 
picturesque beauty ; for example, on the well 
known Wissaliickon, near Philadelphia, on the 
Brandywine, the Schuylkill and elsewhere. 
The country lying along the Kittatinny Mts., 
known as the Cumberland Valley, is a part ot 
the " Great Valley " wliicli exteinls through the 
entire length of the Appalachian System from 
Canada to Alabama. But the mountain ranges 
that elsewhere cut off the Great Valley from the 
open country on the seaboard, sink in Penn- 
sylvania beneath the plain for a distance of 60 
mis., so that the Cumberland Valley is but par- 
tially bounded by the South Mt.of Ailams,b'rank. 
lin and Cumberland cos. (the continuation of 
the Virginian Blue Ridge) ; the Forest Hills, in 
Berks and Lebanon cos., and the South Mt. of 
Berks and Bucks cos. (the continuation of the 
Highland Belt of N. J.). The detached ridges 
which traverse the country to the S. of the 
Cumberland Valley are the Welsh Hills, be- 
tween Lancaster, Berks and Chester cos., the 
Conewago Hills of York and Dauphin cos., and 
the Copper-mine Ridge, in Chester co., while 
isolated mountains ot trap-rock, like theHav- 
cock in Berks co. and the Round Top in York, 
add another feature to the scenery. 

2. The Mountain Belt extends through the 
state, in a width of about 50 mis., between the 
Kittatinny Mts. on the one siile ami the Alle- 
ghany Mts. on the other. The latter range in- 
cludes the culminating ground of the state, 
and has a mean elevation of 2,000 feet and sum- 
mits of 2,500 feet above the sea level. Its north- 
ern extremity rises from the table-land of 
Wayne co. (which enters this state from N. Y., 
where it forms the base of the CatskiU Mts.), 
runs for40 mis. straight S. 63° VV. (here known by 
the local name of Great North Mt.), and then 
setting N. for 10 mis., and giving issue to the 
waters of Muncy Cr., it takes a new departure S. 
85'-' W. to the ravines of Loyalsock Cr. ami Ly- 
coming Cr. From this point the range makes 
a straight line S. 62° W. to the gorge at Lock- 
haven, where the West Branch of tlie Sus(iue- 
hauna R. breaks through it; and thence to Md., 
it forms a nearly unbroken wall of rock 1,000 
feet above its eastern base, trending S. .tO° W 
from Black Cr. to Altooua, and theuce S. 29° W.

Between this great wall (the precipitous east- 
ern slope of the Alleghany Mts.)anatlie Kitta- 
tinny Mts. there is a large number of ridges 
with uniform slopes, being in many cases unva- 
ried by ravine or gully for many miles. The 
crests are for the most part sharp, and for 
long distances preserve the same height, be- 
ing only here and there interrupted by notches, 
some of which descend to the valley levels, and 

five passages to the streams of the country. 
n many instances two parallel ridges unite at 
their extremities, and inclose a deep, narrow, 
oval valley, often resembling a long, sharply 
pointed canoe or skiff. 

This mountain belt is intersected near the 
middle by the valley of the Susquehanna R., 
which is very irregular in width, now contract- 
ed by the jutting mountains on each side, now 
widening to "20 and 30 mis. by valleys running 
up between these mountains. 

To the E. of the Susquehanna Valley lies the 
Anthracite Region, which includes the Potts- 
Ville and Mine Hill Basin, between the Sharp 
Mts. and the plateau-like Broad Mt.; the Shamo- 
kin and Mahanoy Basin, between the Lime Mt., 
the Mahanoy and Little Mts.; the Beaver Mead- 
ow Mountain Basin, exteniling to Bucks Mt. in 
the N., and intersected by numerous short 
ranges, and lastly the Wilkesbarre and Scran- 
ton Basin, also known as the Wyoming Valley, 
Which is bordered on the S. E. by the range of 
the Wyoming and Moosic Mts., and on the N. 
W. by that of the Knob Mt., Shawney Range, 
Capon's liange and the Lackawanna Mts., and 
which is perhaps the most perfect of the canoe- 
Bhaped valleys of the state. ' The East Branch 
of the Susquehanna R. enters it near the middle 
of its northern rim, flows througli a large por- 
tion of it in a south-westerly direction, and 
leaves it through a gap in the Wyoming Mts. 

Between the last-named range, the Delaware 
B., the upper course of the Lehigh R. and the 
Kittatinny Mts., there extends the Pocono, or 
Poco Wilderness, which consists of the "Shades 
of Death," a region of swamps and laurel thick- 
ets, the haunt of the panther, tlie bear and other 
Wild animals, and extensive beach-timbered pla- 
teaus, 2,000 feet above the sea. It chiefly in- 
cludes Pike and Monroe cos. 

That part of the mountain belt which lies W. 
Of the Susquehanna Valley may be termed the 
Juniata country. The traveler who crosses it 
from the Blue to the Alleghany Mts. has to 
pass everywhere over narrow mountain ranges 
and through broad and fertile valleys. Leaving 
out the unimportant ones, thej' may be enum- 
erated as follows: Theflrst long chain that suc- 
ceeds the Blue is that of the Tuscarora Mts., 
and W. of it lies the Tuscarora Valley, 50 mis. 
long and curving from tlie Susquehanna R. to 
Fulton CO. Then follows the composite range 
Of the Shade and Black Log Mts., beyond which 
is the long valley, commencing at Middleburgh, 
In Snyder co., and running to Lewistown, 
Where" it becomes the Juniata Valley proper. 
At Newton-Hamilton it becomes the Great 
Augh wick Valley, and enters Maryland at Were- 
fordsburg. For a hundred miles it preserves 
a width of about 8 mis. Kishacoquillas Valley, 
back of Lewistown, is inclosed between Jack's 
Mt. and Stone ;Mt. at its southern end, and the 
Seven Mts. at its northern end. It is about US 
mis. long and nowhere exceeds 4 mis. in width. 
The Stone Vallej' is shut off frona all connection 
with the Susquehanna country by the circus of 
the Seven Mts., and bounded by Stone Mt. in 
the E., and Tussey's Mt. in the W. Huntingdon 
Stands^in the center, and Warrior's Ridge occu- 
pies tlie middle of its floor. J^'rom the end of 
Terrace Mt., rising 1,200 feet above the Juniata 
R., the tourist may overlook the scene and en- 
joy one of the grandest landscape views in the 
Btate. Broad Top Mt., in Huntingdon and Bed- 
ford COS., reduces its width (elsewhex-e 12 or 16 
tnls.) to4 mis. 



West of Tussey's Mt. and Nittany Mt. lies the 
Nittany Valley, which is bounded on the VV. by 
the Bald Eagle Range, and on the N. E. by the 
Bufl'alo Mt., and has a length within the state 
of 110 mis., but varies in width from 4 to 20 mis. 
It is everywhere fertile and well settled, and 
abounds in deposits of hematite iron ore. TMie 
Bald EagJe Valley is the last of the series and 
faces for 160 mis. the wall of the Alleghany ]\lts. 
from Muncj', on the North Branch of the Sus- 
quehanna, to the Md. state line. For 100 inla. 
it is bounded on the S. E. by the Bald Eagle 
Mts. For 35 mis. the Susquehanna flows tin ough 
it ; the next 40 mis. are traver.sedby Bald Eagle 
Or., and then the drainage is reversed into the 
Juniata for 41 mis. Near the head waters of the 
Frankstown Branch the valley wiilens and. 
forms a hatchet-shaped cove, in which are the 
fields, furnaces and iron mines of Hollidays- 
burg and Frankstown. The next 20 mis. are oc- 
cupied by the head waters of the R^ystown 
Branch, and here opens the Bedford Valley to 
theE. 

3. The Western Table-land occupies one-half 
the area of the state and extends from the 
crest of the Alleghany Mts. toward N. Y., 
Lake Erie and Ohio. It includes the Mehoopany 
Mt., in Sullivan co., wliich extends beyond the 
Susquehanna at Tunkhannock, the Towanda 
Mt., in Bradford co., and the Blossburgh Mt. and 
the Crooked Creek Mt., both in Tioga co. This 
north-eastern pari of the taljle-land is the re- 
gion of white pine forests and the Susque- 
hanna lumber trade. The south-eastern part is 
intersected by Negro Mt., Laurel Ridge and 
Chestnut Ridge. The last two ranges inclose 
the Ligonier Valley, and, where they are inter- 
sected by the Youghiogheny R., present scenery 
both grand and beautiful. 

jBiuers.— The principal rivers of Pa. empty 
either into the Atlantic Ocean through Dela- 
ware and Chesapeake Bs. or into the Ohio. The 
water-shed between these two drainage sys- 
tems follows the southern extremity of the Al- 
leghany Mts., turns N. W. in Somerset co., and 
then intersects the western table-land in Clar- 
ion, Elk, McKean and Potter cos. The part of 
the state lying W. of this line is drained by the 
Ohio R., except only the small areas which send 
their waters to the Genesee R. (90 sq. mis.) and 
directlj- into Lake Erie (352 sq. mis. j. The Ohio 
R. is formed at Pittsburgh by the confluence of 
the Alleghany and Monongahela lis. The for- 
mer receives Conewango, Oil and French Cra. 
from the N. W., and Tionesta Cr. Clarion R., Red 
Bank Cr., Mahoning Cr., Crooked Cr. and Cone- 
maugli R. froni the E. Into the M»iiongahela 
R. empty the Youghioijlieny and several small 
creeks in Greene and Washington cos., and the 
direct affluents of the Ohio R. are Chartiers Cr. 
and the Shenango R. 

The Susquehanna R. drains nearly one-half 
of the area of the state. It is formed by the 
East and West Branches, which unite above 
Sunbury, in Northumberland co. From this 
point the stream flows S. to the mouth of the 
Juniata R., and turning S. E. passes by Harris- 
burgh and Columbia, and empties into the 
northern extremity of Chesapeake B. at Port 
Deposit, Md. Its width is very unequal and 
varies between a quarter of a mile and one 
mile and a half, and as the bed is interrupted 
by rocky ledges the stream is not navigable. 
The East Branch rises in Otsego Lake (Otsego 
CO., N. y.), flows S. W. to Susquehanna co.. Pa., 
bends back into N. Y., and reentering Pa. in 
Bradford co. flows S. E. into Wyoming Vallej', 
whence it pursues a south-westerly course to 
its junction with the West Branch Its course 
is tortuous and its fall great, so that it furnishes 
much water-power, lis principal tributaries 
are Meshoppen, Tunkhannock and Lackawanna 
Crs. The West Branch rises in Cambria co., and 
flows N. E. through Clearfield co.,and then pur- 
sues a very tortuous easterly direction as far as 



PENNSYLVANIA.

Muncy. where it bends sharply S. to its conflu- 
ence witli tlie East Branch. Its northern afflu- 
ents are Sinneinahoning, Pine, Lycoming, Loy- 
alsock and Muncy Crs., and its soutliern, Clear- 
field, Moshanuoii, Bald Eagle, White Deer and 
Buti'alo Crs. 

Tlie principal tributary of the Susquehanna 
is the Juniata K., wliicli is formed by the con- 
fluence, below Huntingdon, of the Frankstown 
and Raystown Branches, follows an easterly 
course across the mountain belt and empties 
above Petersburg. The Susquehanna also re- 
ceives from the W. Penn's, Sherman's, Conedo- 
gwinit. Breeches, Conewago and Codorus Crs., 
and from tbe E. Shamokin, Mahanoy, Wiconis- 
co, Powell's, Clark's, Stouey, Swatara and Con- 
es toga Crs. 

Tbe Delaware R. rises on the western de- 
clivities of the Catskill Mts., N. Y., in two 
brandies, the Main, or Coquago, Branch and 
the East, or Popaeton, Branch, which unite 
near Hancock, Delaware co., N. Y. Thence the 
river flows S. E., separating N. Y. from Pa., to 
Port Jervis, wliere it turns S. AV. and flows 
along the northern base of the Shawangunk 
Mts. of N. J. -\t the Delaware Water Gap it 
traverses the celebrated notch between the 
Shawangunk and Blue Mts., which rise nearly 
1,200 feet above its banks, and thence follows a 
southerly course to the South Mt. a few miles 
below Easton. Here it turns again S. E. as far 
as Trenton, N. J., where it falls over a rocky 
ledge and meets tide-water, lo'2 mis. from the 
sea. Flowing once more in a south-westerly di- 
rection it passes by Philadelphia, and gradually 
expands into Delaware B., between the states 
of Del. and N. J. It is navigable to Philadel- 
phia for the largest vessels, and for smaller 
boats to Trenton. The area drained by the 
Delaware is estimated at 11, '250 sq. mis. The 

Erincipal tributaries are Lackawaxen Cr., the 
eliigii K., Schuylkill R. and Brandj-wine R. 

The Climate of Pa. varies considerably with 
the elevation above the sea, and while the lower 
portions of the state have very hot summers, 
■with the thermometer rising to 100 degrees, the 
higlier portions have v>leasant summers, but 
long and severe winters. The mean annual 
temperature is over 52° in the south-eastern 
COS., and decreases to 48° and H° in the central 
and northern cos. respectively. The amount 
Of rain and snow which falls varies from 3ii to 
40 inches. In the S. E. corner it is nearly 48 
inches. 

The P'efireto^ion of Pa. is rich and varied. Ex- 
tensive forests cover much of the mountain 
belt and the westeun table-land, consisting of 
pines and coniferous trees in the north-central 
parts of the state, and of deciduous trees in the 
rest of the state. Climbing plants, such as the 
•wild grape, the trumpet flower, etc., are quite 
abundant, and greatly add to the attractive 
beauty of the forests. The undergrowth con- 
sists largely of flowering shrubs, as the " lau- 
rel," a species of Rhododendron, the azalea, 
and many others. 

JPopula/ion.— The pop. of Pa. in 1790 was 4.34,- 
373 ; in 1800, U02,3i)5 ; in 1810, 810,091 ; in 1820, 1,047,- 
607; in 1830, 1,348,233; in 1840, 1,724,033; in ls.50, 
2,311,786 ; in 18U0, 2,90(5,21.'), and in 1870, 3,521,9.il. 
Of these there were 3,4,56,009 white, 05,294 col- 
ored, 13 Chinese, 1 Japanese, and 34 Indians. 

In regaril to nativity the pop. is distributed 
as follows: Born in the United States, 2,976,- 
642, including 2,726,712 natives of the state, 
6,767 of Conn., 14,617 of Del., 2,283 of 111., 1,440 of 
Ind.. 9,>2 of Iowa, 1,375 of Ky., 3,071 of Me., 28,910 
of Md., 9,119 of Mass., l,48o"of Mich., 1,852 of N. 
H., 3.;,694 of N. J., 87,8(!9 of N. Y., 1,002 of N. C, 
19,295 of Ohio, 1,119 of S. C, 1,586 of R. 1., 4,163 of 
Vt., 18,936 of Va. and W. Va., and 1,462 of the 
D. C. The foreign-born population numbered 
545,309. including 1,.>;56 natives of Austria, 10,022 
of British America, 8,694 of France, 160,146 of 
Geruiauy, 69,665 of England, 235,798 of Ireland, 



16,846 of Scotland, 27,643 of Wales, 2,266 of Swe- 
den, and 5,765 of Switzerland. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered, in 1870, 2,597,809 ; and of these were 
engaged in all cla.sses of occupations 1,020,544 
persons, viz.: in agriculture, 260,051 ; in profes- 
sional and personal services, 283,000; in trade 
and transportation, 121,253, and in manufac- 
tures and mechanical and mining industries, 
356,240. 

Minerals and Mining. — Although Pa. has no 
deposits of precious metals, its iron and coal 
treasures alone render it one of the richest 
mining states of the Union. The anthracite 
coal flelds, in the mountain belt between the 
Susquehanna and Delaware Rs., have already 
been mentioned. The bituminous coal is nearly 
all produced in tlie flve cos. of Greene, Faj^ette, 
Washington, Monroe and Alleghany; aiid the 
semi-bituminous coal, which is largely used for 
manufacturing purposes, is produced in the 
COS. of Tioga, Bradford, Centre, Cambria and 
Huntingdon. The coal product of the state, ia 
1870, was computed to have been 7,675,841 tons 
bituminous coal of all kinds, and 1,5.849,899 tons 
anthracite coal, making a grand total of 23,525,- 
740 tons. 

Petroleum was known to exist in Pa. at a 
very early day ; but it had no commercial im- 
portance until 1859. Since then the oil regions 
on Oil Cr. and on the Shenango R. have yielded 
immense quantities of this useful substance, 
not only for home consumption, but also for 
export into foreign countries. In 18,59 the 
petroleum product amounted to 8'2.009 barrels ; 
in 1864 to 2,116,109 barrels, and in 1870 to 5,6,59,000 
barrels, of which 3,279,951 barrels were exported. 

Pa. is the first " iron " state in the Union, and 
produces more of this metal and articles manu- 
factured from it than all the other states and 
territories together. The mines are scattered 
throughout the mountain belt, the south- 
eastern district, and to a more limited extent 
through the western table-land. 

Salt springs occur chiefly in the valleys of 
the Moiiongahela, Kiskiminetas and Beaver 
lis., which yield about 1,700,000 bushels an- 
nually. Limestone, marble, slate and superior 
building stones are very abundant. Marble is 
found chiefly in Chester and Montgomery cos.; 
the slate of York and Lehigh cos. is of superior 
quality ; zinc mines are worked near Bethlehem 
and in Huntingdon co.; graphite is ol)tained in 
Bucks CO., and nickel from the "Gap Nickel 
Mines," in Lancaster co., the only ones in the 
United States. Chromium occurs in great quan- 
tities in Chester and Lancaster cos., and salt- 
peter deposits have been discovered in the 
central parts of the state. 

According to the census report the mining 
products of the state, in 1870, had a value oit 
$76,208,390, of which $38,430,745 were for anthra- 
cite coal, $13,921,069 for bituminous coal, $18,045,- 
967 for petroleum, $3,944,146 for iron, $')18,229 for 
slate, $873,879 for stone, $235,5.55 for zinc, $101,000 
for marble, $24,000 for nickel and $7,800 for cop- 
per. 

Agriculture.— Pa. has a very large amount of 
the best farming soil in the country, and is pre- 
eminently an agricultural state. The richest 
lands are in the picturesque valleys interven- 
ing between the numerous mountain ranges 
of the interior, and in the S. E. portion of the 
state, embracing the cos. of Delaware, Bucks, 
Jlontgotnery, Chester, Lancaster, I^ebanon, 
Berks and Lehigh. The nortluu-n tier of cos., 
lying on the table-land N. and N. W. of the Al- 
leghany Mts., is less productive, and as yet but 
tliinly settled. 

In 1870 there were 174,041 farms in Pa., of 
which 01,268 contained from 50 to 100 acres; 
48,151 from 20 to 50 acres; 38,273 from 100 to .500 
acres ; 15,905 from 10 to 20 acres ; 152 over 500 
acres, and the remainder, 10,292, uniler 10 acres. 
The farms included 11,515,965 acres of improved

land (or 39.12 per cent, of the area of the state), 
5,740,S64 acres of woodland, anrt 737,371 of unim- 
proved land. The cash value of farms amounted 
to $l,043,481,.58-2, and of farming implements, 
$35,(558, 19(i. The estimated value of all farm 
productions, including additions to stock, etc., 
was $183,946,027 ; of orcliard products, $4,208,094 ; 
Of market gardens, $1,810,016, and of forest pro- 
ducts, $2,670,370. 

The farm productions were : Spring wheat, 
322,328 l)ush. ; winter wheat, 19,350,639 bush. ; rye, 
3,577,641 bush.; Indian-corn, 34,702,006 bush.; oats, 
36,478,585 bvish.; barlej', 529,,562 bush.; buckwheat, 
2,532,173 bush.; Irish pot's, 12,889,357 bush.; sweet 
pot's, 131,572 bush.; tobacco, 3,467,539 lbs.; wool, 
6,561,722 lbs.; butter, 60,834,644 lbs.; cheese, 1,145,- 
209 lbs.; flax, 815,906 lbs.; maple sugar, 1,545,917 
lbs., and sorghum molasses, 213,373 gals.; hay, 
2,848,219 tons. 

The live stock had a value of $115,647,075, and 
comprised 460,339 horses, 18,009 mules and asses, 
706,437 milch cows, 30,048 working oxen, 608,066 
Other cattle, 1,794,301 sheep and 867,548 swine. 

Manufactures. — No state in tlie Union has 
greater facilities for manufacturing than Pa., 
In its abundance of water-power, coal and iron. 
According to the census of 1870 there were 37,- 
200 manuiacturing establishments (the largest 
number of any state in the Union), against 22,- 
363 in 1860, using 6,230 steam-engines, of 221,936 
horse-power, and 7,603 water-wheels, of 141.982 
horse-power. There were employed 319,487 
bands, of whom 256,543 were males above 16 
years of age, 43,712above 15 years of age and 19,- 
232 youths. The capital invested in manufac- 
turing was $406,821,845, the wages paid amounted 
to $127,976,.594 ; the materials consumed had a 
value of $421,197,673, and the goods and com- 
modities produced of $711,894,344 (being second 
only to that of the state of N. V.). 

The following were the products of industry

Commerce, Railroads, etc. — Although Pa. is not 
a seaboard state, its great maritime port, 
Philadelphia, gives it easy access to and from 
the ocean and good facilities for foreign com- 
merce. In extent of exportation and importa. 
tion Philadelphia is the sixth port of enti-y in 
the Union. The only other ports of entry of 
the state are Pittsburgh and Erie. The com- 
mercial fleet of the state comprised, in 1872, 794 
sailing vessels of 103,7.54 tons, 434 steam vessels 
of 101,294 tons and 1,975 unrigged vessels of 203,- 
868 tons, making a grand total of 3,303 \ essels of 
408,916 tons. Of these Philadelphia had 2,786 
vessels of 317,480 tons ; Pittsburgh, 333 vessels of 
76,444 tons, and Erie, 84 vessels of 14,972 tons. 
During the fiscal year ended June .30,1872, the 
total value of imports from foreign countries 
was $20.515,3.53, of exports of domestic commodi- 
ties to foreign countries, $21,031,399, and of re- 
exports of foreign commodities to foreign 
countries, $.33,874. 

Of far more importance than the foreio^n 
commerce is the domestic commerce of the 
state, owing to the vast amount of its home 
productions (coal, iron, agricultural products 
and manufacl^ures). The natural highways of 
commerce are limited, and consist in thenavi- 
gable waters of Lake Erie and the Delaware R., 
which only touch the borders of the state. 
The means of communication comprise very 
complete systems of railways an<l canals. On 
January 1, 1873, Pa. had 5,787 mis. of railways, 
against 5,369 in 1872, 3,006 in 1862, 1.372 in 1852, and 
789 in 1842. The number of companies whose 
lines are wholly or partially within the state is 
11.5. Their paid up capital, as far as reported, 
was $393,670,886 ; the funded debt, $2,56,726,707, and 
the fioating debt, $25,038,026. The rolling stock 
consisted of 3,259 locomotives, 1,396 first-class 
passenger cars, 706 postal and express cars, 41,855 
freight cars,and 48,993 coal cars and stone trucks. 
The various companies own 472 machine and 
workshops, 1,873 depots and station-buildings, 
417 iron bridges, and 1,831 stone bridges. In 
1871 there were moved on the railroads 31,548,996 
passengers and 58,807,802 tons of freight, inclu- 
sive of over 31,000,000 tons of coal anil nearly 
7,000,000 tons of iron. The total expenditures 
of the companies amounted to $73,212,372, and 
the total receipts to $117,900,281. 

The principal lines are the Pennsylvania 
R. R. (354 mis. in the state, from Philadelphia 
to Pittsburgh) ; the Erie R. R. (only 46 mis. in 
the state) ; the Atlantic & Great Western K. R. 
(127% nils.) : the Lake Shore & Michigan Soutli- 
ern R. R. (44 mis.) ; the Philadelphia & Erie 
R. R. (287 mis.) ; tlie Alleghany Valley R. R. (140 
mis.) ; the Cumberlan 1 Valley R. R. (201 mis.) ; 
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western R. R. (115 
mis.); the Lehigh Valley R. R. (230 mis.); the 
Northern Central R. R. (142 mis.) ; the Oil Creek 
& Alleghanv River R. R. (120 inls.) ; the Penn-

Penal and Charitable Institutions. — Pa. nas two 
State Penitentiaries, one at Allegliany City 
and the other at Philadelphia. In both the 
convicts are subjected to solitary confinement. 
The three State Lunatic Hospitals are located 
at Harrisburgli,at Dixmont, near Pittsburgh, 
and at Danville, in Montour co. Among the 
many charitable institutions supported by pri- 
vate endowment, the Pennsylvania Hospital, 
with its insane department, and the Giraid Col- 
lege for Orphans, both at Philadelphia, are the 
most conspicuous. The Asylum for the Relief 
of Persons Deprived of theUse of their Reason 
was founded at Pliiladelphia in 1813, by the So- 
ciety of Friends, and the Woodbrook Insane 
Hospital in 18.59, at Media. The Deaf and Dumb 
Asylum in Philadelphia was opened for the re- 
ception of patrons in 182.5. • The " PennsjUvania 
Institution for the Instruction of the Blind " la 
also located in Philadelphia, and was founded 
by an incorporated society. In 1853 the Penn- 
sylvania Training School for Feeble-minded 
Children was organized at Germantown, but 
has since been removed to a farm near Media, 
in Delaware eo. 

In no state is there made more liberal provi- 
sion than in Pa. for the orphan children of sol- 
diers who fell during the civil war. In 1872 
there were 39 orjihan schools in the state, and 
tlie number of children therein was 3,720, while 
to November 1st, 1872, there had been expended 
for this purpose the sum of $3,467,543. 

Government. — The territory embraced within 
the present limits of Pa. was granted by Charles 
II. to William Penn, and was settled by Fng- 
glish Quakers under his direction in 1681. The 
State Constitution was adopted in 1776, and has 
since been amended in 1838, 1850, 1857 and 1871. 

In December, 1873, anew constitution, to take 
effect January Jst, 1874, except in certain speci- 
fied instances, was submitted to the people and 
ratified by nearly 1.50,000 majority. Under its 
provisions, the executive department consists 
of a Governor, elected for four years ; a Lieu- 
tenant-Governor, elected for the same time ; a 
Secretary of the Commonwealth, an Attorney 
General and Superintendent of Public Instruc- 
tion, the two first nominated by the Governor 
and confirmed by the f^enate during pleasure, 
the latter for a term of four years ; a Secretary 
of Internal affairs, elected for four years; an 
Auditor General, elected for three years, and a 
State Treasurer, elected for two years. 

The legislative power is vested in a General 
Assembly, consisting of a Senate and House of 
Representatives. Senators are elected for a 
term of fours years, and Representatives for 
two years. Tlie number of Senators is fifty. 
The members of the House of Representatives 
are apportioned among the counties on a ratio 
obtained by dividing the population of the 
state by two hundred. 

Any male citizen t wenty-one years of age, who 
shall have been a citizen of the United States 
for one month, who shall have resided in the 
state one year (or six months, if a former elec- 
tor therein), and in his election district two 
months, is entitled to vote. 

The judicial power of the state is vested in a 
Supreme Court, composed of seven judges, elec- 
ted for a term of 21 years ; in Coui-ts of Common 
Pleas, which shall have one judge for every dis- 
trict of 40,000 inhabitants, and who is to be 
elected for 10 years ; in Courts of Oyer and Ter- 
miner, General Jail Delivery, Quarter Sessions 
and Orphans' Courts, which are to be presided 
over by the judge of the Common Pleas Court 
in the same district.

♦Philadelphia, city and commercial metrop- 
olis of Pa.; is situated between the Delaware 
and Schuylkill Rs., immediately above their 
confluence, and on the W. bank" of the latter 
stream, in lat. 39° 57' N., and long. 75^ 10' AV., 
or 136 mis. N. li. of Washington, 96 mis. from 
the Ocean vi;i the Delaware li.,and 86 mis. S. 
W. of New Y'ork city. In territorial extent it 
is the largest city in the Union, being co-ex- 
tensive with Philadelphia co., and having a 
total length of 23 mis., an average breadth of 
53-$ mis., and an area of 129}^ sq. mis. or 82,700 
acres. 

The site of the city is, in general, a level 
plain, extending from river to river, with suf- 
ficient elevation in the center to admit of 
easy drainage, but falling off in the southern 
part into monotonous alluvial flats, and rising 
in the northern part and W. of the Schuylkill 
into an undulating and sometimes broken 
table-land. 

The city plan is rectangular, the direction 
of the streets corresponding with the cardinal 
points of the compass ; but exceptions to this 
regularity are found in the presence of several 
ancient thoroughfares ■which were built up 
before the plan was fully elaborated, in many 
of the angles of the rivers, and in not a few 
of the suburban towns and districts which in 
the course of time have blended with the city 
proper. 

Philadelphia was founded by William Penn 
in 16S2, and laid out in the succeeding year by 
Thomas Holmes, l)ut was not regularly incor- 
porated until 1701, when its limits w"ero the 
JDelaware on the E.. the Schuylkill on the W., 
Vine Street on the N. and South Street on the 
S., in all ten streets running E. and W. and 
twenty-flve running N. and S.; the central 
streets. Market and Broad, 100 and 113 feet 
wide respectivelj', havinjj extensive public 
grounds at their intersection, and each of the 
quadrangles into which they divided the plan 
liaving similar p.arks or public grounds near 
their centers. This area did not long suffice 
to contain either population or trade, but it 
became surrounded by thrifty districts, which 
in the aggregate were larger and more popu- 
lous than the city itself. These were all con- 
solidated in tlie year 1854, and became one 
municipality. 

Most of these district names still survive in 
tlie localities they designated, and are used 
in a conventional waj', when particularity of 
description is an object: thus, mention may 
be heard of BridesV>urgh, on the Delaware, at 
the mouth of F^rankford Cr., some 7 mis. N. N. 
E. of the State House, where a United Slates 
Arsenal is located, and which is the seat of 
many handsome private residences; of Frank- 
ford, on Tacony Cr., 6 mis. N. by FJ., with its 
Friends' Asylum for the Insane, and large 
manufacturing interests ; of Holmesburgh, 10 
mis. to the N. N. E., made up of pleasant coun-

try vesulences ; of Byberry, still further to the 
N. N. eastward ; of Nicctown, with its revolu- 
tionary memories ; of Bustleton, wiili its 
print-works; of Kensington, nearly N., with 
its din of macliinery and clouds of manufac- 
turing smoke ; of Kichnrond, N. E. on the 
Delaware, with its immense coal and ship 
yards ; of Germantown, 6 mis. N. N. \V., with 
Its palatial country seats, spacious lawns, 
picturesque surroundings, select society and 
historic associations; of Chestnut Hill, still 
further to the N. N. W., delightfully situated 
on a commanding eminence; of Schuylkill 
Falls, to the N. W.; of Manayunk on the left 
bank of the Schuylkill, 7 mis. N. W., with its 
mammoth cotton and woollen mills, furnaces, 
foundries and paper mills, and its millions of 
invested capital and annual products; of 
Roxborough, in the same ueigliborhood ; of 
West Philadelphia, the city's self in minia- 
ture, on the W. side of the Schuylkill, with its 
wealth, refinement and active growth; of 
Mantua, which is but West Philadelphia as it 
abuts on the park to the N.; of Hamilton and 
Haddington, pretty little bustling corners in 
the W. part of the great municipality, etc., 
etc.. 

The streets of Philadelphia running N. and 
S. are named W. from the Delaware " First," 
"Second," "Third," etc., and the dwellings 
and stores on the same are numbered N. and S. 
from Market Street. The numbers on the E. 
and W. streets begin at the Delaware and run 
W. Tlie heavy commercial street is Market, 
running W. from the Delaware the entire 
width of the city. The fashionable business 
streets are Chestnut, Walnut and Arch, .run- 
ning parallel with Market, and Eighth Street, 
running N. and S. The other active business 
streets, for general retail and wholesale trade, 
are chielly those running N. and S. Third 
Street, and Chestnut and Walnut in the 
vicinity of Third, are the monetary foci of 
the city. Locust, Walnut, Chestnut and 
Arch, W. of the business centers, are lined 
with fashionable residences. Broad Street, 
the central avenue running N. and S., car- 
ries its immense width (11.3 feet) through- 
out the entire length of the city, 23 mis. 
A gi'eat part of it is built up with stately 
mansions, presenting fine architectural ef- 
fects, and as it is the design of the munic^ial- 
ity to protect it against the inroads of busi- 
ness, to pave and otherwise care for it, it is 
destined to become a boulevard as renowned 
for splendor and fashion as it is now for its 
unprecedented length and majestic breadth. 

Outside of the central business area of 10 
sq. mis. Philadelphia, though laid out, is not 
densely built. It is preeminently the city of 
airy, comfortable, home-like residences. There 
are" few abodes of squalor and want. The ar- 
tisan finds a home as well as the millionaire. 
It numbers more dwellings than any city in 
the country, having, in 1870, 112,3(JI>, with an 
average of (i.Ol persons in each, while New 
York had but 64,01-t dwellings with U.72 per- 
sons in each. For this reason, aided no little 
by police regulations and climatic causes, it 
is the healthiest city in the countrj', as proven 
by a comparison of health records. 

From its position the city is intimately as- 
sociated With the eai'ly history of the coun- 
try. In no vague sense it has been the scene 
of most of those political departures which 
constituted the steps from Colonial severalty 
and dependency to Republican unity and in- 
dependence. Her merchants were among the 
earliest to pledge themselves not to sell Brit- 
ish goods until the Stamp Act was abolished. 
In 1774 the first Congress in America assem- 
bled in Carpenter Hall, S. of Chestnut and 
between Third and Fourth Streets. The con- 
vention that framed and promulgated the 
Constitution of the United States sat in this 



city in 1787. It was the recognized capital of 
the country from 1774 to 1707. Here wasestab- 
lished the first United States Bank, in July, 
1780, and here the first Mint for National Coin- 
age, in 1792. But the event of greatest mo- 
ment in the history of the city and country 
was the session of the convention that fram- 
ed the Declaration of Independence, which 
nominally ended July 4th, 177(5, with the pub- 
lic reading of the immortal instrument from 
a stand in the State House Square, by Capt. 
John Hopkins. The venerable buildin": on 
Chestnut Street, between Fifth and Sixtn, in 
which the convention sat, is a substantial 
two-story structure of unpretending propor- 
tions. It was built 1729-34. Its E. hall is the 
Hall of the Declaration. Its general appear- 
ance is the same as in 1776. and it has ever been 
a patriotic desire to preserve its interior ar- 
rangement and appointments so as to truth- 
fully reflect the surroundings of the " Fathers 
of our Country" during their momentous 
session. The presence of this shrine, with 
its sacred associations, together with the ac- 
cessibility and fitness of the city for the occa- 
sion, gave it early prominence as the proper 
site for the national ceremonies in honor of 
the hundredth year of the Republic. 

Philadelphia has many massive and thor- 
oughly appointed mercantile and manu- 
facturing buildings. The banking and sav- 
ings institutions, the insurance and com- 
mercial establishments, are built on a scale 
of extent and beauty, and with a complete- 
ness of adaptation scarcely found elsewhere. 
The county buildings, containing the halls 
of justice and offices of record and police, 
are, with one or two additions, identical 
with the Old State House above mentioned. 
The foundations of a new, costly and capa- 
cious structure, ample for every purpose, 
are being laid at the intersection of Broad 
and Market Streets. The national build- 
ings in the city are substantial, but hardly 
in keeping with liberal taste nor commen- 
surate with the wants of a populous and 
progressive metropolis. The Custom House, 
on Chestnut Street, is of coarse marble and 
was designed as a specimen of Doric archi- 
tecture. It was finished in 1S24, at a cost 
of $oOO,000. The Mint, on Chestnut Street, 
at the corner of Juniper, is of marble, after 
Ionic models. It was begun in 1829,; and 
cost $200,000. The Navy Yard, on the Dela- 
ware, is a series of store-houses, machine 
shops and floating docks, well adapted for 
the building and equipping of war vessels. 
The Naval Asylum, on the Schuylkill, founded 
in 1835, 380 ft. long, and built of white marble, 
is a tasteful and comfortijible home for the 
" soldiers of the sea." The Post-offlce, on 
Chestnut Street, is to be superseded by a new 
and magnificent building extending on the 
W. side of Ninth Street from Market to 
Chestnut, and fronting all three streets. Ed- 
ucational and charitable institutions are 
numerous in the city. Besides many and 
beautiful high school and grammar school 
buildings, connected with the municipal 
school system, there are colleges devoted to 
general culture and the learned professions. 
Of these, Girard College, founded by Stephen 
(jrii'ard, and built at an expense of $2,000,000, 
is a superb solid marble structure, or series 
of three distinct structures, of the Corinthian 
order, and constitutes the nrost liberal and 
unique charity in the country. The Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania, an outgrowth of the 
old Franklin Academy and Free School, has 
recently erected stately buildings W. of the 
Schuylkill, and entered upon a new era of 
usefulness. The Academy of Natural Sciences, 
on Broad Street, is a capacious but illy adapt- 
ed building, which, having long since failed 
to accommodate the largest collection of

specimens and the cotnpletest library of its 
kind in the country, is about to be deserted 
for tlie new and commodious structure ap- 
proaching completion on Race Street. The 
different schools of medicine sustain elabor- 
ately appointed colleges, giving to the city a 
world-wide reputation as a focus of medical 
and surgical culture. 

In 1871 the city had 3S0 public schools, 55 
grammar schools, 1 high school and 1 normal 
school. The number of male teachers was !<0, 
and of female teachers, 1,459. The avei-age at- 
tendance was 71,556. There was expended the 
large sum of $1,197,902 for school purposes ; 
$3'27,'249 were for teachers' salaries. 

The public or circulating libraries of the 
city are over 20 in number. Of these, the oldest 
and largest is the Philadelphia Library, 1'25 
South Fifth Street, founiled in 1731, and con- 
taining nearly 100,000 volumes. The Mer- 
cantde Library occupies a fine structnre on 
Tenth Street. It was founded In 1821, and 
numbers 90,000 volumes. The library of the 
Atheneum, on Sixth Street, contains 30,000 
volumes ; the Friends' Library, on Arch 
Street, 10,000 volumes ; the Law Library Asso- 
ciation, 8,000 volumes ; the Library of the 
American Philosophical Association, 31,000 
volumes; Library of the Franklin Institute, 
11,000 volumes ; the exhaustive Library of the 
Academy of Natural Sciences, 31,000 volumes, 
and the bound and unbound collections of the 
Pennsylvania Historical Society, 19,000 vol- 
umes. In accordance with a very liberal be- 
quest by the late Dr. Rush, a new library 
building is about to be erected on Broad 
Street, which, as designed by its founder, 
■will be surpassingly extensive and grand. 

There are over 100 hospitals and asylums in 
the city, whose extent and muniflcence are 
unequaled. Nearly every denomination has 
endowed its hospital or home, nobly second- 
ing the municipality and the state in the 
alleviation of suffering and care of the aged 
and unfortunate. The County Alms-house, 
a massive structure W. of the Schuylkill, is 
capable of accommodating HOO patients. The 
Pennsylvania Insane Hospital, also in West 
Philadelphia, is 430 feet long, surrounded 
by a park of 114 acres. The prison build- 
ings, Jiastern Penitentiary, on Coates Street, 
County (Moyamensing) Prison, on Passy- 
unk Road, and House of Refuge, on Parish 
Street, are imposing punitive and reforma- 
tory structures, unsurpassed for adaptation. 
The benelicial and social life of the city is 
architecturally represented by many costly 
buildings and richly adorned halls. Among 
these the Masonic Temple, on Broad Street, 
built of solid granite at a cost of $;3,000,000, 
and in a Norman composite style of architec- 
ture, is perhaps the most massive, imposing 
and adequate structure of the Order in the 
■world. The Union League House, on South 
Broad Street, is a tasteful brown-stone struc- 
ture, witli rich external and internal finish, 
and of equal magnificence is the marble palace 
of the Reform Club, on Chestnut Street. 
There are nearly 400 churches in the city : and 
■whether considered as to number, extent of 
accommodation or artistic effect, Philadel- 
phia is unsurpassed by any other city in 
this respect. Each denomination is repre- 
sented by a proportionate number of edifices, 
many of them monuments of the purest 
architecture on the continent, while the older 
and less pretentious often omimlm the rarest 
histories and richest associations of proprieta- 
I'y and revolutionary times. The dramatic and 
fljie arts are represented by several schools 
and places of amusement. "The Academy of 
Music, on South Broad Street, is tlie noblest 
structure of its kind in the city, and in inter- 
nal arrangement and seating capacity is not 
excelled by any building, similarly devoted, in 



the counti-y. The leading hotels of the city 
are the Continental, Girard, La Pierre, Colon- 
nade, Merchants, American, St. Cloud, Bing- 
ham House, etc. The two former stand oi> 
posite each other on Chestnut Street, and are 
commanding structures, with complete ap- 
pointments and large capacity. The La Pierre, 
on South Broad, and the Colonnade, on Chest- 
nut Street, though less capacious, are of even 
more effective architecture and equally 
suited for first-class accommodations. 

For municipal and general political pur- 
poses the city is divided into 29 wards, 4 con- 
gressional, 4"state.senatoriaiand 18 legislative 
districts. The government follows the usual 
formula of Republics, its executive power 
being represented by a Mayor, its legislative 
by Select and Common Council, its judicial by 
criminal, civil and appeal courts. The police 
force is necessarily very large, numbering 
nearly 1,000 men. Many of the graver munici- 
pal functions are perfoi-med by boards, com- 
missions and trusts, so constructed as to be 
presumably beyond partisan influence. The 
responsibility of most of these agencies is stu- 
pendous, and their management on the whole 
liberal and satisfactory. 

The city is bountifully supplied with pure 
■neater from the Delaware and Schuylkill ; the 
works on the former river being located at 
Kensington, pumping in September, 1873, 4,- 
747,193 gallons ; on tlie latter river at Fair- 
mount, pumping for the same month 26,642,541 
gallons ; at Spring Garden, pumping 4.196,200 
gallons ; at Belmont, pumping 6,073,920 gal- 
lons ; and at Roxborough, pumping 2,5S7",667 
gallons ; a total for the month of 44,248,,5-21 gal- 
lons, all of which is received in settling i-eser- 
voirs and thence distributed to the city. 

Philadelphia contains a large number of 
beautiful cemeteries, which occupy retired 
and picturesque spots and where nature has 
been lavishly adorned by art. Of these Laurel 
Hill, fronting on the E. bank of the Schuylkill, 
is one of the oldest and finest in the country. 
Its surface is highly undulating, and its 
adornments of monument, parterre, walk and 
evergreen, rich, classical and lovely. Scarcely 
inferior in sacred embellishment are the ceni- 
eteries of Glenwood, on Ridge Road ; Mount 
Vernon, opposite Laurel Hill ; Monument 
Cemetery, on North Broad Street; Odd Fel- 
lows Cemetery, on Islington Lane; Wood- 
land's Cemetery, on Darby Road; Mt. Moriah 
Cemeterj', near it ; and the many church 
burying grounds interspersed through the 
city. 

Beside the many attractive squares through- 
out the city, which the forethought of Pen a 
made secure against commercial intrusion, 
Philadelphia boasts the largest park in the 
country. It is situated on both sides of the 
Schuylkill, and contains 3,000 acres. It is 
under the control of a commission, who have 
laid out and ornamented its eastern portion 
with great care, and so as to take every ad- 
vantage of the topographic variety and won- 
derful natural attractions of the surface. The 
West Park, by far the largest portion, is not 
so profusely ornamented as yet, but its drives 
are more extensive and its natural scenery 
even more varied and picturesque. In its 
midst, contiguous to the line of two i-ailroads, 
is the chosen scene of the centennial celebra- 
tion, than which no spot could have been 
more ■wisely selected. 

Owing to the immense distances to be tra- 
versed in the city by merchants and artisans, 
it has elaborated, in obedience to public need, 
an extensive system of street railway car- 
riage, which has supplanted, almost entirely, 
the old methods of travel. These vehicles k 
render contiguous the most remote parts of 
the city. The outward commercial connec- 
tions of the city bring it into intimate com-

Of its rivers, the Schuylkill is spanned by 
many elegant bridges, aiid by the course of the 
stream, a commercial outlet is had to the 
ocean for medium-sized craft. The Dela- 
ware is crossed by numerous ferries, render- 
ing the opposite and neighborin'j towns 
readily accessible, while its course, with sufli- 
cient depth to float the largest vessel and 
•width to accommodate the commerce of the 
world, gives easy outlet to the sea and furn- 
ishes a safe and capacious home port. The 
foreign commerce of the city has at all times 
been valuable, and of late an exclusively 
American line of four splendid steamships, 
running to Liverpool, has been established. 
In ISl'i the commercial fleet comprised 779 
sailing vessels of 100,-2UO tons, '25S steam ves- 
sels of 5-2,334 tons, and 1,749 unrigged vessels of 
164,94(J tons. The total imports from foreign

value of her manufactured proilucts, as to the 
amount of power, number of establishments, 
hands euiployed,capital invested and material 
consumetl, Philadelphia is the flrst manufac- 
turing city in the country. It had, in 1870, 
8,184 establishments, in which were used 1,- 
eil steam-engines of 40,5'23 horse-power, and 
59 water-wheels of 2,6'J3 horse-power. The 
number of operatives employed was 137,496,

R., anrt of the Pittsburgh," Cincinnati & St. 
Louis U. U. It is 3'>i mis. W. of Philadelphia,

Chicago. The city occupies the triangular 
space" between the two streams named above 
and the hills on the E., which rise from 400 to 
500 feet above the level of the Ohio. It was 
laid out in 1765, on the site of Port Du Quesne, 
and was incorporated as a city in 1816. Two 
bridges connect it with the \V. bank of the 
Monongahela R., and live bridges with Alle- 
ghany City, on the X, bank of the Alleghany R. 
The population was, in 1850, 46,601; in 1860, 
49,217 ; in 1870, 86,076, making it the 16th city in

which run to all ports of the Ohio and Mis- 
sissippi Rs. The coal trade amounts to over 
$10,000,000 annually, and the petroleum trade 
amounted, from 1863 to 1868, to $5(>,000,000.

Iron Works of Jones & Laughlin) covers 17 
acres of ground, employs 2,500 hands, and 
contains 25 steam-engiiies of 2,750 horse- 
power. 

The glass houses are also numerous and ex- 
tensive, and employ several thousand hands.

Providence R. at the head of Providence B. 
and Narragansett B., 35 mis. from the ocean. 
The R. divides the city into two nearly equal 

Earts, which are connected by numerous 
ridges. The site is hilly and the streets ir- 
regular, but the general appearance is pictur- 
esque and pleasing. Near the center of the 
city is a lake one mile in circumference, in- 
closed with drives, walks and shade trees, 
whose presence adds cfTect to the beauty of 
the surroundings. The private residences 
were formerly mostly of wood, but these are 
fast being replaced by substantial and beauti- 
ful structures of brick and granite. The 
public buildings are extensive and costly 
granite structures, beautiful in design anil 
pleasantly situated. Here are numerous be- 
nevolent and disciplinarian institutions.

ton & Providence R. R., Providence & Wor- 
cester R. R., Providence, Warren & Bristol 
B. R., Hartford, Providence & Fishkill R. R., 
and Stonington & Providence R. R., all of 
Which contribute materially to its import- 
ance as an industrial and trade center. Its 
situation at the liead of a safe, easily accessi- 
ble, though not deep, harbor, gives it good 
commercial facilities Its principal exports 
arc cloths and other manufactured articles ; 
its imports molasses, sugar, coal, salt and 
iron. The manufactures of Providence are 
extensive and varied, annually absorbing a 
large amount of capital, consuming great 
quantities of raw material, and footing up 
over $80,000,000 worth of products. There are

of jewelry, many foundries and machine 
shops, and factories for producing ^ood-

immense accumulation of drift logs, some 
floating and others so water-logged as to sink. 
The United States government has expended 
large sums of money to remove tliis obstruc- 
tion to navigatioa,but without success. The 
iCwer end of the raft is now at Shreveport, 
but reached formerly as far down as Natchi- 
toches. Below the raft, lied R. traverses a 
fertile and populous countrj', and is inter- 
rupted by two small rapids just above Alex- 
andria, where the bluH's leave the river, and 
artificial embankments become necessary to 
protect the country from inundation during 
nigh floods. The entire length of the stream 
is aboilt 1,200 mis. The source has an eleva- 
tion above the sea of i,^^ feet, the mouth of 
54 feet. The area drained is 97,000 sq. mis. 
The principal tributaries of the lied R. are 
tlie North Fork and the South Foi'k. both ris- 
ing in the Llano Estacado ; the Washita, or 
JJlack, ll. of Ind. Ter., and the Washita li. of 
Ark. and La.

territorial extent, the smallest; lies between 

41° 18' and 42° 3' N. lat., and 71° 8' and 71° .W W. 

long., and has an extreme length from N. to S. 

Of il]4 mis., and extreme width from E. to W. 

of 40 mis. It is bounded on the N. and E. by 
Mass., on the W. by Conn., and on the 8. by the 
Atlantic Ocean. It has an area of 1,306 sq. mis., 
or 835,840 acres. 



The eastern part of the state is deeply in- 
dented by Narraganset B., which exteiuls 30 
mis. inland, has a very irregular outline, and 
includes several islands, of -which Canoni- 
cut, Prudence and Aquetneck,or Rhode Island 
proper, fi-om which the state has received its 
name, are the largest. Block Island, which 
lies otf the southern coast, about 10 mis. dis- 
tant, also belongs to the state. A long penin- 
sula extends into the northern part of Narra- 
ganset B., and divides it into two branches, the 
eastern of which is called Mount Hope B., and 
receives the estuary of the Taunton R. 

Surface.— K. 1. has a broken and hilly surface, 
but inclutles no elevations that might be termed 
mountains. The highest points are Mt. Hope, 
near Bristol, the Woonsocket Hills, in the 
northern part of the state, and Hopkins Hill, 
in the central part. 

Rivers. — The largest stream of the state is the 
Pawtuckct R., which empties into the western 
branch of Narraganset B., and is called above 
the falls, at the town of Pawtucket, the Black- 
stone R. The Pawcatuck R. is formed bj' the 
confluence of Wood and Charles lis., which 
rise in the southern part of the state, foi-ms 
part of the boundary between R. I. and Conn., 
and empties into Long Island Sounjl. The 
Pawtuxet R. rises in the northern part of the 
slate, has a south-easterly course, and after 
forming the boundary between Kent and Provi- 
dence COS. empties into Narraganset B. -\1- 
though these rivers are not large or volumin- 
ous, they have considerable fall, and aflTord 
extensive water-power. 

There are numerous small lakes and ponds in ■ 
R. I., which greatly add to the picturesciuenes3 I 
of the scenery. ' 

The Climate of R. 1. resembles that of south- 
ern Mass. and eastern Conn. The mean annual 
temperature A'aries from 49° to .51°, and Ahe 
amount of rain and snow-fall from 40 inches 
in the eastern part to 44 inches in the western. 

Population. —\l. I. was settled in 1636 at Provi- 
dence, by Roger Williams, who had been ban- 
ished from Mass. for his political and religious 
opinions. In 1638 a settlement at Newport was 
made by Wm. Coddington and others, and in 
1612 at Warwick, by a party under Samuel Gro- 
ton. These three settlements were united by a 
charter in 1643, under the name of the " Provi- 
dence Plantations." 

In 1790 R. I. had a population of 6!5,825; in 1800, 
69,122 ; in 1810, 76,931 ; in 1820. 83,015 ; in 1830, 97,190 ;

in 1870, 217,:M3 ; of whom 212,219 Averc white, 4,980 
colored, and 154 Indians. The number of per- 
sons born in the United States was 161,957, In- 
clusive of 122,626 natives of tlie state; and of 
persons born in foreign countries, .5.5,39(5, inclu- 
sive of 10,242 natives of British America, 1,200 
of Germany, 9,288 of England, 31,534 of Ireland 
and 1,947 of Scotland. 

The pop. of 10 years of age and over numbered 
173,751, of whom 82,824 were engaged in all classics 
of occupations, viz.: 11,780 iuagriculture, 19,679 
in professional and personal services, 10,108 in 
trade and transportation and 47,007 in manufac- 
tures and mechanical and mining industries. 

Mininfj. — The mineral resources of R. I. are 
but of moderate importance. Anthracite coal 
of middling quality is found in Newport co., and • 
about 10.000 tons of it are annually taken from 
the ground. Iron ore occurs in Various parts 
of the state, and building materials, as lime- 
stone, sand-stone, marble and serpentine are 
quite abundant. 

Agriculture. — The soil of R. I. is moderately 
productive, but in manj' parts too ro\igh and 
tliflicult for cultivation. The most ftsitile sec- 
tions are on the islands of Narraganset B. The 
total number of farms in 1870 was 5,368, which 
contained 289,030 acres of cultivated land (or 
34.6 per cent, of the area of the state), 169.399 
acres of woodland and 43,879 of uncultivated

the states of the Union ; but in proportion to the 
number of inhabitants or area of territory it is 
unrivaled. The total value of manufactured 
products in 1870 was $111,418,354, or somewhat 
less than one-seventh of the value of those of 
N. Y. and Pa. Eut, if equally divided, every 
Inhabitant of R. I. would receive $513, of N. Y. 
$179 and of Pa. $202.

required for school purposes is obtained from 
local taxation. The population of school age 



(from 5 to 16 years) numbered, in 1870, 28,702, of

In the 412 school districts of the state instruc- 
tion was given. by 711 teachers. The total re- 
ceipts for school purposes amounted to $463,041. 
A State Normal School was established in

and the Richmond & Chesapeake R. R., i;W 
mis. S. of Washington. The city is built on 
several hills on the left bank of the river, 
where it enters the Tide- Water country. It 
was incorporated in 1742, and became the 
state capital in 1779. Being regularly laid out, 
picturesquely situated, and containing many 
line private and public buildings, it is one of 
the most beautiful cities of the country. The 
State Capitol, the most prominent piiblic 
structure, stands on the brow of Shockoe 
HUl, in an open square of eight acres, is built 
in the Grecian composite order of architec- 
ture, and fromitsportico, adorned with Ionic 
columns, atfords a beautiful and extensive

Washington, made in 1788 Ijy Houdon, and a 
marble bust of La Fayette. Crawford's 
splendid equestrian statue of Washington 
stands on the esplanade leading from the 
Governor's house toward the western gate of 
Capitol Square. It consists of a bronze horse 
and rider rising from a pedestal of granite, 
and surrounded by the bronze figures ot 
Patrick Henry, Thomas Jeflferson, John Mar- 
shall, George Mason, Tlioinas Nelson, and 
Andrew Lewis ; a life-size marble statue of 
Henry Clay completes the decorations of 
Capilol Square. Other public buildings are 
the City Hall and the Governor's House, 
standing near Capitol Square ; the United

basement of which is occupied by the Post- 
offlce ; the Penitcntiai-y, situated in the west- 
ern suburbs, and the State Armory, situated

the city are picturesque, the most notable 
leatuie being ilie Genesee i'alls, tlie first of 
which is a' little N. of the center of the city 
limits. Here the river makes a perpendicular 
plunge of 95 feet, then glides off in a deep and 
rapid current tlirough a slate-walled ravine 
more than 100 feet deep, studded with flouring 
mills. At the end of this ravine it takes its 
second plunge of 20 feet, and further ou a 
third of 75 feet, the entire fall in a distance of 
3 nds. being 226 feet. But the natural sur- 
roundings are not more beautiful and interest- 
ing than the artificial. The nursery trade of 
Rochester, which for variety and extent is 
unrivaled in the world, has made of the su- 
burban districts a succession of beautiful 
nursery farms and gardens, clothed with 
every variety of fruit and ornamental tree, 
plant or shrub found in the latitude, while 
countless hot-houses, lawns, walks and par- 
terres reflect a richness of verdure, a glory of 
bloom and a profusion of sweetness which 
resemble enchantment. The material value 
of this interest alone is estimated at $2,500,000 
annually. The unlimited water-power of the 
river, whose existence has contributed so 
largely to the growth and prosperity of the 
city, has been very largely utilized by flour- 
ing mills and general manufactories. The 
former interest is simply immense— larger 
perhaps than that of any city in the Union, 
exceeding 1,000,000' of bbls. annually, and a 
consumption of over 5,000,000 bush, of grain. 
The other manufactures consist of boots and 
shoes, clothing, cabinet-ware, edge tools, iron 
castings, jiaper, machinery, leather, cotton 
and woollen goods, etc. The city is in water 
communication Mith Lake Ontario, A-ia the 
Genesee it., up which boats ascend to Carth- 
age, 2 mis. N., with the E. and VV. part of the 
state by means of the Erie Canal, which here 
crosses the river on a noble stone aqueduct 
800 feet long, and with the central and S. W. 
parts of the state and the Alleghany II. by 
means of the Genesee Valley Canal. Besides 
this it occupies the most conspicuous position 
between Albany and the lakes upon the line 
of the New York Central & Hudson lliver R. 
K., and is the S. terminus of Charlotte Branch 
of sauxe, the W. terminus of Auburn & Sus- 
pension Bridge Division, K. terminus of Buf- 
falo & Suspension Bridge Division, and N. 
terminus of Rochester Division of Erie R. R. 
Rochester was settled in 1812 by David Ro- 
chester and others, was incorporated in 1817, 
chartered as a city in 1834, and had in 1820 a 
population of 1,502 ; in 1830. 9,209 ; in IfilO, 20, 191 ;

from its contluence with American R., and on 
the Central Paciflc R. R. at the focus of several 
radiating roads, as the Sacramento Valley R. 
R., California & Oregon R. R. and California 
Paciflc R. R. It is the second largest, and in 
many respects the.most interesting, city in the 
state. Near it the flrst discovery of gold was 
made, and it was founded and built by miners 
Avitli* reference to their temporary conve- 
nience, but without any breadth of plan or 
view to health, beauty or comfort. Such, 
however, was its early importance as a base 
of supplies and commercial center, that it 
■withstood several inundations occasioned by 
the river breaking through treacherous levees, 
and arose more than once from almost total de- 
struction to new vigor. The Avholo site has 
been placed beyond danger by systematically 
raising it some ten feet above its former level. 
It is surrounded by a line agricultural region, 
and railroad connections make it the center of 
a lively trade. It is also in water communica- 
tion via the Sacramento R. with San Fran- 
cisco and the ocean. The State House is an 
imposing building. The city has many beau- 
tiful private and public buildings, churches, 
schools, etc. Here are located the western 
shops of the Central Paciflc R. R., employing 
over 1,000 operatives. Its manufacturing in- 
terests are large, embracing flour, woollen

Terre Haute & Inflianapolis R. R.; the Ohio 
& Mississippi R. R.; tlie St. Louis & South- 
eastern K. R., and tlie Saint Louis, Alton & 
Teiie Haute R. R. 

St. Louis was founded in 1764 hy Pierre 
Ligueste Laclede, a Frenclunan, who estab- 
lished- tlie Louisiana Fur Company under a 
cliarter of the French Governor-General of 
Louisiana, and was named in honor of Louis 
XV., then King of France. In 1780 tlie popu- 
lation was but GST ; in 1799, 925 ; in ISld, 1,400 ; 
in 1823, 4,800 ; in 1830, G,094 ; in 1840, 1(;,469 ; in 
1850,74,439 ; in 1800, 160,773, and 'in 1870, 310,923. 
This number, according to the census, in- 
cluded 198,615 natives of the United States, and 
112,249 natives of foreign countries, of whom 
59,040 were born in Germany, 5,366 in England, 
32,i'39 in Ireland, 1,202 in Scotland, and 2,7S8 in 
France. 

In 1872 the population had increased to 428,- 
123, and since the incorporation of the 13th 
ward exceeds 4.'5O,00O. It is thus by far the 
largest city in the great " Mississippi Valley," 
and the third city in the Union, being sur- 
passed only by New York and Philadelphia. 

Ill all classes of occupations there were en- 
gaged 108,691 persons, viz.: in agricalture, 810 ; 
in personal and professional services, 41,418 — 
including 198 clergymen, 92 journalists, 594 
lawyers, 495 physicians and surgeons, 949 
teachers, 19,504 laborers and 10,566 domestic 
servants; in trade and transportation, 28,219, 
and ill manufactures and mining, 38,244 — in- 
cluding 743 bakers, 1,342 blacksmiths, 1,673 
boot and shoemakers, 2,680 masons and stone 
cutters, 1,025 butchers, 4,237 carpenters, 1,632 
cigar makers and tobacco workers, 811 har- 
ness makers, 2,096 iron and steel workers, 511 
machinists, 1,627 painters and varnishers, and 
3,635 tailors and tailoresses. 

The city extends 14 mis. along the river and 

9 mis. inland, and covers an area of 3,274 acres, 
or somewhat over 5 sq. mis. The ground on 
which it stands rises in three successive ter- 
races from the river bank, the last of which 
is about 200 feet above the water-level. The 
streets which run parallel to the river are 
Front, Main, Second, Third, etc., to Fortieth. 
The streets running E. and W. intersect tfle 
others at right angles. 

St. Louis is one of the most beautiful cities 
in the Union, and with its busy wharves, 
wide streets, grand warehouses, factories, 
hotels, public buildings and sumptuous resi- 
dences, presents a splendid and imposing ap- 
pearance. The most prominent structures 
are the United States Arsenal, the City Hall, 
County Court House, the United States Cus- 
tom House and Post-office, the Marine Hospi- 
tal, Insane Asylum, Mercantile Library Hall, 
Merchant's Exchange, Pol5'technic Ins'titute, 
Saint Louis Life Insurance Company's build- 
ing, and others. In 1872 there were erected 1,- 
5.59 new buildings, of which-1,228 were dwelling 
houses. Lindell Hotel, the new United States 
Custom House and Post-otiiee, and the new 
Exchange, are in progress of construction 
and will soon be completed. 

The public parks cover a large area. La 
Fayette Park, about 30 acres large, forms a 
square which is surrounded on all sides by 
elegant residences. Shaw's Garden, the 
largest of the parks, is 330 acres in area, and 
includes an herb and flower garden of 

10 acres, with several hot-liouses for tropical 
plants, a fruit garden of C acres, where all 
fruits that will grow in this clima* e are culti- 
vated, and an arboretum of 25 acres, with 
ornamental shrubs and trees in great variety. 
The Saint Louis " Fair-Grounds " embrace 85 
acres, well set in grass and shaded with trees. 
Handsome buildings have been erected to 
accommodate visitors and spectators as well 
as exhibitors. 

The new bridge which spans the Mississippi, 



and connects the city with East Saint Louis, 
in 111., is one of the grandest engineering 
works of this or any other country. It is sup- 
ported by two immense piers in the river, 
and two shore abutments, and consists of 
three arches, of which the central has a span 
of 525 feet, and the two others of 515 feet each. 
The arches are 50 feet above high water. The 
piers rest upon the solid rock, the one 60 and 
the other 90 feet below the sand-l)ed of the 
river, and have been built of Grafion lime- 
stone to the low-water level, and of granite 
above the same. The arches have been con- 
structed of two tiers of hollow east steel cyl- 
inders, supporting the two stories of the 
bridge. The upper story, for carriages aijd 
foot-passengers, is continued by a viaduct of 
5 arches 1,049 feet W. of tlie river shore, and 
terminates in Washington avenue. The 
lower tier is continued by a double tunnel 
4,800 feet long^which terminates at the Great 
Central Depot. The approaches to the bridge 
on the HI. side have been constructed by the 
companies of the different railroads terniinat- 
ing there. The bridge is 2,230 feet long and 50 
feet wide, and had cost $7,043,603 when the last 
report, previous to its completion, was pub- 
lished. 

St. Louis is the most important manufac- 
turing city W. of the Alleghany Mts. Its iron 
industry is very extensive and constantly in- 
creasing. In 1870 it had 11 furnaces and foun- 
dries ; in 1873 four times as many. The iron 
production had, in 1872, a value of five and a 
half millions of dollars. Of lead there were 
produced, in 1871, 17,433,1.38 lbs., and of zinc, 
27,000 lbs. The Collier White Lead Company 
manufactures over 5,000 tons of white lead 
and 250 tons of red lead and litharge. The 27 
steam mills of the city produced, in 1871, 
1,507,915 barrels of flour ; the 25 breweries 411,- 
000 barrels of beer, and in tlie pork-packing 
establishments over 500,000 hogs were killed 
and salted. The lumber yards had in store 
nearly 120,000,000 of feet in January, 1871, and 
during the preceding year nearly 440,000,000 
of feet had been brought to the city. The 
production of wine is a prominent branch 
of industry of the cit.y, and the " American 
Wine Company " alone turned out, in 1872, 
100,000 gallons of wine and 1,000,000 bottles of 
champagne. 

The manufactures of the co. of St. Louis (see 
preceding article) were nearly all produced 
in the city, and had, in 1870, a" value of $158,- 
761,031. 

The geographical position of the city, in 
the midst of the Mississippi Valley, makes it 
the commercial center for the region extend- 
ing from the Appalachian to the Rocky Mts. 
It commands water communications (bv 
means of navigable rivers) of nearly 10,000 
mis. in length. In 1872 the steamboat arrivals 
on its wharves were 2,768, against 2,574 in the 
preceding year. The commercial fleet com- 
prised 138 steamers of 64,842 tons, and 81 un- 
rigged vessels of 33,185 tons. 

The commercial and industrial interests of 
the city are represented and furthered by the 
" Union Merchants' Exchange," organized in 
1862; the -'Board of Trade," and the " Mer- 
chants' and Manufacturers' Exchange." 

The taxable property had a value in 1872 
of $129.23.5,180 for real estate, and .$33,454,390 
for person-al estate ; together, of $162,6S9,.570, 
against *116,!582.140 in 1868. The bonded debt 
amounted, on April 7, 1873, to $14,080,.500. The 
total expenditures of the city administration 
for the year (gliding on April'?, 1874, were esti- 
mated to be |3,.549,4.'50, and the receipts *3,666,- 
000. 

The educational interests are under tlie 
direction of the Hoard of Public Schools, 
consisting of 26 citizens. The school fund 
amounts to three and a half million of dollars.

below the mouth of the Minnesota R., 9 
mis. from the Fulls of Saint Anthony, and 
practically at the head of navigation, 2.0S'2 
mis. from the Gulf of Mexico. It is the 
largest city in the state, and one of the oldest 
settlements of the N.W, , the first recorded visit 
being that of Hennepin, a Jesuit missionary. 
In 1G80. Eighty -si.x years afterward Jonathan 
Carver made a treaty there with the Indians 
near Carver's Cave. The claim upon which 



the present city is located was bought by 
Pierre Parent in 1837, and sold in 1839. In 1840 
the first church was built (Saint Paul's), from 
which the city was named. The city is pecu- 
liarly situated on three plains, the first level 
with the river forming the levee ; the second, 
upon which the main portion is erected, is a 
plateau whose edges toward the i-iver are 
Dlutfs of white sand and limestone ; the third 
is the prairie level above and beyond the hills, 
which surround tho main portions of the city 
like an ampitheatre. Upon these hills anil 
beyond are many fine private residences. 
Owing to the geological formation, abundance 
of building material is found on the spot. It 
consists of a soft limestone, which hardens 
on exposure. Though a young city, it has 
several fine churches, hotels, schools and 
places of aniuseraent. The State Capitol oc- 
cupies a fine position on high ground, but is a 
rather unattractive brick structure. There 
are two asylums in.thecity, a hospital, and 
near it is the State Reform School. In the 
neighborhood are pleasant drives, numerous 
lakes and places of resort and interest. The 
city is an important commercial center. Be- 
sides having its connections by the river.it is 
the N. W. terminus of the Saiiit Paul & Chica- 
go R. R., the N. terminus of the Milwaukee & 
Saint Paul R. R., the N. E. terminus of the 
Saint Paul & Sioux City R. R., the E. termin- 
us of the Saint Paul & Pacific R. R., the S. E. 
terminus of the Saint Paul Branch of the 
Northern Pacific R. R., the S. terminus of the 
Lake Superior & Mississippi R. R., and W. 
terminus of the West Wisconsin R. R. Its 
manufactories are extensive, and consist of 
planing mills, brass and iron foundries, flour- 
ing mills, boot and shoe factories, etc. In 
1838 it contained onl v thi-ee white inhabitants; 
in 1848 about ."iO; in 1849, 500; in 1850, l,irJ ; iu 
18150, 10,401 ; in 1870, '20,030. There are '21 news- 
papers published in the city, the principal of 
which are the "Press," "Pioneer '' and " Dis-

*San Francisco, city, port of entry and co. 
seat of San Francisco co., Cal.; occupies the 
northern extremity of the peninsula which 
partly separates San Francisco B. from the 
oceaii,and is washed on the N. by the strait 
known as the "Golden Gate." It lies In 37*^ 
47' 35" N. lat., and 122° 20' 15 ' W. long., and in- 
cludes an area of Sl]^ sq. mis., or 24,000 acres. 
The city is regularly )ai<l out.with streets inter- 
secting each other at right angles. Montgom- 
ery Street, running N. and S., is the principal 
business avenue; California Street contains 
the banking and insurance buildings ; on 
Front Street are the wholesale and import 
houses, and Kearney, Washington, Sacra- 
mento, Second and Third streetsare the retail 
business thoroughfares. The most elegant 
residences are in Stockton, Powell, Mason, 
Taylor, Folsom and Second streets, and the 
Chinese quarters are in Sacramento Street, 
between Kearney and Dupont streets. Tele- 

f:raph Hill, in the north entl of the city, about 
90 feet high, atfords a magnificent panorama 
over the bay, the opposite shore and the dis- 
tant range which terminates with the conical 
peak of Mount Diablo. The great sea-wall, 
now in course of construction, will extend 
along the water front of the city on the bay 
(8,340 feet), and will be 100 feet wide at the 
bottom. The top will be on a level with the 
city grade. 

'The principal public buildings of S.an Fran- 
cisco are the following : the United States 
Custom House, containing also the Post-offlce, 
on the corner of Battery and Washington 
streets; the United States Branch Mini, on

the gold and silver coin made in the country 
is coined; the new Mint, now ready for the 
machinery, will be a far more imposing 
structure; the United States Treasury, ou 



Montgomery Street; the City Hall, extending 
from Washington to Merchant streets, which 
will soon be superseded bv a new building on 
Y'^erba Buena Park ; the United States Marine 
Hospital, which has, on an average, about 103 
patients, and receives over 1,000 in the course 
of the year, and the Merchants' IJxchange 
Building, on Commercial Street, one of the 
largest and most impressive structures of the 
city. San Francisco has over 70 churches and 
chapels, many of which are line buildings; as 
the St. Mary's Cathedral (Roman Catholic), 
St. Patrick's Church (Roman Catholic), Cal- 
vary Presbyterian Church, St. John's Presby- 
terian Church, Mariner's Church, etc. 

San Francisco has as yel no large park, as 
some of our eastern cities ; but several pleas- 
antgardens and public squares. Woodward's 
Gardens, in the southern part of the city, 
cover 6 acres of ground, and contain collec- 
tions of ornamental plants, oranges, a hot- 
house for tropical plants, an aquarium, a 
menagerie, a large hall for concerts and a 
skating rink. Portsmouth Square, commonly 
called the "'Plaza." is on Kearney Street, be- 
tween Washington and Clay streets. Among 
the cemeteries may be mentioned Laurel 
Hill Cemetery, 2^ mis. W. of Montgomery 
Street, near Lone Hill ; Masonic Cemetery, 
near the same locality ; Mount Cal vary Ceme- 
tery, and the Hebrew Cemeteries " Gibboth 
Olom" and " Nevai Shalome,'' both on Dolores 
Street. 

The first settlement on the B. of San Fran- 
cisco was made in 1770, by two Catholic mis- 
sionaries of the Franciscan Order, 2 mis. S. 
of the present location of the city, and was 
named the Mission Dolores. Soon afterward 
a few houses were built where the city now 
stands, and received the name of "Y'erba 
Buena," or "good herb," from a plant abun- 
dantly growing here, which was used as a 
substitute for Chinese tea. In 1845 this set- 
tlement had 150 inhabitants. The discovery 
of the gold placers, on Sacramento and Ameri- 
can Rs., gave the first impulse to the marvel- 
ous growth of the city. Iti 1847 the name 
" Y'crba Buena" was clianged to San Francis- 
co, and the city was laid out in streets and 
building lots ; in the following year the popu- 
lation was 1,000; in 18.50, 25,000; in 18(i0, 56,802 :

rcctangolar streets, running nearly E. and W. 
and N. and S., every other street passing on 
either side of handsomely laid out and plant- 
ed parks or squares from 1]4 to 3 acres in ex- 
tent. The streets are closely shaded with

gusta, Milledgeville and Macon ; the N. E. 
terminus of the Atlantic & Gulf R. R., con-

the cities of Fla.; and the S. W. terminus of 
the Savannah & Charleston R. R. Besides 
these, the river is navigable as far as Augusta, 
a distance of 230 mis. Important as are these 
communications, the chief commercial advan- 
tage of the city is its accessible and safe har- 
bor. The commerce has increased largely 
■within the last decade. The foreign and coast- 
wise exports for 1S60 aggregated $17,798,922, 
while for 1870 they aggregated $.58,000,000. Dur- 
ing the year ended June 30, 1872, there were im-

bales of sea-island cotton (.'5!l92,183), and 294,473 
bales of other cotton ($27,637,634). The com- 
mercial fleet of Savannah comprised 26 sailing 
vessels of 1,106 tons, and 16 steam vessels of

embracing iron in its various forms, ma- 
chinery and general products. The city was 
incorporated in 1866, is handsomely laid out

Shasta Butte, or Mount Shasta, is one of the 
highest peaks in our country, and lies in Sis- 
kiyou CO., Cal.,at the junction of the Sierra 
Nevada anfl Cascade Mts. It reaches an alti- 
tude of 14,444 feet, and is at all seasons of the 
year covered with snow for 4,000 to 5,0o0 feet 
below its summit. Up to an altitude of 7,000 
feet the Hanks of this mountain are covered 
with heavy forests of sugar and pitch pine. 
At 8,000 feet forest trees disappear altogether, 
and a few stunted slirubs struggle for ex- 
62 



Istence to the height of about 9,000 feet, 
above which and below the snow line there is 
a belt almost destitute of vegetation. At an 
elevation of 13,240 feet there is a rudely circu- 
lar and nearly level space, evidently the 
bottom of an ancient crater, one side of 
which having been broken away, a portion of 
its rim still remains, forming the summit of 
the mountain. On this level area there are a 
number of orifices, from which steam and 
sulphurous gases constantlj' escape. The 
outline of Mt. Shasta, from whatever side 
A'iewed, presents a nearly regular cone, with 
slopes ot from 28 to 31 degrees inclination. 

Shasta, co. in Cal.; N. part. Area, 4,135 sq. 
mis. Pop., 4,173 ; in 1860, 4,360. The surface is 
greatly diversified by mountains, plains anil 
valleys. The main range of the Sierra Ne- 
vada traverses the E. part, and numerous 
spurs branch from it in a westerly direction. 
The highest peaks are Lassen's, Crater, Ma- 
gee and Burney's. A chain of the Coast 
Ranges forms the W. boundary of the co., 
and the central part includes the most north- 
erly section of the low plain which is tra- 
versed by the Sacramento R. This stream

lime, ammonia, magnesia and potash, and is 
emitted from orifices in the gronnd, varying 
in width from an inch to several feet in tli- 
ameter. The two most interesting of these 
springs are the Witches'Cauldron and Steam- 
boat Spring. From the latter a column of 
steam is ejected to a height of 300 feet. The 
valleys of the principal rivers — the Russian, 
Petaluma, Sonoma and Santa Rosa— contain

SOUTH CAROL,INA, one of the 13 original

C, on the S. W. by Ga., from which it is sepa- 
i-ated by the Savannah R., and on the S. E. by 
the Atlantic Ocean, it has the shape of a tri ■

SOTJTH CAROLINA. 



angle, is 240 mis. long from E. to W. anrl210ml3. 
•wide from N. to S., and extends from 3-2° to 35° 
N. lat., and 78^^ 35' to 83° 30' W. long. Tlie area 
is 34,000 sq. mis., or 21,7iJO,000 acres. 

Sur/ace.—Tha N. W. corner of the state is 
mountainous, being occupied by the spurs and 
the outlying ranges of the Blue Ridge, the main 
crest of which forms for a short distance the 
boundary. From the base of the mountains 
the surface gently slopes down toward the sea- 
shore. About one-half of the state is rolling 
and undulating, and corresponds to the Middle 
Country of Va. The S. E. half l)elongs to the 
Tide-water Region, is low, nearly level and ili- 
versified by extensive swamps,'which exten<l 
along nearly all the water-courses. A line, 
drawn from Hamburgh on the Savannah K. to 
Athens on the Saluda K., above Columbia, and 
to Chesterfield near the northern boundary, 
roughly marks the limit between the Tide- 
water and Miildle countries. 

Hivcrx.—S. C. is well watered by a number of 
streams, which all flow more or less directly 
from the N. W. to the S. E. The largest river 
system lying chiefly within the limits of the 
state is that of the Santee. This stream is form- 
ed by the junction of the Wateree li., the upper 
course of which is called Catawba ; with the 
Congaree, which is formed by Saluda and Broad 
lis. The eastern part of the state is drained by 
the Waccamaw R., which is formed by the Great 
and Little Petlee Rs., and empties into Winyah 
B. The Cooper and Ashley Rs. empty into 
Charleston B., and inclose the peninsula on 
■which the city of Charleston lies. The Edisto 
and Combahee Rs. empty into St. Helena Sound, 
and the Coosawhatehie R.into Port Royal Sound. 
The Savannah R., which is formed by the con- 
fluence of the Keowee and Tugaloo, Rs., flows 
along the south-western boundary of the state, 
separating it from Ga. Between its mouth and 
St. Helena Sound a broad belt of low lagoon is- 
lands extends, comprising Hilton Head Island, 
Port Royal Island, I^adies' Island, St. Helena Is- 
land, Prentiss Island and Chaplin's Island. 

The Climale, though warm, is greatly tempered 
in the eastern parts by the vicinity of the ocean, 
and in the western by the elevation above the 
sea. The isothermal line of (54° passes through 
the state from the northern end of its sea-coast 
to Hamburgh on the Savannah R. From this 
line to the S. the mean ttnnual temperature in- 
creases to 67°, ami decreases to the N. and N. W. 
toC0°inthe hilly country, and attains the mini- 
mum of -51)° in the mountainous district. The 
rain-fall is greatest in the cential portions of 
the state, where it amounts to 44, and even 52, 
inches per annum, hi the western part it is 
but little over 40 inches. 

2'he Vegetation is sub-tropical. The palmetto, 
the smallest of the American palms, grows 
abundantly is the lower portions of the state — 
along the sea-coast and on the river bottoms. 
The yucca, with its long and sharply pointed 
leaves, the beautiful magnolia, the live oak and 
many other evergreen trees and shrubs are also 
here of frequent occurrence, and the woods are 
characterized by the long festoons of the gray 
Spanish moss (Tillandsia usnoides). In the 
central parts pine forests predominate and are 
estimated to cover about 0,000,000 acres. 

PopukUion.—S. C. had, in 1700, 240,073 inhabi- 
tants ; in ISOO, 345,591; in 1^10,415,115; in 1820, 
502,741; in 18;)0, 581,1.'n5; in IfvlO, 594,398; in 1S50, 
668,507; in 1860, 703,708, and in 1870, 705,606. This 
number includes 289,667 whites, 391,650 colored 
persons, and 124 Indians. 

In regard to nativity the population was, in 
1870, distributed as follows : 697,532 persons were 
natives of the United Stales, including 678,708 
natives of the state ; 3,254 of Va., 8,282 of N. C. 
and 2.884 of Ca.; and only 8,074 persons were 
natives of foreign countries, including 2,754 na- 
tives of (iermany, 617 of England, and 3,262 of 
Ireland. 



In all classes of occupations -were engaged 
263,301 persons, viz.: 206,604 in agriculture, 34,383 
in personal and professional services, 8,470 in 
trade and transportation, and 13,794 in manu- 
factures, mechanical and mining industries. 

Agriculture. — The soil of S. C. is throughout 
of great fertility. The swamps, covering an 
estimated area of about 1% millions of acres, 
when drained produce extraoi-dinary crops. 
The pine lands are well adapted to the cultiva- 
tion of fruits and vegetables, and the remain- 
der of the state to the cultivation of cotton, to- 
bacco, Indian-corn, etc. The low sandy islands 
along the coast are very productive, a"nd yield 
the highly prized "long staple" or " sea-island 
cotton." Rice is extensively grown 'on the 
swamps. 

In 1870 there were 3,01 0,.539 acres of improved 
l^nd, 6,443,.'"51 woodland, and 2,650,890 other un- 
improved laiul in farms. The total number of 
farms was 51,889; the cash value of which was 
$44,808,763. Theestimated value of all farm pro- 
ductions, including additions to stock and im- 
provements, was $41,909,402. There were pro- 
duced: spring wheat, 317,700 Viush.; M-inteir 
wheat, 465,910 bush.; rye, 36,165 bush.; Indian- 
corn, 7,614,207 bush.; bats, 613,593 bush.; Irish 
pot's, 83 252 bush.; sweet pot's, 1,342,165 bush.; 
peas and beans, 460,378 bush.; cotton, 224.500 
bales ; cane sugar, 1,055 lihds.; wine, 13, 179 gals.; 
molasses, 436,882 gals, antl sorghum molasses, 
183,585 gals.; rice, 32,304,825 lbs.; tobacco, 345,805 
Ib.s.; wool, 156,314 lbs.; butter, 1,461,980 lbs.; hay, 
10,665 tons. The mild climale renders easy the 
raising of horses, mules and cattle. 

In 1870 the live stock had a value of ^12,4t3,.510, 
ami comprised 44,105 horses, 41,327 mules and 
asses, 98,693 milch cows, 17,685 working oxen, 
132,925 other cattle, 124,594 sheep, and 395,999 
swine. 

Minerals mid Mining. — S. C. possesses in its 
mineral treasures a source of much wealth, but 
thus far they are not developed to any consid- 
erable extent. Gold is found inthesilt of many 
of the rivers, and the Dorn Mines in Abbeville 
and Edgefield districts have, heretofore, yield- 
ded in some years over $200,000. Excellent iron 
ores in large deposits occur in Union, Spartan- 
burgh, Greenville and Pickens districts. The 
other metals found in the state are copper, lead, 
manganese and bismuth. Limestone abounds 
in Lawrence and Spartanburgh districts, and 
granite of the finest grain, equal to gray mar- 
ble, is frequent in the middle and upper dis- 
tricts. Materials for pottery, especially porce- 
lain clay, are found in many portions of the 
state. 'The finest porcelain "clays often lie in 
rich strata upon the surface, ready to the hand 
of the manufacturer. Between Aiken and 
Graniteville the beds are in many cases 60 feet 
thick. Phosphate marls, which furnish in a 
portable form an inexhaustible supply of min- 
eral manures, are among the most important 
resources of tlie state. They are composed of 
the remains of marine animals, and occupy a 
large portion of the lower districts of the state, 
extending from the Santee to the Savannah Rs. 
NVhen excavated they are treated with sulpu- 
ric acid, and may then be applied to the soil, 
whose fertility they increase from 100 to 200 per 
cent.- Large quantities have already been used 
in the state with the most satisfactory results, 
and are shipped to Europe, whei-e the demand 
for this valuable article is steadily increasing. 
Previous to July, 1872, 206,305 tons of phospho- 
rites, representing a value of $1,450,000, had 
I been exported, while the consumption in the 
state had amounted to 36,110 tons, of $250,000 ia 
I value. 

Manufactures.— In 1870 the state had 1,584 
manufacturing establishments, using 210steam- 
engines of 4,537 horsepower, and 700 water- 
wheels ol 10,395 horse-power. The number of 
hands employed was 8,141 ; the capital invested, 
$5,400,418, and the wages paid ainouated to

Jl.WSiVlS. Tlie materials used had a value of 
$5,855,73li, and the commodities produced of 
$9,aiH,981. The latter included cotton scoods of 
$1,5'29,937 in value; flour and meal, $3,180,247 ; 
sawed lumber, $1,197,005; tar and turpentine, 
$774,077, and fertilizers (phosphate marls), $125,- 
000. 

Commerce and Railroads. — S. C. has three ports 
of entry, viz.: Charleston, Beaufort and George- 
town. Their imports from foreign countrit-s, 
during the year ended June 30, 187'2, had a value 
of $74-2, 820, and their domestic exports to for- 
eign countries of $11,156,4U8, of which $10,183,350 
were for raw cotton. The commercial fleet of 
the state comprised 146 sailing vessels of 3,935 
tons, and 23 steam vessels of 2,671 tons. 

The railroad net of the state had a total mile- 
age iu 1872 of 1,290, against 1,007 in 1866; 848 in 
1856, and 204 in 1846. The principal lines are the 
Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta R. R. (195 mis.); 
the Greenville & Columbia R. R. (197J4mls.); 
the Northeastern R. R., from Charleston to 
Florence (102 mis.); the Savannah & Charleston 
R. R. (104 tuls.); tlie South Carolina R. R., from 
Charleston to Augusta, with hranches from 
Branchville to Columbia, and from Kingsville 
to Camden (242 mis.); the Spartanhurgh & Union 
R. R. (68 mis.), and the Cheraw & Darlington R. 
R. MO mis.). 

Wealth, Taxation and Indebtedness. — The to- 
tal taxable property had an assessed value in 
1870 of $183,913,337; ($64,418,662 for personal and 
$119,494,675 for real estate,) against $489,319,128 in 
1860. The true, or estimated, vaUie of tin; same, 
however, was $208,146,989 in 1870 against $548,137,- 
754 in 1860. The state debt amounted to $7,665,- 
909, but has since then very largely increased. 
The debts of the counties, cities and towns 
amounted to $5,409,320. The taxes, not national, 
■were $2,767,675, of which $1,321,837 were for state, 
$575,005 for county, and $870,833 for township 
and other communal purposes. 

Education. — According to the present school 
law, which was passed in 1872, the school age is 
from 6 to 16 years. The number of youths of 
this age in 1872 was 209,376, of whom but 76,322 
attended tlie public schools of the state. The 
latter numbered 1,913 (286 more than in the pre- 
ceding year), in which instruction, was given 
by 2,185 teachers. The foremost of the higher 
educational institutions is the University of 
Soulli Carolina, which was founded in ISOl, and 
attended in 1872 by 88 students. The establish- 
ment of a State Normal School is provided for 
by the new constitution, but up to 1870 there 
existed only a "Normal Class" in the Avery 
Institute at Charlestou. Other higher schools 
are the College of Charleston ; the Furman 
University (Bajitist), at Greenville ; tlie Claflin 
University (Methodist), at Orangcburgh; the 
Wotfard College ( Methodist ), at Spartan- 
burgh ; the Newberry College (Lutheran), at 
Walballa ; the Theological Seminary (Presby- 
terian), and the Lutheran Theological Semin-

Government.— The present constitution of S. C. 
was framed by a convention, sitting from Jan- 
uary 14 to March 17, 1868, and was ratilled by 
the people in April. It provides that every 
male citizen of the United States, of the age of 
21 years and over, who was a resident of the 
State at the time of the adoption of the consti- 



tution, or who hereafter has resided in the state 
one j'ear, and in the county in which he offers to 
vote 60 days next preceding an election, is en- 
titled to vote. 

The legislative power is vested in two distinct 
branches, the Senate and House of Repre- 
sentatives, and both together are styled the 
" General Assembly of the State of South Caro- 
lina." The House of Representatives is com- 
posed of 124 members, chosen by ballot every 
second year by the citizens of the state. The 
Senate is composed of one member for each 
county. The county of Charleston is represent- 
ed by two senators. 

The chief executive authoritj^ is vested in a 
Governor, who is elected for two years. The 
qualitied voters of the state elect also a Comp- 
troller General and Treasurer and a Secretary 
of State, who hold their offices for four years. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supremo 
Court, in two Circuit Courts, viz.: a Court of 
Common Pleas, liaving civil jurisdiction, and a 
Court of General Sessions, with criminal juris- 
diction only ; in Probate Courtsand injustices 
of the Peace. The Supreme Court consists of a 
Chief .Justice and two Associate Justices, any 
two of whom constitute a quorum. It has ap- 
pellate jurisdiction only in cases of chancery, 
and constitutes a Court for the Correction of 
Errors of Law. It is held once in each year at 
the seat of government, and at such other 
places as the General Assembly may direct. 

S. C. is divided into the following 32 cos., for- 
merly called districts: Abbeville, Aiken, An- 
derson, Barnwell, Beaufort, Charleston, Ches- 
ter, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Colleton, Darling- 
ton, Edgelield, Fairfield, Georgetown, Green-

TENNESSEE.

TENNESSEE. 



/SMr/ace.—Tenn. has a general inclination from 
the K. to the \V., but is considei'ably cHversiflecl 
by mountain chains, table-lands, valleys and 
low plains. Seven well-defined natural divi- 
sions may be distinguished : 1. The broad belt 
of the Unaka Chain in the E. 2. The Valley of 
East Tennessee. 3. The Cumberland Plateau. 
4. The Highland Rim; and 5. The Central Uasin, 
both in the middle portion of the state. 6. The 
Plateau of West Tennessee, and 7. The Missis- 
sippi Bottoms. 

The Unaka Chain, the summit crest of which 
divides Tenn. from N. C, forms a belt of paral- 
lel ridges, trending K. E. and S. W. Though 
continuous lengthwise, it is intersected by the 
deep and rocky cuts of the tributaries of the 
Holston and I'ennessee lis., which divide it 
into links abutting end to end. The links or 
ridges of the great chain are known by differ- 
ent local names. The highest range in the N. 
is called the Stone Mt., and two lower ridges 
W. of this are called respectively the Iron Mt. 
and Holston Mt. Stone Mt. terminates abrupt- 
ly near the S. K. corner of Carter co., with the 
massive lioan Mt., 6,306 feet above the sea level. 
In Washington co. the Unaka Range consists of 
the Bald Mts., supporting peaks of 5,550 feet in 
height, Buffalo Mt. and Rich Mt.; in Green eo., 
of the Big Butte Range and Paint Mt., both 
terminating on the French Broad R.; in Cocke 
CO., of the Great Smoky Mt., one of the most 
imposing ranges in the state, and tlie Chilhowee 
Range. The entire section between the Little 
Tennessee and Hiawassec Rs. is locally known 
as the Unaka Chain jjroper. In Polk co., S. of 
the Ocoee R., the range is called Fiog Mt., and 
the outlying ridge in McMinn and Polk cos., 
Starr Mt. 

The Unaka Kange occupies about one-half of 
the most eastern tier of cos. in the state. It is 
covered with forests except on the most ex- 
posed summits, from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above the 
sea, which are destitute of trees and commonly 
called "Balds" or "Bald Spots." In ascending 
a mountain with a "BaUl," tlie tourist soon 
leaves the heavy forests on the slope below ; 
the oaks, beeches and other trees begin to di- 
minish in size until he finds himself passing 
through low groves of old-looking dwarfs, often 
but a few inches high. On reaching the " Bald," 
the groves disappear and tlie treeless summit 
is spread out as a great rolling meadow, alive 
with stock of all kinds, feeding and fattening 
on the rich herbage. 

The Valley of East Tennessee extends from 
the base of the Unaka Range to the steep 
escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau and oc- 
cupies the entire width of the state from the 
K. E. to the S. W., joining the great valley of 
Va. in the N. and of Ga. and Ala. in the S. It 
is but a portion of the long trough wliieh ex- 
tends from the Hudson R. in N. Y. to the Coosa 
and Black Warrior Rs. in Ala., and within 
Tenn. occupies an area of 9,200 sq. mis. This 
valley is closely furrowed by parallel ridges 
and valleys trending from the N. E. to the S. 
W., as Powell's Mt. in Hancock and Claiborne 
COS., the Baj's Mt. Group in Hawkins and 
Greene cos., the Clinch Mt. in Hawkins and 
Granger cos., etc. The valley gradually inclines 
to the S. W., as indicateil by the course of the 
Tennessee, Holston and Clinch Rs. At Kings- 
ton on the Holston R. it is 1,218 feet, and at Cal- 
houn on the Hiawassee R. 648 feet above tide- 
water. 

The wide-spreading Cumberland Plateau ex- 
tends across the state and borders the valley, 
just described, on the W. Its eastern border is 
a nearly direct line, while the western is irregu- 
larly scalloped and notched by deep coves, sepa- 
rated from each other by long spurs jutting to 
the W. The average width is about 70 mis. and 
its area 5,100 sq. mis. The top of this plateau, 
though comparatively flat, is diversified lij' low 
ridges and shallow valleys, while the margin 



consists everywhere of sandstone cliffs and pre- 
cipices. The mean elevation above the sea is 
very nearly 2,000 feet, or about 900 feet above 
the East Tennessee Valley. 

Middle Tenn., from the foot of the Cumber- 
land Plateau in the E. to the Tennessee R. in 
the W., includes two natural divisions, the 
Highland Rim and the Basin. It may be com- 

Sared to a shallow plate with a flat rim. The 
asin, oceupj'ing the very center of the state, 
possesses in a high degree the elements of fer- 
tility and agricultural wealth. It has the form 
of an ellipse, and is on all sides surrounded by 
the Highland Rim. which attainsan average ele- 
vation above the sea of more than 1,000 feet. 
Large portions of the riin consist of " barrens," 
with a thin soil, deficient in calcareous matter ; 
while others are fertile, though not compara- 
ble to the rich alluvions of the Basin. A singu- 
lar feature of the rim is the "sink-holes" with 
which the surface is indented. They are hop- 
per-shaped cavities, fi-om 10 to 100 yards in 
diameter. Their presence indicates under- 
ground streams and caverns. 

Western Tenn., from the fertile valley of the 
lower course of the Tennessee R. to tlie bottom- 
lands of the Mississippi R., is a great table-land 
8,850 sq. mis. large, and in the mean from 500 to 
600 feet above the sea level. The western es- 
carpment forms a line of "bluffs," which, at 
several points between Memphis and Fulton, 
abut on the bank of tlie Mississippi R., but gen- 
erally rise at the distance of several miles from 
it, leaving a belt of rich alluvial bottom-lands, 
which is lower than the river at high-water, 
and hence subject to inuntlation. 

Thns it will be seen that the state presents 
every variety of surface structure and scenery 
— mountains of imposing grandeur in tlieE., 
broad low plains of the greatest fertility in the 
Valley of East Tennessee and the Ceniral Ba- 
sin, undulating plateaus of vai'jing height and 
but moderate productiveness in various parts, 
and lastlj' inexhaustible bottom-lands along the 
great water-courses. 

Jiivers.— The rivers of Tenn. are, without ex- 
ception, direct or indirect tributaries of the 
Mississippi R. The Obion, Forked Deer, Hat- 
cliie and Loosahatehee Rs. drain the western 
table-land and join the part of the Mississippi 
R. which forms the boundary of the state. The 
Cumberland R. enters Jackson co. from Ky., 
flows through the Highland Rim and the Basin 
of Middle Tennessee, and leaves the state in 
Stewart co. Its largest branches are Caney 
Fork and Stone's R. The Tennessee R., which 
has given its name to the state, flows through 
the eastern part in a southerly direction, aiul 
after describing a great curve in Ala. ti'averses 
the western part from the S. to the N. It is 
formed by the confluence, near Kingston, of 
the Holston and the Clinch Rs. These large 
streams enter Tenn. from Va., like the Powells 
R., an affluent of the Clinch R. The Holston 
and the Tennessee Rs. receive a number of tri- 
butaries from, the E., which rise in tlio Blue 
Ridge of N. C. and burst through deep cuts or 
gaps of the Unaka Range. They are the Wa- 
tauga, the French Broad, with tlie Nollichuc- 
ky, and Big Pigeon ; the Little Ttmnessee and 
the Hiawassee, with the Ocoee. The Big Eme- 
ry and Sequatchee Rs. enter the Tennessee R. 
from the Cumberland Plateau. The affluents 
of the lower course of the Tennessee R. are the 
Flint, Elk, Shoal and Duck Rs. The last named 
is the largest, has a westerly course and drains 
the Central Basin. 

Climate. — Tenn. is not subject to great ex- 
tremes of climate. The winter is usually so 
mild that herbage is green and cattle can graze 
with but little interruption from cold and snow 
during all the months. Many shrubs, which in 
the northern states lose their foliage, retain it 
here the year round. The mean annual temper- 
ature along the parallel passing through the 



TENNESSEE.

TENNESSEE. 



center of the state is not far from 57° in the Val- 
ley of East Tennessee, 58° in Middle and 59° 5' or 
60* in West Tennessee. Tills difference of tem- 
perature is partly due to the difference in ele- 
vation. The mean temperature of summer is 
in Knoxville, 73^ 6' ; in Lebanon, 75° 9' ; in Nash- 
ville, 77° 3', and in Memphis, 78° 1'. The temper- 
ature during winter rarelj' falls below zero. 
The lowest clcgree reported is 1.3° 8' below zero 
in Lebanon, observed in Januarj-, 18.i'2. The an- 
nual rain-fall in inches is at Knoxville. 4i^4 ! 'i* 
Lebanon, 431^; at Nashville, 55, and at Glen- 
wood 44. This is less than the states farther 
south receive, but in general, the supply of 
moisture is amply sufficient for the purposes 
of farming. Temporary droughts are not in- 
frequent (luring the summer season. 

Popvlalion. — The earliest settlements within 
the limits of the state were made in 17S)8 by 
emigrants from N. C. In 1790 the population 
-was 35,091 ; in 1800, 105,60-2 ; in 1810, 2(il,7'27 ; in 18-20, 
4'2'2,771 ; in 1830, 081,904; In 1840, 8-29,210; in 1850, 
1,00-2,717; in 1860, 1,109,801, and in 1870, l,-2.>8,5-20. 
Tliis last number includes 9.36,119 whites, 3-2-2,331 
colored persons, and 70 Indians. 

According to nativity the population was dis- 
ti'ibuted as follows: Born in the United States 
were 1,239.'204, including 1,027,627 natives of the 
state ; 43.397 of Va. ami W. Va., 13,854 of S. C, 
4,074 of Pa., 4,4-20 of Ohio, 42,110 of N. C, 3,002 of 
N. Y., 3,-262 of Mo., 1.5,451 of Miss., 19,867 of Ky., 
1,835 of Ind., 2,451 of 111., 18,021 of Ga., 2,977 of 
Ark. and 20,217 of Ala. In foreign countries were 
born 19.316 persons, viz.: in British America, 
587; in Germany, 4,539 ; in England, 2,085 and in 
Ireland, 8,048. 

In all classes of occupations there were enga- 
ged 367,987 persons (out of 890,872 persons over 10 
years of age) viz.: in agriculture, ■267,0-20 ; in pro- 
fessional antl personal services, 54,396; in trade 
and transportation, 17,510, and in manufactures 
and mechanical and niining industries, 29,061. 

Mining and Minerals. — The most valuable 
mineral treasures of the state are coal and iron. 
The coal measures form the top of the Cumber- 
land Plateau and are co-extensive with it in 
area. In fact, the two go together, and the pla- 
teau owes its existence and preservation to the 
hard, weather-resisting rocks of the coal meas- 
ures. Almost everywhere seams of coal maj- 
be seen cropping out near the top of the escarp- 
ment of the plateau. The hard rocks of the 
coal-formation, when elevated and approxi- 
mately horizontal, are plateau making. Had 
they been otherwise than hard, or had they 
been common limestones or shales, rocks that 
air, water and frost can with comparative ease 
disintegrate and dissolve, tlie table-land region 
would have been reduced long since to the gen- 
, oral level of the valleys and plains around it. 
The coal of Tenn. is bituminous and varies con- 
siderably in quality and value; but the quan- 
tity is such that it may be said to be ine.xhaust- 
ible. The variety and the amount of iron ore 
in Tenn., its excellent quality, its favorable con- 
ditions for the economical manufacture of iron, 
make the state one of the best iron-producing 
regions in tlie country. Limonite, hematite ana 
magnetite iron ores are found along the western 
ridges of the Unaka Mts.: while beds of dye- 
stone ores skirt the eastern base of the Cum- 
herlaiut Plateau. The western iron region oc- 
cupies a belt of the highlands along the lower 
Teimessee and a part of its valley. To this re- 
gion belong the Cumberland Iron Works, in 
St.ewai't CO., which embrace over 111 sq. nils, of 
territory, with numerous exposures of excel- 
lent ore^ chiefly peroxyd. Copper is found only 
in the Ducktown District, formiu" the S. L. 
corner of the state. Ores of lead ami zinc occur 
at numerous points in East and Middle Tenn., 
but most frequently in unimportant quantities. 
Small amounts of gold have been founil in S. E. 
Tenn. The varieties of marble which are quar- 
ried in various parts of the state are famous for 



their beauty. Black and dai-k blue marble, 
.sometimes "having white reticulating veins, 
occurs in the extreme eastern cos. ; reddish 
variegated marble in Henry co., and white fos- 
siliferous marble near Knoxville. Other mine- 
ral productions are salt, nitre, barytcs, mill 
stones and hydraulic limestones. 

Mineral springs are very numerous. Sulphur 
springs abound in all parts of the state, for ex- 
ample near Nashville. The summer retreats 
of the Cumberland Plateau, like Beershebaand 
Bon Air.supply chalybeate waters. The Jlont- 
vale Springs, in Blount co., contain epsom salts. 

^flfricK^^f/re.— The most productive portions of 
Tenn. are the basin, in the middle part of the 
state, the valleys of the eastern part and the 
bottom-lanils along the Mississippi and other 
streams. Indian-corn, tobacco and cotton are 
the staple productions. Accordingtothe census 
report, there were, in 1S70, 1 18,141 farms, of which 
42,862 were from 20 to ,50 acres, 27,778 from 50 
to 100 acres, lvi,9S7 from 10 to 20 acres, 18,806 
from 100 to 500 acres, etc. The improved land 
amounted to 6,843,278 acres (or '23.45 per cent, of 
the area of the state), the woodlaml to 10,771,396 
acres, and the other unimproved land in farms 
to 1,966,540. The cash value of farms was $218,- 
743,747, and of farming implements, $8,i9<),487. 
The estimated value of all farm productions, 
including additions to stock and improvements, 
was $8<3,472,847. They comprised 374,400 bush, of 
spring wheat, 5,813,516 bush, winter wheat, 41,- 
343,614 bush. Indian-corn, 4,513,315 bush, oats, 
l,l-24,.337. bush. Irish pot's, l,-205,683 bush, sweet 
pot's, 75,068 bush, barley, 1S1,84'2 bales cotton, 
3,399 lbs. rice, 21,465,452 lbs. tobacco, 1,389,762 lbs. 
wool, 80,930 lbs. flax, 134,968 lbs. maple sugar, 
9,571,069 lbs. butter, 3,6-29 gals, cane molasses, 
1. -254,701 gals, sorghum molasses and 116,582 tons 
of hay. 

The live stock had a value of (5*5.5,084,075, and. 
comprised 247,-254 horses, 102,983 mules and asses, 
243,197 milch cows, 63,970 working oxen, 336,5-29 
other cattle, 8.^6,783 sheep and 1,8-28,690 swine. 

Manufactures. — Tenn. possesses all the advan- 
tages to make it a busy manufacturing state, 
such as abundant and cheap coal, immense 
water-power, especially in the eastern vallej-s, 
and the most varied natural resources. In 1870 
it had 5,317 manufacturing establishments, 
(against 2. .572 in 1860), using 732 steam-engines 
of 18,467 porse-power. and 1,340 water-wheels of 
19.514 horse-power. There were employed 19,- 
412 hands, who received wages to the amount 
of $5,390,630. The capital iuvi^sted was i!;15.,5!t5,- 
295, and the materials used had a value of $19,6.57,- 
027, and the products turned out goods, of ^U,- 
362,636 in value, a sum which is exceeded by 
that of 19 other states. The princii)al products 
of industry, with their values, were as follows: 
boots and shoes, $665,522: eariiagesand wagons, 
$938,(i47; cotton goO( is. $906,570; flour and meal, 
$10,767,388; iron and iron mann fact uri-s, $2,089,- 
932; tanned leather, $921,497: curried leather, 
.$9-22,041 ; sawed lumber, $3,390,687; saddlery and 
harness, $6.50,071. etc. 

Commerce and Railroads. — Tenn. has no sea 
coast, and hence its direct foreign commerce is 
inconsiderable. Memphis and Nashville, on 
the Mississippi K., are the only customs dis- 
tricts, and had, in the fiscal year ended June 
30. 1872, 62 steam vessels of 12,700 tons burden. 
The railroads of the state had a length of 112 
mis. in 1851, of 1,2.53 mis. in 18()1 and of 1,5-20 mis. 
in 1871. The principal lines are the East Ten- 
nessee, Virginia & Georgia It. H.. which inter- 
sects the valley of E. Tenn from N. E. to S. W., 
and is 200 mis. long; the Nashville & Chatta- 
nooga R. II. (173 mis.); the Nashville, Menii>his 
& St. Louis U. 11., from Nashville t«) Hickman, 
Ky. (172V^ mis.) ; the Tennessee & Pacifle It. It., 
from Nashville to Knoxville (180 mis., of which 
31 mis. are in operation); the Winchester & 
Alabaman. It., from I)eelier<l to Fay<'tteville 
(3'J mis.) ; the McMiuuvillo & Manchester It. It.,

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— The assessed 
value of real estate was, in 1870, $i23,035,375, of 
personal property ; $30,746,786, or of both to- 
gether, $253,782,161, against $3S-.>,495,'200 in 1860. 
The estimated or true value of real and per- 
sonal estate in 1870 was $498,237, 724, against $493,- 
903,892 in 1860 and $201,24(),686 in 1830. 

The taxation, not national, was $3,381,579, of 
which $1,056,231 was for state taxes, $1,302,836 for 
county taxes. During the fiscal year of 1872 the 
total receipts of the treasury ha(l been $2,420,0'.)1 
and the total disbursejnents, $2,432,858, exhibit- 
ing an excess of disbursements of $12,767. 

The state debt in 1870 amounted to $38,539,802, 
for $31,892,144 of which bonds had been issued ; 
the county debts amounted to $-',729,659 and the 
town, city, etc., debts to $7,557,730. The bonded 
debt of the state, with the unpaid coupons ad- 
ded, was, on Jan. 1, 1873, $30,632,201. This suui, 
liowever, was reduced to $21,362,654 by the state 
lieu upon solveut roads and the proceeds of the 
sales of delmquent roads. 

Education. — After the late war laws for the 
establishment and regulation of public schools 
were passed, and several times amended. Of 
the 94 COS. of the state but 23 had organized 
public schools, up to 1872, according to those 
laws ; some of the others were moving in the 
right direction, but apathy prevailed in the 
majoritj' of the cos. The census of 1870 reports 
2,794 schools in the state, with 2,440 male teach- 
ers. 1,147 female teachers, 65,979 male pupils and 
59,852 female pupils. 

The principal higher institutions of educa- 
tion are the University of Nashville, organized 
In 1806 and having 270 students in 1871 ; tlie East 
Tennessee University, at Knoxville, organized 
in 1807 ; the Central Tennessee College, at 
Nashville, organized in 1866. and having, in 1871, 
226students ; the Lookout Mountain Institution, 
■ organized in 1866; the Fisk University, at Nash- 
ville, for colored students, organized in 1867, 
and, the East Tennessee Wesleyan University, 
at Athens, organized in 1867. 

The Press ot Tenn. comprised, in 1870,91 news- 
papers and periodicals, which had a circulation 
of 225,925. The number of dailies was 13, of 
weeklies 65 and of monthlies 8. 

The Principal Charitable Instilvtions ai-e the 
Institution lor the Deaf and Dumb, at Knox- 
ville, the Institution for the Blind and the Hos- 
pital for the Insane, at Nashville. The State 
Penitentiary, at Nashville, went into operation 
in 1831. 

Government. — Tenn. originally formed piirt of 
N. C, but was ceded to the United States in 
1784. A constitution was adopted in 1796, and 
in June the same year the state was admitted 
into the Union. By an act passed Nov. 15, 1869, 
a convention was directed to be called for re- 
vising the constitution. It was duly elected, 
met at Nashville in January, 1870, and com- 
pleted its labors in February. The new consti- 
tution then framed was ratified by a popular 
vote in March, 1870, and is now in force.

TEXAS, tlie largest state of the Union and 
one of tlie southern states ; is bounded on the 
S. W. by arexico, on the S. E. by the Gulf of 
Mexico, on the E. by Ark. and La., on the N. 
by Ind. Ter. and on the W. by New Mex. Ter. 
The Rio Grande separates it from Mexico, the 
Red River from Ind. Ter. and Ark., and the Sa- 
bine R. partly from La. It extends from 25° 
51' to 3ii° 30' N. lat., and from 93° 31' to 10(3° 43' W. 
lonpf., and has an area of 274,353 sq. mis. or 175,- 
«5S7,840 acres. 

Surface. — Tex. includes every variety of sur- 
face : low plains, rolling prairies, fertile and 
picturesque valleys, arid table-lands and lofty 
mountain ranges. The surface gently rises 
from the low gulf coast toward the W., until it 
culminates in the mountains between the Rio 
Grande and Pecos Rs. The coast is everywhere 
low and sandy. It resembles that of the other 
southern states in being indented by numerous 
lagoon bays, which are cut off from the sea by 
elongated and narrow peninsulas anil islands. 
Such are Galveston B., with Bolivar Peninsula 
and Galveston Island; Matagorda B., with the 
peninsula of the same name; Espiritn Santo 
B., with JMatagorda Island ; Ai'ansas B., with 
its extension, Copano B. and St. .loseph Island ; 
Corpus Cliristi B., with Mustang Island, and 
lastly the long Laguna de la Madre with Padre 
Island. 

The low coast belt extends inland from 40 to 
60 mis., and is but scantily covered With vege- 
tation, which almost exclusively consists of 
impenetrable thickets, commonly calletl "chap- 
parals," of opuntia cactuses and various thorny 
shrubs. For a 150 mis. farther inland there fol- 
lows the prairie belt, which has a rolling sur- 
face, a highly productive soil, and is diversified 
by groves of live oak and deciduous trees, 
while the streams which traverse it are lined 
with well-timbered bottoms. Beyond the prai- 
ries the surface rises to a height "of nearly 1,000 
feet, generally with abrupt slopes and blutfs ; 
and thence westward continues to ascend to 
the arid and treeless plateaus, which attain 
their greatest elevation in the Llano Estacado, 
or Staked Plain. 

The region between the Rio Grande and the 
Pecos R. is occupied by tlie most southerly 
chains of the Rocky Mts. and the intervening 
desert valleys. Here are the Guadalupe Mts., 
which enter Tex. from N. Mex. Ter.; the broad 
r.angeof the Apache Mts., itself consisting of 
several parallel chains and crests; the Hueco 
Mts., Eagle Mts., Sierra Blanca and others as 
yet but imperfectly explored. The elevation 
of the following places indicates the general 
slope of the country : Goliad, 50 feet ; Gonzales, 
150 feet; Bonham. 435 feet; Webberville, 394 
feet; Austin, 650 feet: San Antonio, GOO feet; 
Sisterdale, 1,000 feet ; Fort Inge, in Uvalde co., 
845 feet; Fort Clark, in Kinnev co., 1,000 feet; 
Fort Davis, in Presidio co., 4,700 feet, and Fort 
Bliss, on the Rio Grande in El Paso co., 3,830 
feet. 

Rivers.— Tex. is well watered bv several large 
streams, which rise on or near the western 
table-lands and intersect the state in a general 
N. W. and S. E. direction. The Red R, which 
forms part of the northern boundarv. rises in 
the Llano Estacado and receives in Tex. only 
small tributaries. The Sabine R. with its afflu- 
ent, the Neches, drains the N. E. part of the 
state. Trinity R. rises in the N. part and emp- 
ties into Galveston B. The Brazos rises with 
several forks on the Llano Estacado and emp- 
ties into the Gulf of Mexico near the S. W. end 
of Galveston B. The Colorado R. intersects the 
center of the state and empties into Matagorda 
B. The Guadalupe and San Antonio Rs. drain 
a beautiful section of Southern Tex. and unite 
a short distance from San Antonio B. The 
Kueces R. rises in Bexar Territory and empties 



into Corpus Christ! B. The Rio Grande flows 
along the south-western boundary and empties 
into the Gulf of Mexico S. of the Laguna de la 
Madre. It is a turbid stream and receives but 
few tributaries in Tex., of which the Pecos and 
the San Pedro or Devil's R. are the most im- 
portant. None of the Texan rivers are naviga- 
ble except during high water and then only for 
comparatively short distances. 

Climate and Vegetation.— The climate, though 
warm, is free from extremes, being tempered 
in the eastern portions of the slate by the vi- 
cinity of the ocean, and in the western by the 
elevation above the sea of the surface. " The 
isothermal curve of 68° passes through the 
state from the mouth of the Sabine R. to that 
of the Pecos R. The mean annual tempeiature 
increases thence toward the S., reaching 7.5° 
near Brownsville; and decreases toward the N. 
until it falls to less than 56° in the Llano Esta- 
cado. During the summer season the prevail- 
ing winds blow from the Gulf of Mexico; but 
from November to February northerly winds 
are more frequent than ail others, "and oc- 
casionally culminate in the much-dreaded 
" Northers," \»liich generally blow for three 
days with great force and searching keenness. 
The amount of precipitation (rain andsnow) 
is on the whole not abundant. Rarely does it 
exceed 40 inches per annum in the eastern part 
of the state, and decreases in a north-westerly 
direction to 20 inches in the Pecos Valley, and 
even to 12 inches and less in the upper valley 
of tlie Rio Grande and on the Llano Estacado. 
Slimmer droughts are of frequent occurrence, 
and in the interior often affect the crops unfa- 
vorably. But as streams of all sizes are 
abundant, it would be comparatively easy to 
supply the needed moisture by a judicious sys- 
tem of irrigation. 

The vegetation of a region so vast in extent 
as Tex., and embracing so many widely differ- 
ent physical sections, necessarily presents great 
variety. The lower parts of tlie state consist 
of prairies, which during the summer droughts 
are scorched and repulsive, but during the 
spi'ing covered with luxuriant grasses and bril- 
liantly flowering herbs. Along the sea-coast 
belt tiiey are interspersed with "chapparals," 
and further inland with coppices and groves of 
woodi so as to resemble vast natural parks 
with plantations of trees. The bottom-lands 
along the streams are generally well tiinljered 
with deciduous trees and evergreens, such as 
the live-oak, magnolia, palmetto and others. 
The northern part of the state is intersected by 
two belts of woodland, called the Cross Tim- 
bers, which are composedof post oak and black 
jack, standing so wide apart that wagons can 
pass between them in any direction, "riie Low- 
er Cross Timbers extend from the Red R., in 
Grayson and Cooke cos., in a southerly direciion 
to beyond the Brazos R. in McLennan co., while 
the Upper Cross Timbers, further VV., occupy 
parts of Wise, Jack, Palo Pinto, Hood and 
Erath cos. 

The arid table-lands and mountains of the 
western part of the state are covered with a 
scanty vegetation, wl'.ich mostlv consists of 
forms resembling those of northern Mexico, 
such as yuccas, mesquit shrubs and several 
species of cactus (the opuntia, tlie weird-looking 
cereus, the melocactus, the mammilaria, etc.). 
Texas abounds in wild animals. Buffalo herds 
roam in the N. W. parts of the state ; wild 
horses, or mustangs, feed on the prairies ; deer, 
wolves, black bears, foxes, peccaries, raccoons, 
hares and opossums, are met with everywhere 
in the less densely inhabited districts, and the 
cat species is represented by the puma, the ja- 
guar, the wild cat .and the "lynx. Ofl)irdsare 
found the wild turkey, pheasant, quail, snipe, 
different kinds of ducks and geese, the pelican, 
heron, king-flsher and others. The streams 
abound ill flsli, and their lower courses in alii-

still frequent. 

Popu!tilio7i.—Tc-x. -was settled at San Antonio 
(tlien called Bexar) in 1694 by Spaniards ; formed 
a part of Mexico until 1?*3(>, when it issued a 
declaration of independence and formed a 
separate commonwealth. It was admitted into 
the Union in l.s4o. In 18.50 it had a population 
of 'il-2,5'.y2 ; in 1860, of 604,-21.i, and in 1870, of Sl-',-'>79. 
This number includes 564,700 whites, •2r)3,475 col- 
oreil persons, 25 Chinese, and 379 Indians. There 
were beside 320 nomadic Indians in the state. 

According to nativity the population was dis- 
tributed as follows: 'Natives of the United 
States, 756.168, including 134,419 natives of Tex., 
51,435 of Tenn., 22,165 of Va. and \V. Xa., 17,717 of 
S. C, 1.877 of Pa., 2,052 of Ohio, 18,6.55 of N. C, 
2,873 of N. Y., 18,419 of Mo., 42,5.37 of Miss., 27.280 
of La., 17,813 of Kv., 2,783 of Ind., .5,854 of 111., 
41,206 of Ga., 1,934 o"f Fla., 23.357 of Ark., and 62,- 
224 of Ala.; natives of foreign countries, 62.411, 
including 597 natives of CritisU America, 2,232 
of France, 23,985 of Germany, 2.037 of Kngland, 
4,031 of Ireland, and 621 of Scotland. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 571,075, of wlio"in 237,126 were engaged 
in all classes of occuiiations, viz.: 166,7.53 in 
agriculture, 40,882 in professional and personal 
services, 13,612 in trade and transportation, and 
15,879 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing industries. 

Mining aiul Minerals. — Tex. is rich in mineral 
resources, whicli as yet, liowever, await devel- 
opment. Tlie mountain chains in tlie western 
part of the state include rich veins of the pre- 
cious metals. 'Coal exists on tlie Trinity 11., 200 
mis. above Galveston, near Nacogdoches on the 
Brazos R. and near Austin. Iron, salt, chalce- 
dony, jasper and excellent building materials 
(sandstones and limestones) are found in vari- 
ous parts of the state, which also contain nu- 
merous mineral springs. 

Agriculture — The eastern part of the state 
presents all the conditions of soil and climate 
favorable to farming, while the higher and 
more arid parts, with their nutritious grama 
and mesquit grass, are well adapted to graz- 
ing and stock growing. Immense herds of 
cattle roam over tlie extensive prairies, and 
the business of gathering and driving beeves 
into Ivans, for fattening, and thence transi)ort- 
ing them to the eastern markets, has long been 
very remunerative. It is estimated that in 
1871 nearly 900.000 cattle were thus driven out 
of Tex. The chief agricultural staples are 
cotton and corn. The tobacco which is raised 
In the eastern sections is of a superior quality. 
Along the coast are large tracts of land well 
adapted to the cultivation of rice and sugar- 
cane. In 1870 there were in Tex. 61,125 farms, 
against 42,891 in 1860. Of these 72 exceeded 1,000 
acreB in area, 305 were from .500 to 1,000 acres, 
6,268 from 100 to 500 acres, 10,890 from ,50 to 100 
acres, 24,620 from 20 to .50 acres, and the remain- 
der m('asure uuder 20 acres. The faruts included 
2,964,836 acres of improved land, 7,062,294 of 
woodland and 7,769,:i93of unimproved land. The 
cash value of farms was ^60,149,9.50 and of farm 
implements, $3.:W6,793. The total, estimated, 
value of fai'm productions, including additions 
to stock and improvements, was $49,18.5,170. 
The products comprised 66,173 bush, of spiing 
wheat, 348,939 bush, of winter wheat, 20,.5.54..5;{8 
bush, of Indian-corn, 7C2,663 bush, of oats, 208,- 
383 bush, of Irish pot's, 2,188,041 bush, of sweet 
pot's, ;>50,628 bales of cotton, 63,844 lbs. of rice, 
69.706 lbs. of tobacco. 1,251,328 lbs. of wool, 3,712,- 
747 lbs. of butter and 18,982 tons of hav. 

The live stock had a value of $;57,42.5,194, and 
consisted of 4'24,.504 horses, 61,322 mnles and 
asses, 42.s,048 milch cows, 132,407 working oxen, 
2,93;i,5S8 other cattle, 714,351 sheep and 1,202,445 
swinc!, 
, Manii/actitrcs. — There were, in 1870, 2,393 manu- 



facturing establishments iii the state, against 
983 in 1860, using 540 steam-engines of 11,214 
horse-power and 116 water-wheels of 1,830 horse- 
power, and employing 7,927 hands. Tlie capital 
invested in manufacturing was $5,284,110, the 
wages paid amounted to $1,787,83.5, the materi- 
als consumed had a value of $6,27:^,193. and tlMS 
commodities produced of $11,517,302. The most 
important of these and their values wtu'c as 
follows : Flour and meal, $2,421,047; sawed lum- 
ber, $1,960,851, and piicked beef, $1,052,106. 

Commerce and Railroads — The extensive sea- 
coast of the state has numerous harbors, facili- 
tating foreign commerce, which comprise tlie 
following customs districts: lirazos de Santi- 
ago, Corpus Christi, Saluria and Texas (in- 
cluding the port of Galveston). The mer- 
chant fleet comprised, on June 30, 1872, 238 sail- 
ing vessels of 4,976 tons, 41 steam vessels of 
7,956 tons and 23 unrigged vessels of 2.8h3 tons. 
There were imported, from foreign countries, 
goods to the value of $4,189,134, and exported to 
foreign countries, goods to the value of $13,004,- 
661, chiefly cotton. The overland commerce 
with Mexico is mostly transacted through the 
customs district of El" Paso, on the liio Grande 
K., and represents imports of $587,072 and ex- 
ports of $161,159. 

The development of the interior commerce 
of the state depends chiefly on llie railroad 
system, as the rivers offer but temjibrary and 
uncertain channels of communication. The 
railroad lines had, in 1841, a length of 28 mis., 
in 1851 of 94 mis., in 1861 of 392 mis., and in 1872 
of 1,078 mis. The principal lines are the Gal- 
veston, Harrisburgh & San .Vntonio K. R., run- 
ning at present from llarrisburgii toColnmbus, 
(85 mis.) and to be completed to San Antonio; 
the Galveston, Houston & Henderson R. R. from 
Galveston to Houston (.50 mis.) : the Houstou 
& Texas Central R. R., from Houston to the 
Red R., where it connects with the Missouri, 
Kansas & Texas R. R. (387 mis.), with a braiicli 
from Hempsled to Austin (115 mis.) ; the Gulf, 
Western Texas & Pacific R. R.. from Indianola 
to Gonzales (101 mis., of wliich 66 mis. are in 
operation), with branches to be constructed from 
Gonzales to San Antonio (65 mis.) ; from Se- 
quin to New Braunfels (15 mis.), an<l from Gf)n- 
zales to Atistin (65 mis.), and the Texas & Pa- 
cific R. R., from Shreveport-, La., to San Diego, 
Cal. (1,514 mis.), of which 6(i mis. are in opera- 
tion from Shreveport to Fort Worth. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.—U\ 1870 1 he assessed 
value of real estate was $97,186,568, and of per- 
sonal estate $52,.546,361, making a total of $149,- 
732,929, while the true or estimated value of the 
two kinds of propiu-ty was $1.59.052,542. against 
$:!(i5,-200,614 in 1860. The" total (not national) taxa- 
tion was $I.I29,.577, of which $589,:^i>3 were for the 
purposes of the state, $312,335 of the cos., and 
$227,879 of towns, cities, etc. The total public 
debt was $l,6i:j,907. In l.s72 (.'September 1) the 
total state debt amounted to $3,836,277. The leg- 
islature has authorized the creation of a debt 
for railroad purposes not to exceed $10,000,000 
in amount. 

Education. — The scholastic poinilation (be- 
tween 6 and 18 years of age) numbered in 1871 
aliout 235,000, Until this year there was no or- 
ganized school system of any kind in the state. 
IJy the law of August, 1870, each organized co. 
was constituted a school district, and the 
countj' courts were ex-offleio school directors. 
They were emiiowerod to divide thidr cos. into 
sub-districts, to locate school-houses, to levy an 
ad valorem tax on property, not exceeding 1 
per cent., to appoint a board o/" school trustees 
for each co., to appoint examiners and give cer- 
tificates to teachers. Under this law it is ex- 
pected that in due course of time the state will 
enjoy the advantag<'s of education for its youth. 
In .several cos. promising betrinnings in this di- 
rection liave l)een made. The public schools 
of Travis CO., for example, opened in 1871 with

35 teachers and 1,779 pupils,and in McLennan co. 
with 39 teachers and 1,7(J8 pupils. For the scho- 
lastic year ending August 31, 1S72, the legislature 
appropriated $501,000 for scliool purposes. The 
permanent school fund consists of $1,157,517 in 
railroad bonds, bearing 6 per cent, interest in 
gold, and several smaller sums derived from 
various sources. A large portion of the public 
lands of the state has also been surveyed and 
set apart for school purposes. 

The Texas Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, 
located at Austin, was organized in 1S5B, and the 
Texas State Lunatic Asylum in IStil. The Pen- 
itentiary, at Austin, was erected in 184S, and the 
expenses paid by the state up to J uiie 1, ISiiS, 
amounted to $-294,989. 

The press of Te.x. comprised, in 1870, 112 news- 
papers and periodicals (against 89 in 18tj(J), with 
a circulation of 55,t250. There were 1-2 dailies, 5 
tri-weeklies, 5 semi-weeklies, 89 weeklies and 1 
semi-monthiJ^ 

Gover nnient. — Tex. was admitted as a state 
into the Union in 1815, and passed an ordinance 
of secession on February 5, J8ol. After the close 
of the war a provisional governor took charge 
of the executive department in 18(;5, and called 
a state convention, which assembled at Austin 
in February, 1800. Under the reconstruction 
acts of Congress of l'8ii7, Tex. was included in 
the fifth military division. The state consti- 
tutional convention having re-assembled in 
December, 1868, completed its labors, and the 
new constitution was ratified by a vote of the 
people at the election held in November, 1869. 
In March, 1870, Congress adnaitted Tex. to rep- 
resentation upon the conditions that no citizen 
or class of citizens should ever be deprived of 
the right to vote except as punishment for 
crimes, and that no citizen or class of citizens 
should be deprived of the school rights and 
privileges secured by the constitution of the 
state. 

Every male citizen of the United States, of 
the age of 21 years and upward, without dis- 
tinction of race, color or former condition of 
servitude, who shall have resided in the state 
for one year, and in the co. in which lie otters 
to vote 60 days next preceding any election, is 
entitled to vote. 

The legislative power of the state is vested in 
two branches ; the one styled the Senate and 
the other the House of Kepresentatives, and 
both together the Legislature of the state of 
Tex. The members ot the House of Kepresent- 
atives, 90 in number, are chosen for a term of 
two years, and must liave resided in the state 
two years and in the county or town from which 
they are chosen for one year next preceding 
their election. The Senators, ."0 in number, are 
chosen for six years. Those elected at the first 
election were divided by lot into three classes. 
The seats of the Senators of the first class were 
vacated at the expiration of the first two years ; 
those of the second class at the expiration of 
four years ; and those of the third class at the 
expiration of six years, so tliat one-third there- 
of is chosen biennially. No person can be Sena- 
tor unless he be a citizen of the United States 
and a citizen of the state three years next pre- 
ceding the election, and the last year thereof a 
resident of the district for wliich lie is chosen, 
and have attained the age of 25 years. 

The executive department consists of a Gov- 
ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, 
Comptroller of Public Accounts, Treasurer, 
Commissioner of the General Land Oflice, At- 
torney-General and Superintendent of Public 
Instruction. The Governor and Lieutenant- 
Governor are elected for four years. They 
must be 30 years of age, citizens of the United 
States, anil must have been residents and citi- 
zens of the state for three years immediately 
preceding their election. The Secretarj' of States 
and the Attorney-General areappointed by the 
Governor, by and with the consent of the Sen- 
56 



ate, and continue in office during the term of 
seiviceof the Governor elect. The Treasurer 
of the state and the Commissioner of the Gen- 
eral Land Ofiice are elected at the same time of 
the election of the Governor, having the same 
qualifications as the Governor. 

The judicial power of the state is vested in 
one Supreme Court, in District Courts and such 
inferior courts and magistrates as may be cre- 
ated by the Constitution or by the Legislature 
under its autliority. The Supreme Court con- 
sists of three judges, any two of wliom consti- 
sute a quorum. They are appointed by the 
Governor, by and with the advice and consent 
of the Senate, for a term of nine years. The 
term of one of the judges expires exery three 
years. The Supreme Court has appellate juris- 
diction only. In criminal cases no appeal is 
allowed to the Supreme Court, unless some 
judge thereof, upon inspecting a transcipt 
of the record, believes that some error of law 
has been committed by the judge before whom 
the case is tried. The Supreme Court holds its 
sessions annually at the capital of the state. 
The state is divided into judicial districts, for 
each of which one judge is appointed by the 
Governor, by and with the consent of the Sen- 
ate, for a term of eight years. The District 
Court has original jurisdiction of all criminal 
eases, of all causes in behalf of the state to re- 
cover penalties, forfeitures and escheats ; of all 
cases of divorce ; of all suits to recover dam- 
ages for slander ; of all suits for the trial ot 
title to land ; of all suits, when the matter in 
controversy amounts to $100. The District 
Court has appellate- jurisdiction in cases origin, 
ating in inferior courts, and original and exclu- 
sive jurisdiction for the probate of wills; for 
the appointment of giiardians ; for the grant- 
ing of letters of administration ; for the settling 
of accounts of executors, administrators and 
guardians ; and for the transaction of all busi- 
ness appertaining to the estate of deceased per- 
sons, minors, idiots and lunatics. Justices of 
the Peace have such criminal and civil juris- 
diction as is provided bylaw. Each co. is divi- 
ded into five justices' precincts.

♦Toledo, city, port of entry and co. seat of 
Lucas CO., Ohio, on the W. bank of Maumee 
R., opposite the mouth of Swan Cr., 4 mis. 
from Lake Erie, and on the Wabash & Erie 
Canal, 134 mis. N. N. VV. of Columbus and 66 
mis. S. S. W. of Detroit. The site of Toledo 
was originally two distinct settlements called 
Port Lawrence and Vistula, which afterwaid 
became two business centers, known as the 
upper and lower landings. The former is elc- 
A'ated, and from it a fine view of the bay and 
lake is had. The city is substantially "built 
and contains many handsome residences, fine 
schools and churches and cmnmodions public 
and business structures. The river is a wide 
estuary, alfording one of the finest harbors on 



the lake. A low island above the city known 
as the " Middle Ground," and containing some 
50 acres, has by judicious espeiuliture of im- 
mense sums of money been redeemed and 
covered with freight warehouses, grain ele- 
vators (there are 9 of these in the city, the 
least of which has a storage capacity of i25,(KX) 
bush.) and railroad depots. Toledo is the 
outlet of the most extensive canal system on 
the continent. The Toledo & Waba'sh Canal 
extends from this city down the Wabash and 
White River Valleys to the Ohio R. at Evans- 
ville, Ind. Intersecting this can.al at Defiance, 
50 mis. S. W. of Toledo, is the Miami Canal, 
which traverses the valley of the Great ISliami 
R., and joins the Ohio at Cincinnati. Thus a 
system of over 700 mis. in extent and traver- 
sing the richest agricultural sections of two 
states pours its treasui-es into the city. This 
commerce is further aided by numerous lake 
steamers and craft which distribute the cere- 
als to eastern ports and bring the city into 
trade connection with all the important lake 
shore cities and towns. Toledo is on the Lake 
Shore & Michigan Southern R. R., at the junc- 
tion of the Micliigan Southern & Northern In- 
diana Divisions, .at E. terminus of Toledo, 
Wabash & Western R. R., at S. terminus of 
Toledo & Detroit R. R. and at N. terminus of 
Dayton & Michigan R. R. The manufacturing 
interests of the city are large and varied, em- 
bracing tobacco factories, manufactories of 
edge tools, saws, files, sash, doors and blinds, 
agricultural implements, steam boilers and 
engines, carriages, etc., etc. The money inter- 
esLS are represented by four national banks, 
three savings institutions and a number of 
private lianks. The city was incorporated in

*Trenton, city, co. seat of Mercer co., and 
capital of tlie state of N. J.; is situated on the 
E. bank of the Delaware R., at the head of 
navigation, 30 mis. N. N. E. of Philadelphia 
and 57 S. "W. of New York. The site of the city 
is a moderately rolling ground ; the plan is iu 
the main regular ; the built-up portion is com- 
pact and handsome. The street of fashion- 
able residences is State Street, which runs 
parallel with the river. It is crossed at right 
angles by Main Street, which is the leading 
business thoroughfare, and is lined with sub- 
stantial structures. The city has fine school 
buildings and churches, and the most notable 
public buildings are the State House on State 
Street, a modest stuccoed stone building, 100 
by 00 feet, commanding a fine view ot the 
river; the State Lunatic Asylum, founded in 
1848; the State Penitentiary, State Arsenal, 
State Normal Schools and the county build- 
ings in S. Trenton. The city is diviiled into 
two unequal portions (Trenton and S. Tren- 
ton) by the Assunpink Cr. Besides the com- 
mercial outlet afforded by the river, Trenton 
is on the line of the Delaware & Raritan Canal, 
Avhich connects the Delaware with the Hud- 
son, and is navigable for unrigged vessels of 
several hundred tons burden. It is intersect- 
ed at this place by a navigable feeder running 
23 mis. northward. The city is also ou the 



line of the New York Division of the Pennsvl- 
vania R. R., at S. terminus of Celvidere Divi- 
sion of same and at N. terminus of Trenton 
Branch of Amboy Division of same. Two sub- 
stantial bridges span the river hero. Its com- 
luercial position is therefore commanding and 
its trade active. The falls in the river afford 
flue water-power, and the manufacturing in- 
terests of the city are large and varied, em- 
bracing paper mills, iron foundries, rolling 
mills, flour mills, axe and wire factories, man- 
ufactories of engines and steam boilers, saw 
mills and potteries, the latter including .some 
of the largest manufactories of stone aiid delf 
ware in the country. Trenton was settled 
about 1680 by Pliineas Peinberton and named 
(1720) in honor of Col. Wm. Trent. It became 
the capital of the state in 1790, and was incor- 
porated in 1792. Tlie city and vicinity abound 
in revolutionary associations. Pop. in 1840, 
4,0.35 ; in 18,50, 6,461 ; in 1860, 17,228 ; in 1870, 22,874, 
17,855 of whom were natives of the United 
States and 5,019 foreign born. It is the loca- 
tion of a fine state and city library containing 
rare selections of books, and hasten newspa- 
pers, of which the "Emporium," "Evening 
Argus," "State Gazette," "State Sentinel 
and Capital," and "True American" are 
dailies and weeklies.

*Troy, city, and co. seat of Rensselaer co., 
N. Y., on the E. bank of the Hudson R., 6 
mis. N. of Albany and 148 N. of New Y'ork 
city. Its site at the head of navigation on 
the R. is a low alluvial plain, overlooked 
on the E. and N. by bold bluffs, two of 
which bear the classical names of Mt. Ida 
and Mt. Olympus. Except along the river 
front the streets are regular, and in the main 
are wide and compactly built. The river 
thoroughfares are mostly devoted to com- 
merce, while those farther back are lined 
with fashionable dwellings. The length of 
the city exceeds 3 mis. and its width 1 mle. 
The architecture Is as eflfective as that of 
much larger cities. Tlie charitable institu- 
tions are represented by the commanding 
structures of the Troy Hospital, Marshall In- 
firmary, Orphan Asylum and Wiirren Free 
Institute ; the scholastic institutions by the 
finely appointed Rensselaer Polytechnic In- 
stitute, the Troy Academy, the Female Semi- 
nary; St. Peter's College (Catholic), and other 
fine school structures. The church archi- 
tecture finds its best types in St. Paul's and 
St. John's churches (Episcopal) and in the 
Old Presbyterian Church, in the Grecian style. 
The Court House is a beautiful marble build- 
ing, of Doric architecture. Tlie hotels are 
numerous, capacious and liospitable. Semi- 
nary and Washington parks ornament differ- 
ent parts of the city. Tlie commercial facili- 
ties of the city are excellent. By way of the 
Hudson it is in connection with New York 
and other Atlantic ports, while by the Cham- 
plain and Erie Canals, which here first touch 
navigable waters, it is brought into contact 
with the lakes of the N. and N. W. Its rail- 
road connections are of still greater import- 
ance. It is the virtual N. terminus of the 
Hudson River R. R., the S. terminus of the 
Troy & Boston R. R., the S. E. terminus of the 
Rensselaer & Saratoga R. R. and E. terminus 
of the Troy & Schenectady Branch of New 
Y'ork Central R. R. Tlie city is possessed of 
ample water-power by means of the Hudson 
R. and Poestenkilland Wynantskill Crs. This 
power, amply supplemented by steam, capital 
and energy, has given to Troy a national, if 
not a world-wide, celebrity as a manufactur- 
ing center. This interest covers almost the 
whole domain of industry, but prominent is 
the production of flour, paper, cotton and 
woollen goods, leather, beer, raw and rolled 
iron, Bessemer steel, castings, machinery, 
engines, boilers, nails, stoves, cars, brushes, 
stoneware, carpets, etc., etc., representing an 
employed capital of nearly $12,000,000, with 
$15,000,000 of materials consumed and $28,000,- 
000 of products. The city is connected with 
West 'Troy (which see), on the opposite side 
of the R., by means of a bridge and ferries. 
Troy was incorporated as a village in 1801, and 
as a city in 1816. Its poijulation in 1820 was 
5,264 ; in 1830, 11,405 ; in 1850, 28,785 ; in 1860, 39,- 
232 ; in 1870, 46,46.5, of whom 30,246 were natives 
of the iJnited States and 16,219 foreign born. 
Eight newspapers are published her(!, of 
whicti the "Press," "Times" and " Wliig " 
are dailies.

8xirfuce. — Utah forms a part of the extensive 
plateau which lies between the Rocky Mts. 
and the Sierra Nevada, and is greatly diversi- 
fied by lofty mountain chains belonging to the 
vast system of the North American Cordille- 
ras. The most prominent of these in length, 
height and extent of area, is that of the Wall- 
satch Mts., which trend through the territory 
from N. to S. and in the southern part of it 
turn otr toward the S. W. The part of Utah 
lying W. of the Wahsatch Mts. belongs to the 
"Great Basin," and resembles, in all its natural 
features, the neighboring state of Nev. From 
4,250 feet in height above the sea around Great 
Salt Lake, it rises toward the S. and AV. to over 
6,000 feet; consists of arid plains, alkali Hats, 
and artemisia or wild sage deserts, and is in- 
tersected by detached liiountain chains and 
ridges,wliich, with few exceptions, are destitute 
of water and timber, and partalce of the desert 
character of the intervening plains and valleys. 
The Raft River Mts. occupy the north-eastern 
corner of Utah, Promontory Mt. tills the long 
peninsula which projects "into tlie northern 
part of Great Salt Lake ; the Oquirrah Mt , 
Onaqiii and Cedar Mts. are S. of this lake and 
trend parallel to the Wahsatch Mt..and further 
to the S. are the House Range, the Goshoot 
Mts., Thomas Range, Beaver River Range, Wali- 
Wah Mts., Pinyon JIts. and Needle liange. 

The eastern part of Utah, extending from 
the Wahsatch Mts. to Colo. Ter., is higher than 
the western, but equally arid and mountainous. 
The Uintah Mts. trend from the Wahsatch 
Mts. to the Green R., and occupy a large area. 
The Roan, or Book, Mts. lie partly in Utah and 
partlv in Colo. Ter., between Graiid and Green 
Its. The Little Mts. lie W. of Green R. and 
trend to the N. W. along the valley of the 
White R. The Sierra Le Sal, or Lasal, lies S. E. 
of Grand R. The.Sierra Tucan and Sierra Pano- 
ehe lie near the southern boundary, the former 
W., the latter E. of the Colorado R. The south- 
eastern part of the territory consists of exten- 
sive undulating plains, and supports a few 
short ridges, as the Sierra Abajo and the Orejos 
del Oso. 

Uivers and Lakes. — The largest body of water 
in Utah is the Great Salt Lalce, which lies near 
the W. base of the Wahsatch Mts., extends 100 
mis. from N. W. to S. E. with an average width of 
50 mis., and includes the following islands : Dol- 
phin, Gunnison, Hat, 5Iud, Fremont, Carring- 
ton, Stansbury and Antelope. It is entered 
from the N. by the Bear R., which intersects the 
Cache Vallej', and breaking through a moun- 
tain range flows through the Malade Vallev, 
Avhere it receives the Malade R. Weber li. 
lises in the Uintah Mts., breaks through the 
Wahsatch Mts. and enters the lake on the east- 
ern shore. Its affluent, Ogden R., flows through 
a valley of the Wahsatch Mts. The R. Jordan 
is the outlet of Lake Utah, and flowing N. 
along the foothills of tin; Wahsatch Mts. emp- 
ties into the S. E. part of Great Salt I^ake. The 
water of the lake contains about 20 per cent, 
of common salt, while Lake Utah is a beautiful 
sheet of .fresh water 30 mis. long and 10 mis.

•wide. It is surrounded by mountains, -with a 
broad, grassy valley slopin'g to the water edge, 
opening to the northward, and receives Spanish 
Fork, Provo, or Tiuipanogas, and Current Ors. 
Sevier Lake, in Millard co., lies about 100 mis. 
S. W. of Lake Utah and receives the Sevier 11., 
which is nearlj' 200 mis. long and traverses the 
rich valley W. of the Wahsatch Mts. Preuss 
Lake, Little Salt Lake and Fish Lake are small 
sheets of water in the S. W. part of the terri- 
tory. 

The region lying E. of the Wahsatch Mt. is 
drained by the Green R., which in Pi Ute co. 
joins the Grand 11. to form the Colorado of the 
West. Green li. intersects the N. E. corner of 
Utah, turns the Uintah Mts. and re-entering 
Utah flows through it from N. to S. Its atHu- 
ents are the Uintah 11., which receives the 
drainage of the southern slope of the Uintah 
Mts.; White K. in San Pete co., San Rafael R. 
and Dirty Devil R., both rising in the Wahsatch 
Mts. Gi-and R. enters Utah from Colo. Ter., 
and within the territoi-y the Colorado passes a 
canyon whose vertical sides rise 1,'200 feet above 
the bed, while the exterior banks rise in some 
places from 2,000 to 3,000 feet more. 

Climate and Vegetation. — Like the other terri- 
tories and states lying between the Rock5" Mts. 
and the Sierra Nevada, Utah has a healthj', 
mild, but exceedingly dry, climate. The mean 
annual temperature E. of the Wahsatch Mts. 
is from 38° to 44°, and W. of that great range 
from 46° to 52°. The rain-fall averages about 16 
inches, but around the Great Salt Lake ap- 
proaches 20 inches. Rain is uiost abundant in 
the valleys from October to April ; the re- 
mainder of the year is dry and hot. Spring 
opens in May and cold weather rarely sets in 
before November. 

The vegetation is scanty. Timber is almost 
wholly confined to the higher mountains, aud 
consists of quaking ash, cedar, spruce, pine and 
other coniferous trees, while copses of wil- 
low, box-elder, Cottonwood and dwarf ash grow 
occasionally along tlie river bottoms. Butfalo 
and grama grass cover the valleys among the 
foothills and along the v/ater-courses. Sand- 
grass prevails in some localities, and, bearing 
small black seeds which tenaciously cling to 
the plant when ripe, is highly nutritious. The 
plains are \isually coveretl with wild sage (Ar- 
temisia), or with an efflorescence of alkili. 
An extensivealkali desert occupies the western 
parts of Box Elder and Tooele cos. 

Population. — \3X,aJh was first settled by the Mor- 
mons in 1847. Three years later the population 
was 11,380 ; in 1860, 40,273, and in 1870, 86,786, of 
whom 86,044 were whites, 118 colored persons 
and 179 Indians out of tribal relations. The 
Indians sustaining tribal relations numbered 
12,795, of whom 8,195 lived on reservations and 
at agencies and 4,000 were wandering nomads. 
As to nativity the population was distributed 
as follows: Natives of the United States, 5j,084, 
Inclusive of 41,211 natives of the territory, and 
natives of foreign countries 30,702, including 
445 Chinese, 16,073 linglishmen, 502 Irishmen, 
2,391 Scotchmen, 1,783 Welshmen, 613 Norwe- 
gians, 1,790 Swedes, 509 Swiss and 358 Germans. 
The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 56,515, of whom 21,517 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz.: 10,428 in agri- 
culture, 5,317 in professional and personal ser- 
vices, 1,665 in trade and transportation and 4,107 
In manufactures, mechanical and mining indus- 
tries. 

Minerals and Mining.— The mineral resources 
of Utah are extraordinary in extent and diver- 
sity and embrace tlie ores of the principal me- 
tals and many of the rarer minerals, (iold is 
found in several districts, both in quartz veins 
or as gold dust in placer mines, and also asso- 
ciated with lead in the various galenas of the 
territory. Silver in the native state does not 
occur in large quantities, but associated with 



other ores it is found almost all over the terri- 
tory, such as dark ruby silver (antimonial sul. 
phurct) and light ruby silver (arsenial sul 
phuret), in the Bhick Jack and Butterfleld Can. 
yons, in the Oquirrah Mts., or as horn silver in 
the Star, Tintic, Sevier aTid other southern dis- 
tricts, or as argentiferous galena (in connec- 
tion with lead) in the Cottonwood and Stock- 
ton districts and elsewhere. Lead is mostly 
found as galena in nearly all the mining dis- 
tricts. Ores of copper are also abundant, and 
in the native state copper occurs in Ophir, Tin- 
tic aud southern Utah. The ore from the Mam- 
moth Coppcropolis mine at Tintic contains a 
considerable amount of gold. Iron ores are 
very plentiful and of excellent quality. He- 
matites are found in the S. and other rich ores 
in Weber and Cache Valleys and in Iron and 
Washington cos. A fine quality of micaceous 
iron ore is found in Cache co. Bismuth ore. 
In connection with cadmium, occurs in the 
Beaver district, in Black Jack Gulch and Bing- 
ham Canyon. It assays 43 per cent, bismuth 
and 35 per cent, silver. Cinnabar, realgar and 
orpiment, in a very pure form, occur in the 
Oquirrah Mts. 

Common salt exists in enormous quantities, 
the great lake itself being an inexhaustible 
source of this indispensable substance. Coal of 
good quality is found in various parts of the 
territory, and has been worked for some years 
past in Weber Canyon. San Pete co. produces 
good bituminous coal, and from recent devel- 
opments southern Utah appears to be well 
supplied with coal. Fire clay of a superior 
quality is obtained from largo deposits N. of 
Salt Lake (Mty. Clay for the manufacture of 
pottery and kaolin for chinawareare plentiful, 
while the very best building materials, sand- 
stone and marble, of various colors, are every, 
where easily obtained. 

The following are the principal mining dis- 
tricts : Big and Little Cottonwood Dist., in the 
Wahsatch Mts., about 25 mis. S. W.of Salt Lake 
City ; Parley's Park Dist., in the same range, 
about 33 mis. from the city ; American Fork 
and Snake Creek Mining Dist., adjoining Little 
Cottonwood Dist.; the Bingham Caiion Dist., in 
the Oquirrah Mts., 25 mis. S. W. of Salt Lake 
City; Rush Valley Dist., on the M'estern slope 
of the same range, about 40 mis. from the city ; 
The Ophir Dist., formerly <a part of the preced- 
ing, is famous for the richness of its veins; 
Camp Floyd Dist., S. of the Ophir Dist. and 60 
mis. from the city ; East Tintic Dist., in the 
Tintic Valley, 75 mis. S. W. of the city ; Ohio 
or Sevier Dist., on the Sevier R. and about 200 
mis. S. of the city; Lincoln Dist., formerly 
called the "Pioneer," 4 mis. N. of Minersville, 
Beaver co.: Star Dist., 230 mis. S. of Salt Lake 
City ; Mineral Point Dist., 16 mis. from Bing- 
haih City, having immense deposits of iron of 
excellent quality, and granite Dist., 60 mis. W. 
of the Ophir Dist. Utah has numerous fur- 
naces, smelting works, stamp mills, separating 
and refining works and ore sampling works. 

Agriculture. — The proportion of land suscep- 
tible of cultivation is small. The best is situ- 
ated at the base of the mountains and generally 
consists of gravelly loam, which is well adapt- 
ed to the growth of wheat and other cereals. 
Vegetables grow to a ver3' large size and are of 
excellent quality. In the southern pai'toftho 
territory cotton, madder, indigo, figs and 
almonds are successfully cultivated. The dry- 
ness of the climate renders irrigation indis- 
pensable, and this entails a continuous expense 
and labor upon the agriculturist. Irrigating 
canals have been constructed in nearly all the 
productive valleys and districts. There were, 
in 1865, 277 such canals, from which 163,949 acres 
of land were irrigated ; and since then others 
have been added. 

According to the last census there were 4,908 
farms in the territory, which embraced 118,755

Tlie MannfacLiiresoi Utah, not connected with 
the i-eduction of ores, are of secondary im- 
portance. In 1870 there were 533 establishments, 
nsmj^ 21 steam-engines of 331 horse-power and 
192 water-wheels of 2,169 horse-jiower. They 
enijiloyed 1..534 hands, paid wages to the 
amouiit of $.'395,305 and consumed raw materials 
to the value of $1,218,252. Tiie capital invested 
in manufacturing amounted to $1,391,898, and 
the commodities produced had a value of $2,- 
343,019; flour and meal of 4;782,e46 in value, 
sawed lumber of $661,431 in value, and woollen 
goods of $13;J,620 in value were the principal 
products of industry. 

Commerce and IinUroads.—T\\Q commerce of 
Utah consists in exporting the products of the 
mines, as ores and bullion, and importing coal, 
luml)er, machinery, and the numerous articles 
of home consumption. In 1872 there were 
slp'pped by the Utah Central R. R. 20,693,692 lbs. 
of ore. $910,.53(): 11,066,853 lbs. of bullion, $1,328,-

The Union Pacific and Central Pacific R. Rs. 
intersect the noi'thern part of the territory 
from E. to W. and have within its limits a 
length of 257 mis. Local lines have since been 
constructed to the extent of 97 mis., so as to 
make the total railroad mileage 349. The Utah 
Northern R. R. branches off from the Central 
Pacific and will run to Soda Springs, Oneiila 
CO., Idaho Ter., a distance .of 125 mis., 40 of 
which were in running order in 1873. The Utah 
Central R. R. connects Ogden with Salt Lake 
City (37 mis.). The Utah Southern R. R. is in 
running onler for 40 mis. S. of Salt Lake City, 
and will soon be complet^'d to I'ayson, Utah cb. 
It will eventually be extended to the Colorado 
R. Other railroads have been incorporated to 
afford commercial facilities to the thriving 
settlements in various parts of the tci'ritory. 

Education, etc. — The present school system 
has been organized Ijy the territorial legislature 
and is liherally sustained by the people. The 
Chancellor and Regents of the Deseret Univer- 
sity exercise a general supervision over the 
educational interests of the territory. This 
university includes a classical, scientific and 
normal course. It was opened in 1850 and re- 
organized in 1867 and again in 1869. In 1871 it 
had 2S6 male and 291 female students. 

lUah in the same year had 277 schools, in 
which 190 male and 185 female teachers gave in- 
struction. The number of cliildren enrolled 
was 15,924. and the average daily attendance

Crovernment, — Utah, originally a part of Upper 
California, was ceded to the United States by 
treaty with Mexico, in 1848, and erected into a 
territory in September, 1850. It was first settled 
by the Jlormons, a peculiar religious sect, call- 
ing themselves Latter Day Saints, in 1847, after 
their expulsion from 111., where they had found- 
ed the settlement of Nauvoo. 

The Governor and Secretary are appointed by 
the President of the United States for 4 years. 
The Legislative Assemljly is composed of a 
Council and a House of Representatives. The 
13 members of the Council are elected for two 
years and the 26 members of the House for one 
year. 

The judicial power of the territory is vested 
in a Supreme Court. District Courts, PrObate 
Courts an<l .Justices of the Peace. The Supreme 
Court consists of one Chief Justice and two 
Associate .Justices. The territory is divided 
into three judicial districts, in each of which a 
regular term of the Supreme Court is held every 
year. 

Utah is divided into the following 20 counties : 
Beaver, Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Iron, -Juab, 
Kane, Millard, Morgan, Pi Ute, Rich, Salt Lake,

VERMONT, one of the New England states ; 

is boundeil on the W. by N. Y.. on the E. by N. 

H., on the S. by Mass., and on the N. by the Do- 
minion of (Janada. It extends from 42-' to 45° N. 

flat, and from 7P 25' to 73° 26' W. long., and has 

an area of 10.212 scj. mis. or 6,53o,680 acres. 
Surjace. — Vt. is intersectedi by the broad belt 

of the Green Mts., the French name of which, 

•' Verts Monts," has given the name to the state. 

Their highest range trends from N. to S. nearly 

parallel to the western boundary, and consists 

of several detaclied ridges which, standing end 



to end, are separated from each other by the 
valleys of the streams emptying into "Lake 
Champlain. The highest peaksare the Equinox 
Mt., 3,872 feet, Mount Anthony, 2 mis. from Ben- 
nington ; Mt. HoUv, Shrewsbury Pk., 3,345 feet, 
Killington Pk., 4,221 feet, Mt. Moosehillock. 4.790 
feet, Camel's Hump, 4,088 feet, Mt. Mansfield, 
4,430 feet and Jay's Pk. A second range, lower 
but more contin'uous than the first, branches 
olT near Killington Pk. and trends through the 
state in a N. N. E. fUrection. It forms the water- 
shed between the Connecticut R., which wa.shes 
the eastern border of the state, and Lake Cham- 
plain, which washes the western. Some detach- 
ed mountains rise near the Connecticut K., the 
most famous of which is Mt. Ascutncjy, 3.320 
feet, which aflfords magnificent views over the 
adjacent country. The Green Mts. are almost 
everywhere covered with forests of hemlock, 
spruce and other coniferous trees, and abound 
in grand and picturesque scenery. Along the 
shore of Lake Champlain extends a narrow belt 
of low plain. 

Rivers and Lakes. — The entire eastern part of 
the state is drained by the Connecticut R., 
which separates it from"N. H. and receives the 
following tributaries: Nulhegan R., in Essex 
CO.; Passumpsic R., which receives Moose R. in 
Caledoniaco.; Weils R., which issues from Long 
Pond ; Wails R., in Orange CO., White R., Otta 
Quechee R. and Black R., in Windsor co., Wil- 
liams R., Saxtons R., and West R., in W'indhani 
CO., and the upper course of Deerfleld R. The 
northern part of the state, between the two 
I'anges of the Green Mts. is drained by Lake 
Memphremagog, which receives Barton and 
Black Rs. in Orleans co. Lake Champlain ex- 
tends for 105 mis. along the western border of 
the state, and receives the Missisquoi R. and 
Lamoille R., both intersecting Franklin co., 
Winooski or Onion R. and Laplot R., in Chitten- 
den CO., Otter Ci\, which ilrains Addison co., 
and Poultney R., which bounds Rutland co. on 
the S. and eihpties into the southern extremity 
of Lake Champlain. The S. W. corner of the 
state, embracing the larger part of Bennington 
CO., is drained by small affluents of the Hudson 
R., as Batten kill and Hoosic Rs. 

CUmale. — The climate of Vt. is cold and mark- 
ed by great extix-mes of temperature. The 
winters are long and sevei'e, the summers short 
and hot. Frost usually sets in in ^eplemhor 
and continues steadily to the beginning of April. 
The isothermal curve of 44° mean annual tem- 
perature intersects the state from the N. W. 
corner in a south-easterly direction. S. !ind \V. 
of this line the mean annual temperature rises 
to 40°, and N. and E. of it it falls to 40°. At 
Montpelier, nearly in the center of the state, 
the mean temperature of July has been found 
to be about 73° and of December about 19°. 

The rain-fall is greatest in the southern part 
of the state and along the valley of the Connec- 
ticut, where it averages 44 inches. From hero 
it gradually decreases in a north-westerly di- 
rection, where it averages but .36 inches. 

Pointlatwn.—\' t. was first settled by emigrants 
from Mass. in 1724, at Fort Duuimer, near the 
present site of Brattleliorough, but the real col- 
onization of the state did not begin until after 
the conquest of Canada, 1760, being checked by 
the ferocity of the Indians who were until then 
quite numerous. In 1790 the population was 
85,425 ; in 1800, 1.54,465 ; in 1810, 217.895; in 1820, 23.5,- 
96<) ; in 1830, 280.6.52 ; in 1,S40, 291,948 ; in 18;-)0, 314,120 ; 
in I860. 315,098 and in 1870. 330,551. Of this num- 
ber 329,613 were whites, 924 were colored and 14 
were Indians. The natives of the United States 
numbered 283.396, of whom 243,814 were born in 
the state, 13,540 in X. IL, 9,202 in Mass., 1,251 in 
Me., 1,613 in Conn. The foreign born populatioii 
numbered 47,1.55, of whom 28,544 were born in 
British America, 370 in Germany, 1,946 in Eng- 
land, 14,080 in Ireland, 1,240 in Scotland and 565 
in Wales.

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 258,750, of whom 108,763 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz : 57,983 in agri- 
culture, 21,032 in professional and personal 
services, 7,132 in trade and transportation and 
22,616 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — Traces of gold have 
been found, but not In sufticient quantities to 
warrant mining. Iron of good quality is abun- 
d.ant. Excellent ores occur along tlie western 
base of tlie Green Mts. and bog ore in various 
parts of the state. Building stones are, how- 
ever, the chief mineral productions: particu- 
larly granite and fine marljle. A black variety 
of marble is quarried at Swanton, on l^ake 
(Jhamplain. Slate is quarried on tlie Connecti- 
cut R. and near Rutland. Porcelain-clay or 
kaolin, limestone, steatite and manganese are 
also found abundantly. 

Agriculture is the principal pursuit of the in- 
habitants. There are large areas of highly 
productive soil along the water-courses and in 
the valleys, while the mountain meadows atford 
great inducements to the stock raiser and 
breeder. It produces the finest wool in the 
United States, and nowhere else in the country 
is so much attention paid to the raising of the 
highest grade of merino sheep as in this state. 

In 1870 there were in Vt. 33,827 farms of all 
sizes; 1,807 of which had less than 10 acres, 
1,998 from 10 to 20 acres, 6,210 from 20 to .'iO acres, 
10,761 from 50 to 100 acres, 12,935 from 100 to 500 
acres, 102 from 500 to 1,000 acres, and 15 over 
1,000 acres. The farms included 3,073,257 acres 
of improved land (46.9 per cent, of the area of 
the state), 1,386,9.34 of woodland and 68,613 of 
unimproved land. Their cash value was $139,- 
367,075, and the value of farming implements, 
$5,250,279. The estimated value of all farm pro- 
ductions, including improvements and addi- 
tions to stock, was $.34,647,027. There were pro- 
duced 438,155 bush, of spi-ing wheat, 16,548 bush, 
of winter wheat, 73,346 bush, of rye, 1,690,882 
bush, of Indian-corn, 3,602,430 bush, of oats, 117,- 
333 bush, of barley, 415,096 bush, of buckwheat, 
5,157,428 bush, of Irish pot's, 72,672 lbs. of tobac 
CO, 3,102,137 lbs. of wool, 17,844,396 lbs. of butter, 
4,830,700 lbs, of cheese, 525,927 lbs. of hops, 8,894,302 
lbs. of maple sugar and 1,020,669 tons of hay. 

The live stock had a value of $23,888,835 and 
comprised 65,015 horses, Ifrl mules and asses, 
180,285 milch cows, 27.809 working oxen, 112,741 
other cattle, 580,347 sheep and 46,.345 swine. 

Manufactures. — Although the rivers afford an 
immense amount of water-power, Vt. has fewer 
manufactories than any of the other New Eng- 
land states. In 1870 there were 3,270 establish- 
ments, against 1,883 in 1860, wliich used 186 
steam-engines of 6,425 horse-power, and 1,984 
water-wheels of 44,897 horse-power. The num- 
ber of hands employed was 18,686. The capital 
invested amounted 'to $20,329,637, and the wages 
paid to $6,264,581. Tbe raw materials used had 
a value of $17,007,769, and the commodities pro- 
duced of $32,184,606. The chief products of 
industry, with their values, were flour and 
meal, $3,895,058, tanned leather, $1,249,942, cur- 
ried leather, $762,.571, planed lumber, $2,-544,603, 
sawed lumber, $3,525,122, machinery, $7.56,080, 
scales and balances. $1,629,000, tin, eojiper and 
sheet-iron ware, $505,005 and woollen goods, $3,- 
550,962. 

Commerceand Railroads.— Ca.r\iu}(i is the only 
foreign country with which Vt. has direct com- 
mercial intercourse, which is carried on by 
waj'' of Lake Champlain. In 1875 the commer- 
cial fleet of the state comprised 13 sailing 
vessels of 768 tons, 6 steam vessels of 4,761 tons 
and 10 unrigged vessels of 684 tons. The im- 
ports had a value of $9,082,829; consisting of 
fish, furs and skins, gold ■ coin, hair, rags, 
books, living animals, malt, oats, wheat, flour, 
chemicals, copper ore, fruits, glass, iron and 
Steel, leather, etc. The exports of domestic 



commodities had a value of $3,702,720 ; consist- 
ing of books, drugs and chemicals, fruits, glass, 
gold coin, hair, hides, machinery, nails, leather, 
oil, types, gunpowder, oysters, quicksilver, 
clothing, woollen goods, etc, and the exports 
of foreign commodities of $28,725. 

The railroad mileage was 103 m 1848, 529 in 
1858, 605 in 1868 and 710 in 1872. The principal 
lines are the Connecticut and Passumpsic 
Rivers R. R., which extends from White 
River Junction to Derbv on the Canada Line 
llOJ^ mis. ; the Rutland R. R,, from Barling- 
ton to Bellow's Falls (120 mis.), with branches 
from Bellow's Falls to Brattleborough and 
from Brattleborough to Grout's Corners ; ami 
the Vermont Central R. R., from Windsor to 
Burlington (118 mis.), with branches from St. 
Albans to Richford, trom Bellows Falls to 
Windsor, from Bellows Falls to Burlington, 
and from Brattleborough to Miller's Falls, 
Mass. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — The assessed val- 
uation of real and pei'sonal estate in 1870 was 
$102,548,528, of which $80,993,100 was for real 
estate and $21,555,428 for personal property. 
The true or estimated valuation of both kinds 
of propertv was $235,349..553 against $122,477,170 
in 1860 and $92,205,049 in 18.50. 

The amount of state taxes assessed and col- 
lected in 1869 was $541,076, and in 1870, $588,866. 
The current liabilities for 1871 were $98,905, and 
the current resources $184,900, so that the for- 
mer exceeded the latter by $85,995. 

The funded debt of the state on August 1, 1872, 
was $237,.500, having been reduced during the 
3'ear by $150,000. The financial affairs oif the 
state are in a highly encouraging condition , .and 
the time is not far distant when the public deist 
will be wholly piiid and extinguished without 
any severe burden upon the people. 

The census reports the county Taxes for 1870 
at $40,329 ; the bonded debt of the counties at 
$8,042; the town and city taxation at $918,007 and 
the bonded debt of towns and cities at$l, 470,094. 

Education, etc. — The public schools of Vt. are 
in a flourishing condition, and have ever been 
liberally supported by the people. In most of 
the large villages they are graded. The num- 
ber of children of school age (from 4 to 18 
years) in 1870 was 78,843, of whom 64.149 attended 
school, while the aggregate average attendance 
^vas 44,,5,59, Select schools were attended by 
6,640 children. There w^ere 2,750 district schools 
in the state and 229 select schools, and the 
number of teachers was 4,239. The total ex- 
penditures for school purposes for the year 
were $486,407. 

Three normal schools have been establishe<l, 
one in each congressional district, under the 
direction of the State Board of Education. 
They are the Randolph, .Johnson and Castleton 
normal schools. The University of Vermont 
is located at Burlington. The State Agricul- 
tural College has been ineorported with tho 
Universitj^ and has received the avails of the 
150,000 acres of land donated by the general 
government. There are two other colleges and 
several academies in the state. 

The State Board of Education consists of six 
persons besides the Governor, who is an ex- 
olHcio member thereof. The board appoints 
its secretary, who has the general superintend- 
ence of the schools of the state. Each town 
elects a town superintendent, who is required 
to visit each common school at least once a 
year. Towns are divided into school districts. 
each of which has a prudential committee of 
one or three voters, who appoint teachers, pro- 
vide suitable school-rooms and make arrange- 
ments for the schools of the district. 

The charitable and penal institutions are the 
following : The Vermont Asylum for the In- 
sane, at Brattleborough, established in 1834 ; it 
has a large farm and extensive workshops and 
other buildings ; the Reform School, at Water-

bury, established in 18H5, and the State Prison, 
established in 1807, at Windsor. It is under the 
government of a board of three directors and a 
superintendent, elected annually by the Legis- 
lature. 

The Press of Vt. comprises 47 papers, which 
have a circulation of 71,.S90. Of these 3 are 
dailies, 43 weeklies, 1 monthly and 1 semi- 
weekly. 

Crovernwien^.— Jurisdiction over the territory 
within the present limits of Vt. was claimed 
by Mass., X* H. and N. Y. In Januarj^, 1771, a 
convention met at Westminster declaring the 
state an independent jurisdiction, to he forever 
known as "New Connecticut," alias "Ver- 
mont." The same convention met again in July, 
and appointed a committee to frame a constitu- 
tion. The Legislature, in FeViruary, 1779, passed 
an act declaring that the constitution, as estab- 
lished by general convention at Windsor in 
1777, together with such alterations and addi- 
tions as should be made in pursuance of its 
provisions, should be forever held and main- 
tained as part of the laws of the state. After 
the controversy with N. Y. was amicably set- 
tled, the Legislature of Vt. called a convention 
to ascertain the wishes of the people with 
regard to admission into the Union. Tlie con- 
vention met, and in January, 1791, resolved to 
make application. An act was accordingly 
passed, to take effect Marcli 4, 1791, by which 
Vt. was admitted with the rigiUs and privi- 
leges of an independent state, and by another 
act, approved in March, 1791, the laws of the 
United States were extended over Vt. There 
have been held, under the constitution of tlie 
state, 13 " Councils of Censors," at intervals of 
7 years, to propose changes to the constitution, 
and the changes thus proposed were adopted 
by the conventions called by them. The first 
Council of Censors met in 1785 ; the tliirteenth 
in 1869. 

Every man of 21 years of age, who is a native 
born citizen of some one of the United States, 
or has been naturalized and has resided in the 
state one year next before the time of election, 
and who will take the oath prescribed by tlie 
constitution, is entitled to the privileges of a 
freeman. 

The supreme executive power of the state is 
exercised by the Governor, or in case of his 
absence, by" the Lieutenant-Governor. They 
are elected by ballot, hoUl their ofHces for two 
years, and must have resiiled in the state four 
vears next preceding the day of election. The 
Treasurer is elected in the same manner and 
for the same time. Tlie Secretary of State, the 
Auditor and all otlier officers whose election is 
not otherwise provided for, are elected by the 
Senate and the House of Kepresentatives in 
joint assembly. 

The supreme iegislative power of the state 
is exercised by the Senate and the House of lie- 
presentatives, which are styled the "General 
Assembly of the State of Vermont." The Sen- 
ate is composed of 30 members, who have at- 
tained the age of 30 years, and tlie House is 
composed of 241 members. Senators and re- 
presentatives are elected biennially for two 
years. 

The judicial powers of the state are vested in 
a Supreme Court, a Court of Chancery, a Coun- 
ty Court in each county. Justices of the Peace 
In the several towns and a Probate Court in 
each probate district. The judges of tlie Su- 

£rcine Court are elected biennially bv the 
egislature, and all other judicial ofHcers by the 
people. Since 1870 the number of judges of the 
Supreme Court is seven. This court has no 
original jurisdiction, but is a court of errors. 
It hohls annually a general term and also a 
term in each county. Each judge of the same 
is a chancellor, and holds his court at the same 
time as the County Court. The County Courts 
have original jurisdiction in divorce, in all 



civil actions for over $200 and in relation to 
real estate. Two terms of the County Court 
are held in each county, annually, over which 
one of the judges of the Supreme Court pre- 
sides, assisted by the two county judges. All 
actions out of the original jurisdiction of the 
County and Chancery Courts, except for di- 
vorce, mhst be brought before a Justice of the 
Peace. 

Vt. is divided into the following 14 counties: 
Addison, Bennington, Caledonia, Chittenden, 
Essex, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orange, 
Orleans, Kutland, Washington, Windham and 
Windsor.

VIROINIA, one of the 13 original states of 
the Union; Is bounded on the N." by Md. and W. 
Va., on the E. by Chesapeake B. and the Atlantic 
Ocean, on the S. by N. C. and Tcnn., and on the 
VV. by Ky. and \V. V'a. It extends from 3(i° 30' 
to 3'jo 27' X. lat., and from 75° 10' to 83° 30' W. long., 
and has an area of 38,348 sq. mis. , or 24,54-2,720 
acres. 

Surface. — Va. is naturally divided into 7 sec- 
tions or belts, extending through it from N. E. 
to S. W., parallel with the general trend of the 
Atlantic coast. 

1. The Tide-water Country embraces the largo 
peninsulas that have their outline washed by 
the tidal waters of the Chesapeake C. or by the 
Atlantic Ocean. It is about 100 mis. in width 
and over 120 mis. in length, making an area of 
nearly 12,000 sq. mis. The tidal creeks penetrate 
far into each separate peninsula, are mostly 
wide and deep, and in some of the broad estua- 
ries, as Hanipton Koads, Elizabeth li., York U., 
and elsewhere, the largest vessels afloat can 
easily reach the wharves. The water-sheds 
rarely exceed 100 feist in height above the sea. 
In some of the peninsulas are large swamps — 
like the Great Dismal— valuable for the fine cy- 
press, pine, oak and other timber in and around 
them. The rank cane vegetation of their bor- 
ders furnishes a vast supi)ly of material for the 
manufacture of paper. Lai-ge forests of pine 
still abound, and the lumber ships run to the 
vicinity of the steam saw mills for their car- 
goes. 

2. The Middle Country has very nearly the 
shape of a right-angled triangle, its base of 130 
mis. resting on the N. C. state line ; the right 
angle is on the E. and the perpendicular extends 
northward, past the heads of the tidal creeks 
to the Potomac, while the hypothenuse of 220 
mis. runs with the broken ranges of the South 
West Mts. at the border of the Piedmont Coun- 
try, its area is about 12,000 sq. mis., divided 
into 21 COS. The great variety of composi- 
tion in the basis rocks has given" a correspond- 
ing variety to the soils of this region, and they 
are found possessed of all degrees of fertility, 
from the yioor gray ridges forming the water- 
sheds of the principal streams to the rich dark 
bottom-lands along the streams themselves. 
The tobacco of this section is noted for its tine 
quality, and the wheat for the perfection of its 
ripeness, making it desirable to grind into flour 
for exportation to warm climates. Large por- 
tions of the country are covered witli forests 
of oak and pine. 

3. The Piedmont Country is composed of the 
tier of 13 COS. lying adjacent to and E. of the 
Blue Ridge, and is about 250 nds. long and 25 
mis. wide. Its eastern limit is about 500 feet 
above tide-water, and the irregular mountains 
which rise on it are from 500 to 800 feet higher ; 
but they are of easy access and generally fertile 
to their summits. The country bi'twetju these 
mountains and the Blue Ridge is maile up of 
numberless valleys surrouiuied by hills and 
ridges having an endless variety of forms. The 
principal of these i-idges are jinll ^It., in Pat- 
rick CO.; Turkey Cock Mt. and Chestnut Mt., in 
Franklin co.; Butfalo Ridge, in Andierst co.. 
Green, Carter and South West Mts., in Albe- 
marle CO.; Pig Nut Mt. and Bull Run Jit., in 
Fairfax co., and Catoctin Mt. in T^oudonn co. 
Nothing can exceed the beauty of the round 
and inclosed valleys, locally known as "coves." 
The soil is of exulHTant iVitility and the crops 
heavy and of excellent (luality. 

4. The Blue lUdge extends for more than 300 



mis. diagonally across the state, Tarj-ing in 
width from 3 n'ds. at the gorge, through which 
the Potomac R. bursts at Harper's Perry, to 
more than 20 mis., near the Tenn. state line, 
where it expands into a broken concave plateau 
drained by New R. The general elevation of the 
Blue Ridge above thesea level is 1,800 fc(it near 
the Potomac, whence it increases toward the S. 
W. until at White Top, on the Tenn. border, it 
roaches 5,000 feet. It is generally 2,000 fe(;t above 
the great Atlantic plain, and from 1,000 to 1,500 
above the Virginia Valley in the W. The Blue 
Ridge occupies about 3,000 sq. mis. of Va., most of 
which is covered with a fine growth of oak, 
hickory, chestnut and tulip-poplar forests. The 
soil is especially adapted to the requirements 
of the grape-viiie, and the topography is such, 
that almost any aspect can be chosen for a vine- 
yard. Numerous vineyards t^'e now in success- 
ful operation. At Belinont, near Front Boj'al, 
is one, covering 75 acres, and producing 20,000 
gals, of wine and 10.000 gals, of brandy. Apples, 
pears, peaches, and other fruits of a temijerate 
climate, here attain a flavor and perfection 
rarely attained elsewhere. The passes which 
lead across the Blue Ridge and thus connect; 
the Piedmont with the great valley, are numer- 
ous and commodious, as Snicker's Gap, Ash- 
by's Gap, Manassas Gup. Chester Gap, Thorn- 
ton's Gap, Swift Run Gap, Brown's Gap, Rock- 
lish Gap, White's Gap, Petit's Gap, Buford's 
Gap, Kennedy's Gap, Mowbray's Gap, Flower 
Gap and others. The principal peaks are Thun- 
der Hill, Flat Top, Peaks of Otter, 3,995 feet; 
Weaver's Knob, Buffalo Knob, etc. 

.5. The Valley of Virginia lies W. of the Blue 
Ridge ; is about 320 mis. in length and averages 
25 mis. in width. It is the central portion of 
what is known as the great Apijalachian Val- 
ley, a belt of limestone land extending for 1,500 
mis., from the St. Lawrence R. to the Alabama 
R., famous for its fertility and the surpassing 
beauty of its scenery. 'The Virginia Valley is 
better known by the names of its subdivisions, 
as the Slienandoah, James, Roanoke, New River 
and Holston Vallej's, which succeed each other 
in the order ^iven, from the Potomac R. to the 
Tenn. state line. Ranges of remarkably long, 
straight, narrow and steep mountains, parallel 
an<l standing in echelon, form the western 
boundary of the valley, having various local 
names, as the Little North, Walker's, Clinch, 
etc.. but known by the collective term of Kit- 
tatinny.the Indian name, meaning the "End- 
less." The valley is composed of a series of as- 
cending and descending planes, rising from 
levels of from (iOO to 1,000 feet to those of 2,000' 
or 2,.t00 feet. These slopes are either N. E. or 
S. W.; but the whole valley has a very decided 
inclination, beside, to the s! E., the western edge 
being generally 500 or 600 feet higher than the 
eastern. It follows from these data that the 
streams flow eastwardly aiul their united wa- 
t<'rs find a channel at the very western base of 
the mountains, until they can find a passage 
through them. These streams are very wind- 
ing, and in some eases flve times the length of 
the air-line distance from source to mouth. 
The valley contains over 5.000,000 of acres of 
land, barely one-third of which is under any 
kind of cultivation. The forests are great park- 
like groves of many kinds of oak, hickory, 
locust, walnut and yellow pine, with little or 
no undergrowth. The timber of these trees is 
of superior quality for manufacturing purpo- 
ses. The valley is an extremely rich farming 
and grazing region covered witli natural grass- 
es, especially the blue grass that forms peren- 
nial pastures, famed for their fattening quali- 
ties. The climate is a happy medium between 
the extremes of N. and S., and may be charac- 
terized as the mild-temperate. 

6. The Appahichian Country succeeds the 
valley on the W. It is a belt over 3(J0mls. long, 
varying in width from 20 to 50 mis. and having 



VIRGINIA. 



921 



VIRGINIA. 



an area in this state of over 6,000 sq. mis. In 
general terms it may be described as a series 
of comparatively narrow and long parallel val- 
leys, separated by ranges of mountains equally 
parallel, long and narrow and of considerable 
elevation. The heads of the valleys are some 
2..'500 feet in elevation,and they descend to from 
800 to 1,500. The mountains are from 3,000 to 
4,000 feet in altitude. The soil of tlie valleys is 
very productive and the grass, corn and root 
crops are famous for abundance and qualit5^ 
As a beef producing region, the Appalachian 
Country surpasses any other in the eastern jaor- 
tion of the United States. The following are 
the principal ranges: theGreatand LittleNorth 
Mt., the Cow Pasture, or Shenandoah, Mt., 
Warm Spring Mt., AUeghanj' Mts., forming the 
western boundary of Highland, Bath and Alle- 
ghany cos.; Rich Batch Mt., Peters Mt., Flat 
Top Mr., Clinch Mt., Powell's Mt. and Cumber- 
laud Mts., the latter separating Lee and Wise 
COS., the western extremity of the state, from 

Ky. 

7. The Trans-Appalachian Country is the last 
section of the state, and embraces mainly the 
COS. of Wise and Buchanan. It is about 2,500 
feet high, and forms a plane inclined to west- 
ward at a low angle, from which the streams 
have eroded channels to a great depth (in many 
places 1,000 feet deep). Along the rivers are 
alluvial bottoms of great fertility. The roll- 
ing uplands are well limbered with forests of 
birch, walnut, maple, tulip-poplar, oak and 
pine. 

Eivers.—T\\e largest part of Va. belongs to 
the drainage system of Chesapeake B., the 
southern part of which belongs to it, while the 
northern extends into Md. The Potomac R., 
which forms the northern boundary of the 
state, rises in two branches in the Appalachian 
Countr.y, receives the Shenandoah R., breaks, at 
Harpers Ferry, through a gap in the Blue 
Ridge, and empties through a wide estuary 
into Chesapeake B. It is navigable for the 
largest vessels to Alexandria and for smaller 
boats to Georgetown. The Rappahannock R. 
rises in the Blue Ridge, receives the Rapidan 
R. and is navigable to Fredericksburg!). York 
R. is formed by the confluence of the Mata- 
pony and Pamunkey Rs., and is navigable to 
lorktown. The James R. is formed by several 
branches rising in the Appalachian Countrv, 
intersects the \ iriginia Valley, and after break- 
ing through the Blue Ridge flows in an easterly 
direction through the Piedmont, the Sliddle 
and the Tide-water countries. It is navigable 
as far as Richmond. Nottoway and Meherrin 
Rs., the branches of the Chowan R., which 
empties into Albemarle Sound, drain the S. E. 
part of the state, while the Roanoke R., with 
its branches, drains tiie southern part of the 
Middle Country. 

The southern portion of the Blue Ridge is 
drained by the New R., the lower course of 
which is called the Great Kanawha R., while 
the Appalachian Country includes the sources 
of Powells Cr., Clinch R. and Holston R. and 
other small branches of the Tennessee 11. 
Buchanan co., and the greater part of Wise co., 
are drained by the branches of the West Fork 
of the Big Saiidy R. 

The Climate of Va. is on the whole mild and 
salubrious. The Tide-water Country has long 
and hot summers, mild winters, and is not 
altogether free from malarious diseases. Its 
mean annual temperature varies from 56 to 60 
degrees. From here westward ihe mean an- 
nual temperature decreases, until it sinks 
down in the higher parts of the Blue Ridge to 
48 degrees. In the Appalachian Country it 
rises to over 52 degrees. The rain-fall is abund- 
ant for the support of a luxuriant vegetation, 
and averages, in the larger part of the state, 
from 40 to 44 inches. 

J'opiilaiion.— In 1607 Capt. John Smith founded 



the settlement at Jamestown, on the James R., 
which was the flrst,not only in the state, but 
on the continent, made by "Englishmen. The 
settlement gradually extended inland, along 
the James R., anil increased in population and 
prosperity. In 1716 Gov. Alexander Spotts- 
wood, leading a party of friends, crossed the 
Blue Ridge and discovc^red the Shenandoah 
Valley, which was subsequently settled by 
" Scotch-Irish " and Germans from Pa. 

In 1790the population was 747,610 ; in 1800, 880,200 ; 
in 1810, 974.600 ; in 1820, 1,005,116; in 1S30, 1,211,405; 
in 1840, 1,2;59,797; in 1850, 1,421,661; in 1S60, 1,596,- 
318, and (after the erection of W. Va. into a sep- 
arate state)in 1870,1,225,163. Of these there were 
712,089 white, 512,841 colored and 229 Indian. 

In regard to nativity the pop. Avas distributed 
as follows : The natives of the United States 
numbered 1,211,409, inclusive of 1,162,822 natives 
of Va. and W. Va., and the natives of foreign 
countries 13,754, of whom 327 were born in Brit- 
ish America, 369 in France, 4,050 in Germany, 
1,909 in England, 5,191 in Ireland, and 705 iu 
Scotland. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 890,0.56, of whom 412,665 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz. : 244,.550 in ag- 
riculture. 98,521 in jn'ofessional and personal 
services, 20,181 in trade and transportation, and 
49,413 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — Va. is as rich in min- 
eral treasures as any of the states E. of the 
Rocky Mts. 

Midway in the Middle Country is a strip of 
land from 15 to 20 mis. in widtli. and running 
for 200 mis. through the state, that has long 
been known as the " gold belt." Large amounts 
of gold have been taken from it, especially 
near the Rappahannock and James Rs., and 
small quantities are constantly being obtained 
from surface washings. 

Iron is very abundant throughout the state. 
Magnetic, micaceous and specular ores are 
found interstratifled with the other formations 
in the Piedmont. Brown hematite iron ores 
occur in very extensive deposits in the ranges 
of foot hills lying along the western base of the 
Blue Ridge. 'Q'hey yield from 60 to 65 per cent, 
of metallic iron. The western flank of the 
table-land in the S. W. is known as the " Iron 
Mountain," from the quantity of ore there ex- 
posed, and where the New R. "leaves the Ridge, 
at Radford Furnace, the stratum of ore is over 
30 feet in thickness. Large beds of manganese 
of excellent quality are found in the same 
ranges of hills near these hematite ores. 

The Appalachian Country also abounds in 
iron ores of a superior quality, ami favorably 
situated for mining. A stratum of brown hema- 
tite ore of from 30 to 50. feet in thickness under- 
lies the sand-stone strata of the mountain 
ranges bordering the Virginia Valley on the W. 
Some of the ranges further W. hear "these valu- 
able ores on their crests— for example, the Iron 
Knobs at Elizabeth Furnace, near the. line of 
the Chesapeake & Ohio R. R. A very persistent 
stratum of hematite ore, known locally as dye- 
stone, because sometimes used for coloring 
purposes, runs through the Poor Valley Ridge, 
the Great Flat Top Mt. and other western 
ranges. This stratum extends from Ala. to N, 
Y., where it is known as the highly-prized 
" Clinton ore." Sulphurets of iron and copper 
occur in the gold belt. 

Copper ores are less abundant than iron ores, 
but occur in suflicient quantities to promise 
great results when properly developed. The 
primary rocks of the Blue Ridge inclose con- 
siderable deposits of good quality. The sul- 
phurets of copper found at various localities 
along the Chesapeake & Ohio R. K. are mined 
to some extent and sent to market, but will 
5'ield larger proflts with the introduction of 
cheap coal, which has just begun. 



VIRGINIA.

VIRGINIA. 



Mines of lead and barytcs liave been opened 
at various places in "the Piedmont, wliicli 
also abounds in manganese, plurabafjo and 
tire-ciay. Several coal fields, extending in 
detached oval masses from near Richmond to 
the S. W., oceupj' depressions in the underly- 
ing granite. On the N. side of the James 11. five 
seams of coal have been opened in tills Held, 
varying in thickness from -^14 to S feet, giving 
an aggregate of more than 20 feet, as at Carbon 
Hill. 

In the Appalachian Country beds of anthra- 
cite coal have been found. 
In Wythe eo., beyond New K., the outlying west- 
ern ranges of the Blue llidge contain extensive 
deposits of lead and zinc ores, pronounce<l by 
competent authority to be of the best quality. 
Lead mines have there been worked to some 
extent and with fair profits for more than 100 
years. Fire-clay is also a prominent product 
of the Blue Ridge. At one place in Augusta co. 
it is used in the manufacture of Rockingham 
ware. 

In Washington and Smj'th cos., on the North 
Fork of the Holston R., are extensive beds of 
gypsum, or plaster-of-paris, which is exten- 
sively used as a fertilizer, especially upon the 
grass lands. 

In the same region are deposits of rock salt, 
that have been penetrated more than a hun- 
dred feet in sinking wells to supply brine to 
the extensive Avorks at Saltville. The annual 
production there is very large. 

In Mercer and Scott cos. salt wells have been 
bored, which also yield a good article. 

Mineral springs in great variety, as sulphur, 
chalybeate and others are found in numerous 
localities in the great vallej', and in the narrow 
valleys of the Appalachian ranges. The min- 
eral wealth of the Tide-water Country consists 
in its green sand and other marls tliatabound in 
all parts of it and are highly valued fertilizers. 

AgricvUure. — Va. abounds in lantls of the 
greatest fertility, and has but few and compar- 
atively small sections that are unlit for cultiva- 
tion. The great vallej% the bottom-lands along 
the streams of the Middle Country, the valleys 
of the Appalachian, and the Tide-water Coun- 
try, have all a soil of unsurpassed productive- 
ness. Even the Blue liidge is almost every where 
cultivable to the crest, and many well cultivated 
farms maybe seen in the highest parts of it. 
Only the crests of the Appalachian ranges, the 
sandy water-sheds of the Middle Country and 
the swamps in the Tide-water Country are not 
adapted to the purposes of the farmer. The 
character of the soil, the earlj' opening of 
spring, and their accessibility, have maile the 
sea-board cos. the market garden for the large 
cities on the Atlantic coast, and already the 
products of a small portion of the country 
around Norfolk bring an annual return of over 
$'20,000,000. Kspecially is this region noted for 
the production of peaches, pears and straw- 
berries, and the flg thrives also and bears abun- 
dantly. . 

In 1870 there were in the state 73,849 farms, 
of which •2(>,G96 had from 100 to 500 acres ; 17,-20-i 
from 50 to 100 acres, and 1(5,891 from -20 to 50 
acres. The farms included 8.165,040 acres (or 
33.'2;5 per cent, of the area of the state) of im- 
proved land; 8,294,734 acres of wooiUand, and 
1,68(),137 acres of unimproved land. The farms 
had a cash value of $213,020,845, and the agri- 
cultural implements of $4,924,03i>. The total 
amount of wages paid was .•5s'.i,753,011, and the 
cstimate<l value of all farm productions, in- 
cluding improvements and additions to stock, 
was $51,944,801. 

The products were 7,389 bush, of spring wheat, 
7,31)1,398 bush, of winter wheat, 582,2()4 bush, of 
J'ye, 17,tU9,304 bush, of Indian-corn, 6,857,553 
bush, of oats, 7,2.i'.) bush, of barley, 4.5,075 bush, 
of buckwheat, 1,293,85.3 bush, of Irisli pot's, b65,- 
8d2 bush, of sweet pot's, 183 bales of cotton, 37,- 



0Se,3&i lbs. of tobacco, 877,110 lbs. of wool, 0,979,- 
299 lbs. of butter, 71,743 lbs. of cheese, 130,750 
lbs. of flax, 245,093 lbs. of maple sugar, 505,239 
lbs. of honey, 329,155 gals, of sorghum molasses, 
and 199,883 tons of hay. 

The live stock had a value of $23,1S7,()G9, and 
comprised 152,899 horses, 20,903 mules and asses, 
188,471 milch cows, 45,987 working oxen, 277,285 
other cattle, 370,145 sheep, and 674,670 swine. 

Manufactures. — The manufacturing interests 
of Va. are second to its agriculture, and con- 
sist chiefly in fltting for use its farm i^roduc- 
tions. In 1870 the state had 5,933 manufacturing 
establishments (against 5,385 in 1860), whicli 
used 396 steam-engines of 8,410 horse-power, and 
2,229 water-wheels of 41,202 horse-power. The 
number of hands employed was 20,974. The 
wages paid amounted to $5,34;i,09;t and the capi- 
tal invested to $18,455,400. The raw materials 
consumed in manufacturing had a value of 
$23,832,384, and the commodities produced of

Commerce and Railroads. — Although Va. lias 
in her commodious harbors and deep estuaries 
great facilities for commerce and shipping, its 
ilirect trade with foreign countries is not g'i-eat. 
It has seven custom-house districts or ports of 
entry, as Alexandria, Cherrystone, Norfolk and 
Portsmouth, Petersburgh, Richmond, Tappa- 
hannock and Yorktown. Their commercial 
fleet comprised, in 1S72, 900 sailing vessels of 
17,538 tons, 67 steam vessels of 5,812 tons and 159 
unrigged vessels of 9,951 tons. The gootls im- 
ported from foreign countries had a total value 
of $532,701. and the domestic goods exported to 
foreign countries of $3,521,137. 

The railroads of the state in 1841 had a length 
of 223 mis.; in 1851, 520 mis.; in 1861, 1,379 mis., 
and in 1872, 1,537 mis. The principal lines are 
the Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio R. R., organized 
in 1870 bj^ the consolidation of the Norfolk & 
Petersburgh R. R. (81 mis.) ; the South Side 
R. R., from Petersburgh to Lynchburgh (123 
mis.), and the Virginia & Tennessee R. R., from 
Lynchburgh to Bristol (204 mis.); the Chesa- 
peake & Ohio R. R., from Richmond. Va., to 
Huntington, W. Va., on the Ohio R. (427V^ mis., 
of which 315 mis. were in operation iiilS73; ; the 
Orange, Alexandria & Manassas R. R., from 
Alexandria to Lynchburgh, from Manassas to 
Harrisonburgh, with branches to Warrenton 
and to Front Royal (292^^ mis.); the Petersburgh 
R. R., from Petersburgh to Weldon, N. C, and 
from ilicksford to Gaston, N. C. (82 mis.) ; the 
Richmond & Danville R. R. {i^i^ mis.); the 
Richmond, Frederieksburgh & PoLomac R. R. 
(86 mis.); the Richmond &, Petersbur;'!! R. R. 
(25 mis.) ; the Soaljoard & Roanoke R. 11., from 
Portsmouth to Weldon, N. C. (80 mis.), and the 
Washington & Ohio R. R., from Alexandria to 
Hamilton (44 mis.). 

The James River and Kanawha Canal is the 
oldest internal improvement in the state, and 
is at present eonijjieted from Richmond to Bu- 
chanan, beyond Lynchburgh. When com- 
pleted to the Ohio R., as it will be at no distant 
day, this canal must become one of the great 
commercial highways of the country, as it will 
bring the magnificent harbor of N'orfolk 293 
mis. nearer to all places on the Mississippi R., 
above its junction with the Illinois R., than 
New York is by the present routes, thus giving 
the N. W. a water route through Va. to the sea- 
board much shorter than the one by the lakes 
and the Krie Canal to New York,

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — Tlie total assessed 
value of taxable propertv ia Va. was, in 1870, 
$305,439,917, of wliicli *27'.),116,017 were foi' real 
estate and $S6,323,900 for personal estate. The 
true, or estimated, value, however, was $109,- 
588,133, against $7'.)3,2-t!),681 in 18(50 and $430, 701.082 
in 1850, which last two sums include the value 
of property in W. Va. 

The total, not national, tax.ation in 1870 was 
$4,613,798. Of this sum $2,847,635 were for the 
state, $842,069 for the counties, and $924,u94 for 
towns and cities. 

The public debt in 1870 amounted to $55,921,255, 
including $39,298,225 bonded state debt, $8,092,614 
other state debt, $1,355,766 county debts, and 
$7,163,650 town and city debts. Tbe amount of 
State debt on September 30, 1872, was $45,718,112. 

Education, etc. — Va. had, until recently, no 
system of public free schools. In March, 1870, 
the first State Superintendent of Public In- 
struction was appointed, and the new school 
bill became a law in July tlio same year. Be- 
fore the end of the first scholastic year, 1871, 
the number of schools had increased to 2,900, 
with about 130,469 pupils and 3,000 teachers. 
There is now every prospect that Va. will 
steadily progess on the road begun, and at no 
distant day will otfer to her growing popula- 
tion a system of thorough instruction. 

Before 1860 the state had 23 colleges with 2,824 
students, which were mostly closed during the 
war, a part of the building.s being burned and 
others used as hospitals or barracks. The Col- 
lege of William and Mary, at Williamsburgh, 
was chartered in 1693. The buildings were des- 
troyed during the war ; but in tlie fall of 1865 
the college was re-opened, and in 1871 it had 12 
professors and 76 students. Washington and 
Lee Universitjr, at Lexington, was founded in 
1782, and had, in 1871, 22 professors and 305 stu- 
dents. The University of Virginia, in Albe- 
marle CO., founded in 1825, was a flourishing 
institution in 1860, when it had 600 students. 
This number had diminished to less than ,50 in 
1863, but in 1871 it had 317 students and 19 teach- 
ers. Provision has been made by the Legisla- 
ture for the admission of one student from 
each senatorial district, without payment of 
fees and rents. 

The Press of the state consisted, in 1870, of 114 
papers with an annual circulation of 143,804, of 
which 16 were dailies, 7 tri-weeklies, 8 semi- 
weeklies, 69 weeklies, 4 semi-monthlies and 10 
monthlies. 

Oovernmenl. — Va. framed a state constitution 
iu July, 1776, anil ratified the United States 
constitution in June, 1788. In 1861 the state of 
W. Va. was formed and set off from the old 
commonwealth. A new state government was 
instituted in 1863 at Alexandria. A convention 
which met in Februaiy, 1864, abolished slavery. 
In May, 1865, a provisional Governor was ap- 
pointed by the President of the United States. 
In Deceniber, 1838, a convention met at liich- 
mond and framed a constitution which was 
adopted in July, 1869. Tlie state was admitted 
to representation in Congress January 26, 1870. 

Every male citizen of the United "States 21 
years of age, who shall have been a resident of 
the state for twelve months and of the co., city 
or tn. in which he shall otfer to vote, three 
months next preceding any election, shall be 
entitled to vote. 

The chief executive power of the common- 
wealth is vested in a Governor, who holds the 
office for the term of four years, to commence 
on the first day of January next succeeding 
his election. The Governor is elected by the 
voters of the state at the times and places of 
choosing members of the General Assembly ; 
must be a citizen of the United States, and, if 
of foreign birth, must have been a citizen of 
the United States for ten years next preceding 
his election. He must have attained the age of 
thirty years, and must have resided in the 



state tUree years next preceding his election. 
A Lieutenant-Governor is elected at the same 
time and for tbe same term as the Governor, 
and his qualification and the manner of his 
election must be the same. The Secretary of 
the Commonwealth, Treasurer and Auditor of 
Puljlic Accounts are electeil by the joint vote 
of the two houses of the General Assembly, 
and continue in office for the term of two years. 
There is a Board of Public Works, consisting 
of the Governor, Auditor and Treasurer. 

The legislative power is vested in the Gen- 
eral Assembly, which consists of a Senate and 
House of Delegates. The House of Delegates 
is elected biennially by the voters of the sev- 
eral cities and cos., and consists of 138 mem- 
bers. The Senate is elected for the term of 
four years, and consist,s of 43 Senators, repre- 
senting the 40 districts into which the state is di- 
vided. The General Assembly meets annually, 
and no session continues longer than 90 days 
without the concurrence of three-fifths of the 
membei's elected to each House, in which case 
the session may be extended for not more than 
30 days longer. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court of Appeals, Circuit Courts and County 
Courts. The Court ot Appeals consists of five 
judges, any three of whom may hold a court. 
It has appellate jurisdiction only, except in 
cases of habeas corpus, mandamus and prohi- 
bition. It has no jurisdiction in civil cases 
where the matter in controversy is less than 
$500, except in controversies concerning the 
title and boundaries of land, etc. The judges 
are chosen by the joint vote of the two houses 
of the General Assembly and hold their office 
for a term of twelve years. The state is di- 
vided into sixteen judicial circuits, for each of 
which a judge is chosen by the joint vote of the 
two houses of the General Assembly for a term 
of eight years. A Circuit Court is held at least 
twice a year by the judges of each circuit in 
every co. and corporation thereof. In each co. 
of the commonwealth there is a County Court, 
which is held monthly by a judge learned in 
the law of the state and chosen for a term of 
six years. In each city or tn. containing a 
population of 5,000 there is elected by the joint 
vote of the two houses of the General Assem- 
bly one City Judge, who holds a Corporation 
or Hustings Court of said city or tn.

WASHINGTON, one of the western tcrri-

ca, on the E. by Idaho Ter., on the S. by Oreg., 
on the W. by the Pacific Ocean, on the N. W. by 
the Strait of .Juan de Fuca, the Canal de Har'o 
and the Gulf of Georgia, which waters separate 
it from Vancouver's Island. It extends from 
45° 33' to 49° N. lat., and from 117° to 124° 41' W. 
long., and has an area of 69,994 sq. mis., or 44,796,- 
160 acres. 

Sitr/ace. — The Cascade Mts. intersect the ter- 
ritory from N. to S. and divide it into an east- 
ern and western portion. This lofty range 
forms an unbroken mountain belt of from 5,000 
to 8,000 feet in height above the sea, and bears 
a number of lofty peaks, as ;Mt. Baker in What- 
com CO. (10,719 feet), Mt. Rainier in Pierce co. 
(14,444 feet), Mt. Adams in Klikitat co. (about 
9,000 feet), and Mt. St. Helens in Skamania co. 
(about 9,750 feet). The portion of the territory 
which lies W. of the Cascade Mts. consists of the 
basin of Pnget Sound , a very fertile plain , which 
is the northern continuation of the Willamette 
Valley of Oreg., having the same width and the 
same natural barriers ; the Cascade Mts. in the 
E. and the Coast Ranges in the W. The latter 
extend along the coast of the Pacific Oceati 
from the Columbia R. to the Strait of Juan do 
Fuca, and attain tlieir highest elevation in Mt. 
Olympus, .Jetterson co., which is estimated to be 
8,150 feet above the sea. Paget Sound extends 
for 2S0 mis. from N. to S. and has a very irregu- 
lar outline. The main entrance into it from 
the Strait of Juan de Fuca is the Admiralty 
Inlet, between Jefterson co. and Whidby's Is- 
Island. Between the Canal de H.aro aiid the 
Rosario Strait lie the San Juan or Haro Islands, 
which were long claimed by Great Britain, but 
have recently been adjudged to belong to the 
United States by the Emperor of Germany, 
who had been invited by both governments to • 
arbitrate their respective claims. The group 
includes the following islands: San Juan or 
Haro or Bellevue, Orcas, Lopez, Patos, Stuart, 
Waldron, John's, Speidens.Shaws, Blakeley and 
Decatur, besides some smaller ones. 

The portion of tlie territory which lies E. of 
the Cascade Mts. is mountainous in the N.. but 
in the S. consists of the " Great Plains " of tlie 
Columbia R., lying between this stream and its 
tributary the "Snake R. These plains extend

from the Bitter Root Mts. in the E. to the Cas- 
cade Mts. in the W'., cover an area of more than 
25.000 sq. mis. and constitute an immense graz- 
ing ground. The soil consists uniformly of 
light loam, mixed with more or less alkali. 

iJirers.— Wash, is drained chiefly by the Col- 
umbia R., which enters the N. E. extretnity of 
the territory, flow.s S. S. W. to its junction with 
the Spokane R., which rises in the Bitter Boot 
ilts., and then turns westward to its junction 
■with the Okinakane R., wliich issues from 
Okinakane L. in British America. From this 
point it flows in a southerly direction, skirting 
the eastern foot-hills of the Cascade Mts., and 
receives its largest tributary, the Snake R. 
From the month of Walla Walla R., near the 
4<ith parallel, the Columbia flows W., breaking 
through the Cascade Mts. Below Fort Vancou- 
ver it receives the Willamette R. of Oregon, 
and turns N. as far as the mouth of the Cowlitz 
B., whence it flow.s again W., emptying through 
a wid(! estuary between Cape Disappointment 
and Point Adams. The tributaries it receives 
from the Cascade Mts. are the outlet of Lake 
Chelan, the Pi.squause R., the Yakima R., which 
joins it a short distance above the mouth of 
Snake R., the Klikitat R.; the Lewis R., which 
is formed by the North and South branches; 
the Cowlitz "R., which receives Toutle and Til- 
ton Rs., Strongs R. and Gray's R. 

The north-western part of Wash, is drained 
by numerous small streams, which empty into 
bays and inlets of the Paciflc Ocean. The Wil- 
lopah R. empties into the large Shoalwater B., 
N. of the mouth of the Columbia. The Cheha- 
lis R. rises 40 mis. N. E. of the mouth of the 
Columbia, in the Coast Ranges, runs E. for 15 
inls., receives the Newaukuin R. and thence 
flows N. and N. W., emptying into Gray's Har- 
bor. The Nisqually R. ri.ses S. of Mt. Rainier, 
in the Cascade Mts., flows in a W. N. VV. direc- 
tion and empties into the southern extremity 
of Puget Sound, 11 mis. from Olympia. The 
Puyallup R. rises on the western slope of Mt. 
Rainier, and flowing parallel to the Nisqually 
R., through Pierce co., empties into Commence- 
ment B. of Puget Sound. The next river to the 
N. is the White, which empties into Elliott B. 
of Admiralty Inlet, and receives the Cedar R., 
which drain.s Samamishand Washington lakes. 
The Snohomish R. joins the waters of the Sound 
opposite Whidby's Island. Its upper course is 
called the Snoqualmie R., which rises in a pass 
of the Cascade Mis., of .3.000 feet elevation. A 
small river, the Stalukwaniish, intersects the 
northern part of Snohomish co. and empties 
into Port Susan. The Skagitt R. drains a large 
portion of the Cascade Mts.. has in the main W. 
S. W. course through Whatcom co. and joins 
the Sound by two sepai-ate cliannels, 7 mis. 
apart. The most northerly of these sound 
rivers is the Nooksahk, or Lummi, which rises 
N. of Mt. Baker and empties into Bellingham 
and Lummi Bs. by separate channels. 

Cliiruite and Vcc/etalion.—W'UHh. hsis a much 
milder climate than the region in the same lati- 
tudes E. of the Rocky Mts. The mean annual 
temperature of the coast, the Puget Sound ba- 
sin and the vallevs of the Columbia and Snake 
Rs., is over5i°, and decreases to less than 44° 
toward the N. Meteorological observations 
made for several years at Ftnt Steilacum, in hit. 
47° 7' gave the following mean moni hly tempera- 
tures: .Januarv, 38°: February, 40.12='; March, 
41.1-2° ; April, 48.1'2° ; May, ,5(>.10° ; June, 61° ; .July, 
61.14°; August, (i4°; September. ,5S.14; October, 
.'j-2.10°; November. 46° ; December, 3^°. Thus 
the diiference between the coldest and hottest 
months of the year was bufit; degrees, and this 
equability characterizes the climate of the 
whole territory. The precipitation of moisture 
(rain and snow) is very unequally distriliuted. 
While the region W. of the Cascade Mts. re- 
ceives from »! inches, near that range, to 80 
inches along the coast, an amount as great as 



that precipitated on the Mississippi Delta and 
southern Fla., the region E. of the Cascade Mts. 
ranks among the most arid in tiie United States, 
where the rain-fall rangefe from 12 inclies, on 
the plains, to about 20 and 24 inches in the more 
elevated districts. With regard to health, the 
territory compares favorably with any portion 
of the country, being free from malarious dis- 
eases and in every way conducive to vigor and 
longevitj-. 

The Coast Ranges, the basin of Puget Sound 
and the western declivities of the Cascade Jits., 
including a few small prairie districts, are cov- 
ered with dense forests of pines, flrs and ce- 
dars. Maple, elm, ash and alder grow exclu- 
siv(!ly along ilie streams. The arid region E. ot 
the Cascade Mts. is but moderately timbered, 
forests growing only among the mountains, 
while the extensive plains are covered with 
grasses and herbs. 

Population. — Wash, was settled by emigrants 
from the northern and western states. In 1S60, 
the population was 11,594, and in 1870, 23,955, of 
whom 22,195 were Avhites, 207 colored, 234' Chi- 
nese and 1,319 Indians. The Indians sustaining 
tribal relations numbered 13,477. 

The natives of the United States numbei-ed 
18,931, including 6,932 natives of the territory ; 
those of foreign countries numbered 5,024, of 
whoiii 1,121 were born in British America, 645 in 
Germany, 791 in England, 1,047 in Ireland and 
309 in Scotland. 

In all classes of occupations there were en- 
gaged 9,760 persons, viz.: in agriculture, 3,771 ; 
in professional and personal services, 2,207 ; in 
trade and transportation, 1,129 ; in manufactures 
and mechanical and mining industries, 2,653. 

3/inera/«.— Gold is found on the Columbia R., 
especi.'illy in the N. E. corner of the territory. 
Coal of good quality has been discovereil in 
various localities among the Coast Ranges, on 
the tributaries of the Columbia and on the 
small streams which empty into the Pacific 
Ocean. Very extensive coal fields occur near Bel- 
lingham B. and back of Seattle, on Lake Wash- 
ington . 

Agriculture. — The cultivable lands of Wash., 
though comprising but a small part of the 
total area, are sufficiently extensive to make 
agriculture the most important source of 
wealth. They are in the river bottoms and 
valleys and along the sea-coast, and consist 
chiefly of a sandy clay loam, which has been 
formed by the wash from the mountain sides. 
The average temperature of the three siunmer 
months (63 degrees) is sulHcient to mature the 
earliest kinds of corn, to produce excellent po- 
tatoes and all kinds of root crops. The cool 
nights preclude the raising of the grape and the 
peach, but the apple, pear, plum and cherry 
bear regular and heavy crops of the best quality. 
Small fruit of every description is also produced 
in the greatest abundance. 

East of the Cascade Mts. the country is 
mostlv unoccupied, the settlements being con- 
fined 'to the Walla Walla, Columbia, Yakima 
and Palouse valleys, which contain large areas 
of good farm lands. 

In 1870 there were 3.127 farms in the territory, 
of which 889 had from 3 to 10 acres ; 415 from 10 
to 20 acres : 772 from iO to 50 acres ; 424 from 50 
to 100 acres ; 575 from 100 to 500 acres ; 40 from 
.500 to 1,000 acres, and 12 over 1,000 acres. The 
farms included 192.016 acres of improved land, 
291,206 acres of wooiUand and 165.917 acres of 
unimproved land, and their casli value was 
$3,978,341. Th(^ estimated value of all farm pro- 
ductious, including improvements ami addi- 
tions to .stock, was i!!2,lll,9i(2. There were pro- 
duced 186,1,80 bush, of spring wheat, 30,86;{ bush, 
of winter wheat. 4,4.i3 bush of rye, 21.781 bush. 
of Indian-corn, 2.5.>.l69 bush, of oats, .55,787 bush, 
of barlev, 2,80,719 bush, of Irish pot's, 1,682 lbs. 
of tobacco, 162,713 lbs. of wool, 407.306 lbs. of 
butter, 6,162 lbs. of hops and 30,233 tons of hay.

Tlie live stock had a value of $2,103,343, and 
comprised 11,138 horses, 943 mules and asses, 16,- 
938 milch cows, 2,181 working oxen, 28,135 other 
cattle, 44,063 sheep and 17,491 swine. 

iI/rtni//oc/:«>-es.— The chief products of industry 
of the territory are lumher and flour. In, 1870 
it had 7 planing mills, producing planed lum- 
ber to the value of $(516,100, and 46 saw mills 
producing sawed lumber to the value of $1,307,- 
585. The yellow fir, which often grows 250 to 
.300 feet high and from 6 to 7 feet thick, is most 
used for lumber, as it is strong. and durable and 
highly valued for ship-building. Masts for 
ships may readily be obtained straight and free 
from knots, more than 100 feet long. The mills 
Htand mostly on Jniget Sound, within easy 
reach of the ships, which take the prepared 
lumber to San Francisco, the Sandwich Islands, 
Japan, China and Europe. 

There were, in 1870, 20 flouring and grist mills, 
turning out flour and meal to the value of 
$321,103. The total number of manufacturing 
establishments was 269, using 38 steam-engines, 
of 1,411 horse-power and 52 water-wheels of 
1,412 horse-power. The hands employed num- 
bered 1,026, the cav>ital invested in manufactur- 
ing amounted to $1,893,674, and the wages paid 
to $574,936. The materials consumed had a 
value of $1,435,128, and the commodities pro- 
duced of $2,8.51,052. 

Commerce and Railroads. — The foreign com- 
merce of Wash., consisting chiefly in the ex- 
portation of lumber, spars, piles, living ani- 
mals and flour, is extensive and is carried on 
through the ports of Puget Sound, which con- 
stitutes the only customs district of tlie terri- 
tory. In 1871 the imports from foreign countries 
had a value of $32,914 ; the exports of domestic 
commodities to foreign countries of $487,081, 
and of foreign commodities of $1,.588. The 
commercial fleet owned in tlie territory con- 
sisted of 64 sailing vessels of 17,858 tons, 24 
steamers of 3,032 tons and 8 unrigged vessels of 
167 tons, makmg a total of 96 vessels of 21,058 
tons. 

The branch of the Northern Pacific R. R., 
from Puget Sound to Portland, Oreg., on the 
Columbia R.. is the only railway of Wash. It 
runs from N. to S. through the Puget Sound 
basin, and is completed for a distance of 106 mis. 

The Fisheries are destined to hold a promi- 
nent place among the business pursuits of the 
territory. Puget Sound, wath its numerous 
inlets, bays and strails, is the center of this 
interest. "It abounds in salmon of large size 
and the finest qualitj'. Halibut is next in im- 
portance. Cod-fish are caught in various locali-. 
ties of the Pacific coast by vessels owned on 
the sound. For a distance of 50 mis. from its 
mouth, the Columbia R. offers great facilities 
for salmon fishing. The variety of salmon 
known as the "Chinook" comes in countless 
numbers, and is taken but a few hours re- 
moved from salt water. Five establishments 
on the river have canned nearly 2,000,000 pounds 
during the season of 1870. Shoalwater B. fur- 
nishes large quantities of oysters for the Pa- 
cific coast trade. 

Wealth and Taxation.— The assessed value of 
real estate was, in 1870, $5, 146,776, and of person- 
al estate $5,496,087. The true or estimated value 
of both kinds of propertv was $13,562,164 in 
1870, against $5,601,466 in 1860. The total, not 
national, taxation amounted to $163,992, of 
which $33,743 were territorial taxes, $119,291 
county taxes and $10,955 city and town taxes. 
Wash, has no territorial debt. 

Education. — By an amendatory act, approved 
Jul3% 1854, there were reserved to the territo- 
ries of Wash, and Oreg. two townshipsof land, 
of 36 sections each, to be selected for univer- 
sity purposes under the direction of the legis- 
latures of said territories respectively. At the 
session of 1860-61, the Legislative Assembly of 
Wash, located the university at Seattle, and 



created a board of commissioners to locate 
lands, sell the same ami contract for clearing 
and improving of the university site. 

According to the census, there were, in 1870, 
170 schools in Wash., with 85 male and 112 fe- 
male teachers and 5,499 pupils, of whom 3,537 
attended school. The ntimber of public com- 
mon schools was 154. The university had 1 
male professor .and 3 female teachers ; SO male 
and 59 female students. 

Oovernment.—Vi^AsXx., formerly a part of Oreg., 
was organized as a territory In March, 1853. The 
Governor and Secretary are appointed by the 
President of the United States, and the Audi- 
tor and Treasurer are chosen under territorial 
authority. The Legislative Assembly consists 
of a Council and House of Representatives, and 
convenes annually on the first Monday in De- 
cember. The Council is composed of niiie mem- 
bers, elected for three years, and the House of 
Representatives is composed of thirty mem- 
bers, elected for ojie year. 

The judicial power of the territorj' is vested 
in a Supreme Court. District Courts and .Justi- 
ces of the Peace. The Supreme Court consists 
of a Chief .Justice and two Associate .Justices, 
who hold their oftices during a term of 4 years. 
One term of the Supreme Court is helil annual- 
ly at the seat of government. For District 
Court purposes, the territory is divided into 
three judicial districts, in each of which the 
.Justices of the Supreme Court hold the sessions. 
For each of these districts a territorial Prose- 
cuting Attorney is elected by the people for a 
term of two years. 

The territory is divided into the following 22 
counties: Chehalis, Clallam, Clarke, Cowlitz, 
Island, .Jelferson, King, Kitsap, Klikitat, Lewis, 
Mason, Pacific, Pierce, Skamania, Snohomish, 
Stevens, Thurston, Wahkiakum, Walla Walla, 
Whatcom, Whitman, Yakima. 

Olympia is the territorial capital, and has a 
population of 1,203. The other places of import- 
ance are Seattle, Steilacoom City and Port 
Townsend.

■^Washington, city, capital of the L^nitcd 
States, territorial capital of the District of 
Columbia and co. seat of Washington co.; is 
situated on the N. bank of the Potomac R., 
between two tributaries of this stream known 
as Rock Cr. and the East Branch. It is the 
southern terminusof the Washinsjton Branch 
of the Baltimore & Oliio R. R., 40 mis. S. of 
Baltimore, and the northern terminus of the 
Alexandria & Washington R. R., 7 mis. N. of 
Alexandria and 116 mis. N. of Richmond, Va. 
The distance from AVashington to Philadel- 
phia is 136 mis., to New York 226 mis. and to 
Boston 432 mis. 

The site of the city was chosen in 1790, prior 
to which date there was here neither settle- 
ment nor village. In 1793 George Washington 
laiil the corner-stone of the Capitol ; in 1800 the 
seat of government was removed hither from 
Philadelphia, and two years later Washington 
was incorporated as a city. The ai'ca within 
the city limits is about 4}.^ mis. long by 2^ mis. 
■wide, and includes over fl sfj. mis. 

The plan of the city was made under the 
direction of George Washington and laid out 
by Aiulrew Ellicott. The whole site is tra- 
versed by streets running E. and W. and by 
streets running N. and S., so as to divide it 
into rectangular blocks. The streets running 
N. and S. are numbered : those running E. 
and W. are named alphabetically, A, B,C, etc., 
street. This general plot is again traversed 
by fifteen wide avenues, running diagonally 
from the N. W. toS. E. and from the N. E. to 
S. W. They are named from the fifteen states 
existing when the site of the city was chosen. 
Four of these avenues and North. South, East 
and "NVest Capitol streets, converge at the 
Capitol, and Uiuv other avi'iine.s converge at 
the Pn-sident's Mansion. Pennsylvania Ave- 
nue, which connects the latter with the Capi- 



tol, is the most important thoroughfare of 
the eitj-. 

There is perhaps no city in the Union that 
has a more beauiifnl situation than Washing 
ton. The portion of the city fionting the 
riv'er forms a level plain about 40 feet above 
tide-water, while the inland or N.E. juirt In- 
cludes rolling ground and picturesque hills, 
on the brow of one of which the National 
Capitol rears its proud and magnitieenl dome. 
Though situated at the head of navigation of 
a large stream, and having good railroad con- 
nections, Washington isnotacomtnercialcity, 
nor has it important manufacturing inter- 
ests. It derives its promiUcTit position solely 
from being the seat of the National Govern- 
ment, the residence of the Chief Magistrate 
and of the numerous offlchils and legislators 
who are entrusted by the American people 
■with the administration and management of 
their public concerns. 

Public Buildings. —The principal and bj' far 
the largest of the public buildings is the 
Capitol. It was destroyed by the British army 
in 1814, and rebuilt during the next ten >eai'S. 
Two immense wings have been added, the 
corner-stone of which was laid by President 
Fillmore in 1851. The whole structure now 
is 751 feet long from N. to S., and 325 feet wide. 
The dome, rising in the center, is 241 feet 
above the top of the building, and 3iHi feet 4 
inches above the gi-ouiui. The central por- 
tion of it (the old Capitol) is constructed of 
white sandstone, in the Renaissance style ; 
the two wings are built of white marble, in 
the Corinthian stft'le. In the center is a ro- 
tunda 96 feet in diameter, the walls of which 
are ornamented with historical paintings 
and sculptures. The dome is surmounted by 
atholus, upon which stands a colossal statue 
of Freedom, in bronze, 18 feet high. On the 
first floor is the Law Library, tlie Folding 
Room of the House, the rooms for the Agri- 
cultural Committee, the Naval Affairs Com- 
mittee, the ^Military Alfairs Committee, the 
heating apparatus, the restaurants, etc. The 
second is the main floor, and contains the ro- 
tunda, the Library of Congress (with 250,000 
volumes), the old Hall of Representatives 
and Senate Chatnber, now the room for the 
Supreme Court, and in the wings the new 
Hall of Representatives and Senate Chamber, 
besides committee rooms, reception rooms 
and numerous ofHces. Notable among the 
many works of art which adorn the Capitol 
are the picture of " Western Emigration," by 
Letitze ; the bronze door, by Crawford, at the 
eastern entrance to the Senate wing; the 
statue of Franlvlin, by Powers ; the statue of 
Hancock, by Stone, and the picture of the 
"Battle of Chapnltapec," by Walker. 

The Post-oJTice Department was erected in 
1836 but has been greatly enlarged of late. It 
is a palatial Itenaissanee building with Corin- 
tliian columns, balustrades ami other details. 
It covers an entire siiuaic between Seventh 
and Eighth streets and F and E streets, and 
is 300 feet long and 204 feet wide. 

The Patent Office stands opposite the pre- 
ceding, between Seventh and Ninth streets 
and F and G streets, and is 410 feet long and 
275 feet wide, inclosing a quadrangle of 265 by 
135 feet. It is built in the severe Doric style, 
and though quite plain is an imjiosing struc- 
ture. The lower stories are divided into ofil- 
ces, while the third story forms one saloon, 
running entirely around t he quadrangle, mea- 
suring 1,350 feet in length, and contains tlie 
collection of the models illustrative of the 
patents granted by the otfice. 

The President's Mansion, often called the 
White House, is situated nearly midway be- 
tween the Capitol and Georgelown, i]^ mlc. 
from the former. It is 170 feet long and §6 feet 
wide, and is constructed of sandstone, paint-

ed white, in the Ionic orilf r of iirchitccture. ( 
The building stands in a Ijeautifully laid out 
park ov pardon, and conitnands fine views 
down the Potomac K. to AUixandria and Fort 
Washington. A statue of JelTerson stands on 
the lawn N. of the building. 

The "War and Navy Departments are W. of 
the President's Mansion and inclosed within 
tlie same grounds. The former fronts on 
PennsylvaniaAvenue and Seventeenth Street, 
and S. of it stands the latter. Both are plain 
but commodious, and will doubtless be I'e- 
placed 1)y more imposing structures. 

The Treasury Department stands on Fif- 
teenth Street, between Pennsylvania Avenue 
and G Street. It was commenced in 1836. It 
is built on the Ionic style, is 4f)(j feet long, ex- 
clusive of the portico, and '2GG feet wide, and 
is, next to the Capitol, the largest and most 
elegant structure in the Union. The building 
Incloses three courts, each 130 feet square. 
The interior arrangements are admirable and 
the ornamentation impressive, and thi'ongh- 
out in the most refined taste. The Cash Room, 
or Banking Hoiise, is especially worthy of 
mention, as being two stories high, entirely 
incased in rich marble and ornamented with 
columns, those of the lower story of white 
Tennessee marble and those of the upper 
story of Carrara marble. 

The City Hall stands at the junction of 
Louisiana and Indiana avenues and at the 
head of Four-and-a-half Street. It is but par- 
tially completed and measures 200 feet in 
length. A fine marble statue of Abraham 
Lincoln stands in front of. the building. 

The Army Medical Museum is located on 
Tenth Street West, between E and F streets 
Korth. It was formerly Ford's Theater, ever 
memorable as the scene of the assassination 
of President Lincoln. 

The State Department is temporarils'- locat- 
ed in a large brick structure on Fourteenth 
Street, and was formerly the Protestant Or- 
phan Asylum. The new' State Department is 
being erected S. of the Navy Department and 
will form the S. wing of the contemplated 
building for the State,"War and Navy depart- 
ments. 

The National Observatory was founded in 
1S4'2, and is located on a higli hill near tlie Po- 
tomac, between the Pi'esiilent's Mansion and 
Georgetown. It is furnished with a line tele- 
scope and all the necessary instruments and 
appliances of a flrst-class institution of this 
kind. 

The Smithsonian Institution is situated on 
the Mall, and consists of a fine brown-stone 
structure, in the Norman or Romanesque 
style, with nine towers. It stands in an in- 
closurc of about 50 acres, which is oniament- 
ed with trees and shrubbery. The entire 
Ijength of the building, with w'iugs, is 450 feet. 
The building contains valuable collections, 
illustrating the various branches of natural 
history, a fine library room and lecture room. 
This noble institution was endowed by James 
Smithson, an Englishman of liberal education, 
for the purpose of increasing and diffusing 
knowledge among men. 

The Bureau of Agriculture stands directly 
W., and the National .Vrmory E., of the Smith- 
sonian Institution. Of the latter only the 
central part has been completed, which" is 103 
feet long and 57 feet -wide. 

At the southern end of the Mall, and near 
the Tiver, stands the incompleted Washing- 
ton Monument, which is designed toconsistof 
a temple or Parthenon, with an obelisk of 600 
feet in height. Thus far only 170 feet of the 
obelisk have been completed at a cost of $320,- 
000. 

The Arsenal grounds occupy Greenleaf's 
Point, the peninsula between the Potomac R. 
and the East Branch, and include the work- 



shops and store-houses, with vast quantities 
of ammunition and ordnance, the comnian- 
dant's residence and the quarters of the offi- 
cers and men. 

The Navy Yard, situated oji the East Branch, 
occupies an inclosed ground of 27 acres. 
There are two large ship-houses, a copper- 
rolling mill, a naval store-house, foundries, 
and manufacturing shops, turning out guns, 
shot and shell, and nearly all articles needed 
to fit out a man-of-war. Two squares N. of 
the Navy Yard are the Marine Barracks, the 
headquarters of the United States Marine 
Corps; in the immediate neighborhood of 
the same is the Marine Hospital. 

The Hospital for the Insane of the Army 
antl Navy and District of Columbia is on the 
E. bank of the Potomac, nearlv opposite the 
Navy Yard, and occupies one of the highest 
hills in the vicinity, affording the finest view 
of the city and the surrounding country. 

The Mditary Asylum, or Soldiers' Home, 
stands on a plateau three miles N. of the Capi- 
tol, is built in the Norman style, and when 
completed will be 593 feet long and 58 feet 
wide. At the center of the S. front rises a 
tower 82 feet high, from which a view is had 
of a panorama of country thirty miles in 
diameter. 

The Botanical Gardens occupy the square 
immediately W. of the capitol grounds, be- 
tween Pennsylvania and Maryland avenues. 
The hot and green-houses belonging to them 
are quite extensive, and are filled with nu- 
merous tropical trees, shrubs and flowers. 

The Congressional Cemetery is about one 
mile E. of the Capitol, in a high and command- 
ing situation, and contains many interesting 
monuments of prominent persons, as well as 
cenotaphs of all members of Congress who 
died while in office. 

One of the most famous scientific institu- 
tions of the country is the United States Coast 
Survey, w^hich occupies several large, but 
plain, brick structures at the corner of New 
Jersey Avenue, two blocks S. of the capitol 
grounds. Here are the maps of the harbors 
and coasts of the United States, reduced 
from original surveys, and beautifully en- 
gi-aved on copper. An able corps of military 
and naval officers and of civil engineers, 
draftsmen and scientific men perform the 
various labors. The present superintendent 
is the renowned mathematician, B. F. Pierce, 
who succeeded Professor A. D. Bache. 

The Corcoran Gallery of Art is situated at 
the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Sev- 
enteenth Street, and contains on the second 
floor a fine collection of paintings. The build- 
ing and the art treasures are the gift of the 
wealthy banker, W. II. Corcoran. 

The equestrian statues of Jackson and of 
Washington, by the sculptor Clark Mills, are 
worthy of mention. The former stands on 
La Fayette Square, opposite the President's 
house, the latter at the intersection of Penn- 
sylvania and New Hampshire avenues.

WEST VJRUINIA, one of the middle states; 

is bounded on the N. by Pa. ami Md., on the E. 

and S. by V^a. and on the W. by Ohio and Ky. it 

extends from 37° 6' to 39^ 37' N. lat., and from 77° 

43' to 82^ 33' W. long. Its area is estimated to 

be 23,000 sq. mis., or 14,720,000 acres. The Ohio li. 



separates it from Ohio, the Potomac R. from 
Md., the Big Sandy R. from Ky. and several 
ranges of the Appalachian Mts. "from Va. 

Surface. — W. Va. is elevated throughout and 
mostly mountainous. The south-eastern part 
of the state is traversed by mountain ranges, 
trending from the N. E. to S. W., and corres- 
ponds to the "Appalachian Conutrv" of Va. 
Great Flat Top Mt. extends to the S.'E. bound- 
ary of McDowell, Wyoming and Raleigh cos., 
and terminates on the western bank of the 
Great Kanawlia R. It gives rise to the Big 
Sandy R. and projects several spurs in a north- 
westerly direction, as Cagey's Ridge, Barker's 
Ridge, Great Cherry Pond Sit. and others. The 
Great Peters Mt. separates Mercer and Monroe 
cos. from Va. The principal range of the Alle- 
ghany Mts. trends along' the S. W. border of 
Greenbrier and Pocahontas cos., and then con- 
tinues its N. E. trend to the banks of the upper 
course of the Potomac R. The part of the state 
lying E. of this range is intersected by a series 
of parallel mountains, inclosing narrow and 
exceedingly fertile valleys, which are drained 
by affluents of the Potomac. The most impor- 
tant of these ranges are the New Creek Mt., 
Patterson treek Mt., the Middle Ridge, bound- 
ing the valley of the South Branch of the Po- 
tomnc R. on the W., and the Great North Mt., 
forming the eastern boundary of Hardy and 
Hampshire cos. The cos. of B'erkeleyand Jef- 
ferson include the most northern section of the 
Shenandoah Valley and form the eastern ex- 
tremity of the state. West of tlie principal 
range of the Alleghany Mts. are the Greenbrier 
Mt., Rich Sit. and the several ridges which sepa- 
rate the source streams of the Cheat R., as the 
Middle Mt., Sliavers Mt. and others. 

The western part of the state is a rolling table- 
land, gently sloping down from 2,.'j00 feet in the 
E. toiKJOfeet on the banks of the Ohio R., and 
may be termed the Trans-Appalachian Coun- 
try. It is intersected by tributaries of the Ohio 
R., which have eroded deep valleys, in many 
places a thousand feet below the general pla- 
teau level, so that navigable waters deeply 
penetrate into it. The bottom-lands of these 
valleys arc of wonderful fertility, while the up- 
lands are either well timbered or covered with 
beautiful meadow lands, well adapted to gra- 
zing antl dairying. The Trans-Appalachian 
Country is traversed by several broad-topped 
ranges, as Gaulej- Mt., Ivanawha Ridge, Guyan- 
dotle Mt. and Alum Mt. 

Hivers. — The two principal streams of W. Va. 
are the Ohio and Potomac. Both flow along its 
borders and drain the state with numerous 
affluents. The South Branch of the Potomac 
traverses a highly picturesque and fertile valley 
between the Patterson Creek Mt. and Branch 
Mt. The tributaries of the Potomac are New 
Cr., Patterson Cr., the Little and Great Cacapon 
Rs., Itock Cr., Opequan Cr. and the Shenandoah 
R. The Monongahela and Cheat Rs. drain the 
northern cos. of the state and unite in Pa. The 
other tributaries of the Ohio are Fishing Cr., 
Middle Island Cr., the Little Kanawha R., 
which empties near Parkersburgh, the Great 
Kanawha R., which empties near Mt. Pleasant, 
and the Guyandotte R. The Big Sandy R. and 
its eastern branch, the Tug Fork, form the west- 
ern boundary of W. Va. 

The Climate of W. Va. is similar to that of the 
Piedmont Country of Va., and the mean annual 
tenrpei-ature varies between 52 and 54 degrees. 
Rain falls in all seasons of the year and in suffi- 
cient quantity to support a luxuriant vegeta- 
tion. It amounts to from 40 to 45 inches per 
annum. 

JPopulation.—W. Va. was, until 1861, a part of 
Va. In 1S70 it had 442,014 inhabitants, of whom 
424,033 were white and 17,980 colored. The na- 
tives of the United States numbered 442,014, of 
whom 381,296 were born in tlie state, 15.497 in 
Pa., 12,164 in Ohio, 1,359 in N. Y., 7,323 in Md. and 



WEST VIRGINIA.

WEST VIRGINIA. 



2,288 in Ky. The foreign iDorn population 
amounted to 17,091, of wliotn 207 were natives 
of British America, 6,232 of Germany, 1,811 of 
Enj^land, 6,832 of Ireland, 746 of Scotland and 821 
of Wales. 

Tlie population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 308,424, and in all classes of occupa- 
tions were engaged 115,229 persons, viz : 73,900in 
agricultui'e, 16,699 in professional and personal 
services, 6,897 in trade and transportation and 
17,673 in manufactures and nieelianical and min- 
ing industries. 

Minerals and Mining.— VT. Va. is especially 
rich in cannel. splint and bituminous coal, one 
or more of these varieties being found under- 
lying over 15,000 sq. mis. of territory, which be- 
long to the great Appalachian coal" field, an ir- 
regular oval area, extending from northern Pa. 
to northern Ala.— in the gorge of New R. — on the 
line of the Chesapeake & Ohio R. li., a canyon 
from 1.200 to 1,500 feet below the general level 
of the country. The lower coal measures have 
an exposed thickness of some 50 feet, and include 
a seam of good coal of 6 feet. At many other 
localities seams of coal appear exposed in the 
blnlls and hill slopes, clearly showing the vast 
amount of this indispensable mineral underly- 
ing the state. Moreover, the coal l)eds are so 
accessible as to require no special skill in min- 
ing nor expeiuliture for drainage and ventila- 
tion. On the Little Kanawha R. are some of 
the most productive oil wells in the country, 
and millions of gallons are annually exported 
from them. In the same region is mined a solidi- 
fied petroleum, highly valued for the manufac- 
ture of lubricating oils. 

This region is also underlaid by salt-bearing 
rocks; and artesian wells, which have been 
sunk at various points, especially on the navi- 
gable streams, prodiice a brine from which 
large quantities of salt are manufactured. On 
the (ireat Kanawha above Charleston, from 
2,000,000 to 3,000,000 bush(;ls of tlu; very best salt 
are annually turned out. One establishment, 
the Snow Hill, in'oducing half a niillion bushels, 
that gives a bushel of salt to foity-five gal- 
lons from nine wells between 800 aiid 900 feet 
deep, and mines the coal to evaporate it from 
the hills that overlook the works. Bromine is 
made from the waste at the same point. Iron 
ores, fireclay, valuable building materials, es- 
pecially saiidstones, as well as good glass- 
making sands, abound in many parts of tlie 
state. 

A(jrieiiUurc.—'W . Va. has an .abundance of the 
most fertile laniis, especially in the numerous 
river valleys, and agriculture has heretofore 
been and stlill is the most important pursuit of 
the inhabitants. In 1870 it had 39,778 farms, of 
Avhieh 3,7.'i4 measured between Hand lOacrea, 
5,.591 between 10 ami 20 acres, 13,1.58 between 20 
and 50 aci'es, 9,077 between 50 and 100 acres, 7,813 
between 100 and .500 acres, and 242 between .500 
and 1,000 acres. The farms included 2.580,254 
acres of improved land (17.5.3 per cent, of the 
area of tlu! state), 4,3i!4,405 acres of woodland 
and 1,583,735 acres of unimproved lanil. 

The cash value of farms was iJlOl. 604,381 and 
of farming implements ■•{rf, 112, 937. The amount 
of wages paid was $1,903,788, and the estimated 
value of farm productions, including improve- 
ments and additions to stock, was $23,379,(i92. 
The products consisted of 3,395 bush, of spring 
Avheat, 2.4S(),148 bush, of winter wheat, 8,197,865 
bush, of Imlian-eorn, 50,363 bush, of barley,

Commerce and Railroads. — The commerce of 
W. Va. consists in the importation of articles 
of consumption and the exportation of flour, 
iron, salt, coal and coal oil and other products. 
The principal i-ailroad lines of the state are the 
Baltimore <& Ohio 11. R., tb.e main line of which 
intersects it from the Md. line to Wheeling 
(159 mis.), and from which the I'arkersburgh 
Branch turns otf at Grafton (99 mis.) ; the 
Chesapeake & Ohio R. R-, from the Va. state 
Hue to Huntington, on the Ohio R- (200 mis.); 
the Bittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. L,onis R. II, 
and the Hempfield R. R. intersect the so-called 
" Panhandle," the northern extremity of the 
state, which lies between the Ohio R. and the 
Pa. state line. The total railroad mileage in

mated receipts at the treasury for the year end- 
ing September 30, 1873, were $i49.39S, and for the

bable that it will assume one-third of the debt 
of Va., as it stood before the separation of the 
old state- The countv debts amounted, in 1870, 
to $329,833, and the town and city debts to $-231,- 
934. 

Education, Press, etc. — In pursuance of a re- 
quirement of the new constitution, a system 
of public schools has been inaugurated, which 
has already made good progress, and promises 
to provide educational facilities for all the 
children of the state. A permanently invested 
school fund has been created, which, in 1872, 
amounted to $2.5(),300. This fund will be in- 
creased from certain sources set apart by act 
of the legislature, and the interest derived 
from it will lighten the state and local tax 
levies for school purposes. A State Superin- 
tendent of Free Schools is elected biennially 
by the Legislature, and in each county there is 
a county superintendent, who examines teach- 
ers, visits schools within his county and re- 
ports annually to the State Superintendent. 
There were, in 1872, 2,479 schools and 2,216 school- 
houses, which had cost $1,236,194. The number 
of children of school age (from 6 to 20 years-) 
was 170,035. but of these only 85,765, or about one 
half, attended .school. 

The three normal schools (at Iluntingtoii, 

Fairinonnt and West Liberty) are In snecesslul 

I operation. The normal school at Huntington, 

called " Marshall Collese," was attended in

Government. — "VV. Va. formed part of the com- 
monwealth of Va. until the latter seceded from 
tlie Union. In June, 18G1, delegates from 39 cos. 
assembled at Wheeling to protest against the 
act of secession, and to organize a provisional 
government. Another convention met in Au- 
gust, 18ol, and passed an ordinance providing 
for an election to be held in October to decide 
upon the question of organizing a new state 
to be ea! led the "State of Kanawha," embrac- 
ing 39 of the western cos. of Va. The constitu- 
tion of the new state was ratified by the pt!0- 
ple in May, 18(32. Congress passed an act, ad- 
mitting the state on condition of the adoption 
of certain amendments to the constitution. 
These changes were made and ratifled by the 
people, anci on April 20, 1863, the Presideiit of 
United States declared, by proclamation, that 
the new constitution should take effect in 60 
days from that <late. In March, 1866, the cos. of 
Jefferson and Berkeley were recognized by 
Congress as annexed to the state of W. Va. 
Another convention was held, and the new con- 
stitution agreed upon in April 1872 was ratified 
in August. 

The male citizens of the state are entitled to 
vote at all elections held within the counties 
In which they reside, except persons who have

days next preceding an election. 

The legislative power is vested in a Senatp

" the L/egislature of VV. Va." The Senate is 
composed of 24 meml^ers, one-half of whom are 
elected biennially for the term of 4 years. The 
House is composed of 65 Delegates, who are

ney General, wlio is ex-officio Reporter of the 
Court of Appeals. These officers are elected by 
the legal voters of the state for a term of four 
years, commencing on March 4th next after 
their election. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court of Appeals and in Circuit Courts and the 
judges thereof; in County and Corporation 
Courts and in .Justices of the Peace. The Su- 
preme Court is comppsed of four judges, who 
are elected by the voters of the stat-e for the 
term of twelve years. It has original jurisdic- 
tion in cases of habeas corpus, mandamus and 
prohibition, and appellate jurisdiction in civil 
cases where the matter in controversj"^ exceeds 
$100 in value, exclusive of costs ; in contro- 
versies concerning the title or boundaries of 
land, probate of wills, the appointment or quali- 
fication of a personal representative, guardian, 
committee or curator, or concerning a mill, 
roadway, ferry or landing, or the right of a 
corporation or county to levy taxes. It has ap- 
pellate jurisdiction in criminal cases where 
there has been a conviction for felony or mis- 
demeanor in a Circuit Court, aiid where a con- 
viction has been had in any inferior court and 
been affirmed in a Circuit Court. The state is 
divided into nine circuits, for each of which a 
judge is elected by the voters thereof, who 
holds his office for a term of eight years. A 
circuit court is held in every county twice a 
year. The Circuit Courts have the supervisioa 



of all proceedings before the County Courts and 
other inferior tribunals, and with certain ex- 
ceptions have oiiginal and general jurisdictioa 
of all matters at law where the amount in con- 
troversy exceeds $50. They have appellate ju- 
risdiction in all cases of judgments, decrees 
and linal orders rendered by the County Court 
where the matter in controversy exceeds $20 in 
value. 

In each county there is n, County Court, which 
is composed of a President and two Justices of 
the Peace. It holds six sessions during the 
year. The Presitlent is elected by the voters 
of the county for four years. Each county is 
laid off into districts, not less than three nor 
more than ten in number, in each of which one 
or two Justices of the Peace are elected by the 
voters thereof for four years.

low Pittsburgh ana 379 nils, hy rail W. by X. 
of Baltiinort^. Tin; city occupies an iilluVial 
plain extending some tliree miles along the 
K. and shut in on the east by hills. It is sub- 
stantially built, but not prepossessing in ap- 
pearance owing to the large use of bitumin- 
ous coal in its manufactories. It is advan- 
tageously situated for river commerce, and 
in 1872 its commercial fleet numbered i3G ves- 
sels with a capacity of 14,000 tons. Its situa- 
tion for inland commerce is equally eligible, 
being .-it the N. W. terminus of the "Wlueling 
Division of the Baltimore & Ohio R. 11.. at \V. 
teiininus of Wheeling & Pittsburgh (Hemp- 
fleld) II. R., and connected by a beaiitiful wire 
suspension bridge over the Ohio witli Bridge- 
port, a station on the River Division of the 
Cleveland & Pittsburgh 11. R. The surround- 
ings are rich in coal-bearing and petroleum 
formations, and mining is an important in- 
terest. The contiguity of the coal-lieUls 
adapts the city for a manufacturing center, 
and in industries of this class it occupies a 
prominent position. The total number of 
manufacturing establishments in 1870approxi- 
mated '.i70, employing 7,000 liorse-power, near- 
ly 4,000 hands and a capital of .$4,000,000, pay- 
ing $2,000,000 in wages, using material to the 
extent of $3,500,000, and turning out an annual 
product of $10,500,000. The range of manu- 
factured articles is wide, covering iron in all 
its varieties, nails, glassware, cotton goods, 
•wire, flour, woollen goods, machinery, silk- 
goods, white lead, etc. Wheeling became the 
CO. seat in 1797. It was the capital of the state 
for a short period after separation of W. Va. 
from Va. In 1802 it contained 70 houses. Pop.,

WISCONSIN is bounded on the W. by Minn, 
and Iowa, on the S. by 111. and on the N. W. by 
tlie northeiTi peninsula of Mich. With the ex- 
cey^tion of the southern border, which follows 
neai'ly the 43d parallel of N. lat ., the limits are 
mostly determined bj' rivers and lakes. Lake 
Superior bordering it on the N., the Montreal 
and Menomonee Rs. (with a line connecting 
their sources) on the N. E., Lake Michigan on 
the K. and the Mississippi .and St. Croix Rs. on 
the W. The greatest length from N. to S. is 302 
nils.; the width varies from 146 mis. to 2.58 mis. 
The area is .53.924 sq. mis., or 34,511,360 acres. 

Surface. — Wis. has no lofty mountain ranges, 
but its surface is considerably diversified. The 
northern section of the state is the highest, 
and from thence the surface gradually descends 
toward the S. E. and S. W. Lake Sujierior is 
627 feet, and Lake Michigan 578 feet above the 
sea-level. The Mississipiii R., as far as it 
skirts Wis., is but little higher than Lake IMichi- 
gan, viz.: 24'^ feet at Prairie du Chien, 55 feet 
at La Crosse and 99 feet at the mouth of the St. 
Croix R. A line crossing the state from Lake 
Michigan to the Missis.sij)])!, near the southern 
bouiKlary, is but little more than 1,000 feet 
above the sea-level, or 500 feet above the lake, 
while the highest ground in the northern part 
of the state nowhere reaches 1,800 feet. The

Trap Ranfje, which extends westward from 
Kewenaw Point, rises in the Porcupine Mts. to 
a height of 1,380 feet. Thus the greatest eleva- 
tions near Lake Superior are less than 1,000 feet 
above the surface near the soixthern border of 
the state. This comparatively great height, 
attained so near tlie lake, gives a gentle incli- 
nation of the country to tlie soutliward, which 
will be more evident on observing the course 
of tlie principal rivers. Receding from tlie 
liilly country bordering Lake Superior, the 
wliole of tills northern central region is a vast 
plain, with here and tliero an isolated hill rising 
•iOO or 300 feet above tlie general surface of the 
country. It is everywhere wooded, excepting 
the small areas which are occupied by swamps. 

On the S. antl W. of this great plateau, and 
limited by the Wisconsin R. on the S. and the 
St. Croix on the N., is a broad belt of country 
occupied by the lower sandstone formation. 
Its varieties of surface are mainly due to the 
denmling action of the streams, which have 
cut their channels deeply into the underlying 
rocks. The highest points of this belt are 
about 500 or 600 feet above Lake Michigan. On 
approaching the Mississippi and AVisconsin Rs., 
where the sandstone rises in steep slopes or 
abrupt cliflFs, the plains are very productive, 
and the slopes may be converted into vine- 
yards. 

To the E. and S. E. of tlie northern central 
region the surface is covered by the drift ma- 
terials of the N. The eastern side of the state 
present^ a remarkable feature in the great val- 
ley, parallel to Lake Michigan, and in part oc- 
cupieil by Green U., the Eox R. as far as Lake 
Winnebago, and thence by Lake Horicon and 
Rock R. Eastward of this valley extends a 
narrow peninsula, beginning at Port de Morte, 
at the junction of Oreeii B. and Lake Slichigan, 
and widening toward the lake. 

From the valley of the Wisconsin R. toward 
the S. the country rises in clilfs and precipitous 
slopes for 200 or 300 feet, and above this with a 
more gentle slope for as much more, the usual 
height being 600 or 700 feet above the river. 

The eastern and southern sections of the 
state are by far the most valuable, having a 
fertile soil, and being well adapted to the rais- 
ing of cereals and fruits. As long as agricul- 
ture shall be the chief pursuit of the inhalji- 
tants, the interior portion of the state which 
lies N. of the parallel of Portage City will be 
but slowly settled. 

Rivers and Lakes.— Wis. enjoys extraordinary 
facilities for water transportation. Its coast- 
line on Lake Michigan is about 200 ii\ls., on 
Lake Superior 120 mis. and on the Mississippi 
B. 400 mis. The affluents of Lake Superior, 
owing to the structure of the country, are 
short and have much fall. The Montreal R. 
descends about 800 feet in little more than 30 
mis., and the fall of the other streams, which 
empty also into Lake Superior, as the Bad R., 
Bois Brulee R. and St. Louis R., is equally 
great. The Menomonee R., Peshtigo II., Ocon- 
to R., Pensaukee R. and Fox R., with its tribu- 
tary the Wolf, run into Green B. The Missis- 
sippi receives the Wisconsin, Black, Chippewa 
and St. Croix Rs. The St. Croix is navigable 
for 60 mis., and the Chippewa as high up as the 
falls. The lakes ami the Mississippi are con- 
nected by a short canal at Portage, uniting the 
navigable waters of the Fox and Wisconsin Rs., 
through which vessels may pass during high 
water. The bed of the Wisconsin froua Port- 
age to Sauk City has been freed from snags, 
and further improvements are in contempla- 
tion. The Rock R., which drains Lake Hori- 
con, flows through the southern part of the 
state and unites with the Mississippi near Rock 
Island, III. 

Climate.— The climate of Wis. is pleasant and 
cool, though not severe, and comparatively free 
from sudden changes. The southern part, em- 



bracing about one-third of the whole state, 
has a mean annual temperature of from 44° to 
47°. In the northern part the mean annual 
teniperature sinks down to about 41°. The 
summers are short ; the winters long and dry. 
The average temperature of winter is 20°, of 
spring and fall 47° and of summer 72°. The an- 
nual rain-fall varies from .30 to 31 inches, and is 
nearly equal throughout the state. Snow gen- 
erally falls before the ground is frozen and pro- 
tects the plants and crops from the severe win- 
ter frosts. 

The extensive forests which cover the north- 
ern and larger jjortion of the state yield excel- 
lent timber, and are a chief source of wealth of 
the state. They consist of basswood, maple, 
hickory, elm, ash, black walnut, butternut, oak, 
birch, poplar, hemlock, cedar and pine. The 
southern part of the state is an extensive prai- 
rie, without native tree or shrub, except on the 
banks of the streams. 

Population.— The settlement at Green Bay, 
made in 1669 by the French, was the first within 
the limits of the state, and for a considerable 
period remained the only one. But of late the 
growth has been very rapid. In 1840 the popu- 
lation was 30,945 ; in 1S50, 305,391 ; in 1S60, 775,881, 
and in 1870, 1,054,670. Tliis number includes 
1,051,351 whites, 2,113 colored persons and 1,206 
Indians out of tribal relations. The Indians 
living on reservations, or agencies, numbered 
10,315. 

In regard to nativity the population was dis- 
tributed as follows : Borii in the United States 
690,171, including 4.50,272 natives of the state, 
5,714 of Conn., 12,233 of 111., 6,415 of Ind., 2, 423 of 
Iowa, l,.58iofKy., S,i)3l of Me., 10,403 of Mass., 
.5,302 of Mich., 2,103 of Minn., 1.386 of Mo., 4,908 of 
K. H., 3,194 of N. .J., 105,697 of N. Y., 23.164 of Ohio, 
21,358 of Pa., 1,1,52 of R. I., 16,421 of Vermont and 
2,059 of Va. and W. Va., and born in foreign coun- 
tries 364,499, including 25,666 natives of Britisli 
America, 4,486 of Austria, 162.314 of Germany, 
6,069 of Switzerland, 2.704 of France, 28,192 of 
England, 48,479 of Ireland, 6,,590 of Scotland, 
6,550 of Wales, 5,990 of Holland, 40,046 of Norway 
and 2,799 of Sweden. 

The population of 10 years and over number- 
ed 751,704, of whom 292,808 were engaged in all 
classes of occupations, viz.: 159,687 in agricul- 
ture. 58,070 in professional and personal servi- 
ces, 21,534 in trade and transportation, and 53,- 
517 in manufactures and mechanical and miu- 
,ing industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — Lead, iron, copper and 
building materials constitute the chief mineral 
resources of the state. The lead mines are sit- 
uated in La Fayette, Green, Grant and Iowa 
COS., and yield about $500,00(3 worth of the metal 
per annum. The Penokee Iron Ridge, in Ash- 
land co., is one of the most extensive in the 
country, and contains rich mines, yielding ores 
of superior quality. It is situated about 20 inls. 
from the port of La Pointe on Lake Superior. 
Extensive iron deposits are in Sauk, Jackson 
and Dodge cos. Copper mines occur in the re- 
gion bordering on Lake Superior, but have thus 
far been developed to a limited extent only.' 
Kaolin, or porcc;lain clay, is found at Grand 
Rapids on the Wisconsin" R., and some zinc in 
the lead region. Peat and marl exist in vast 
beds, underlying the marshes, and are highly 
valued as fertilizers ; the former being also use- 
ful as fuel. 

./4(7?•^e»^^u^•e. — The best farming region of the 
state is the southern part, the prairies and river 
bottoms of which have a highly productive soil 
and are equally adapted to grain growing and 
stock raising. 

In 1870 Wisconsin had 102,904 farms, of which 
370 were under 3 acres large, 5,.535 from 3 to 10 
acres, 10,955 from 10 to 20 acres, 40,034 from 20 to 
50 acres, 30,060 from 50 to 100 acres, 15,776 from 
100 to 500 acres, 112 fjom 500 to 1,000 acres and 32 
over 1,C00 acres.

The fixi-ms incluiled 5,899,343 acres of improved 
land, 3,437,442 of woodland and ■2.378,536 of unim- 
proved land. The cash value of farms was $300,- 
414.064, and of farm implements %U.'239,364. The 
am.ouiit of wages paid wa.s .%8,186,11(), and the to- 
tal, estimated, value of farm productions, in- 
cluding additions to stock and improvements, 
was $78,0'27.03-2. 

The productions were : Spring wheat, 24,375,4.'55 
bush.; winter wheat, 1,2.30,W9 bush.; rye, 1,325,- 
294 bush.; Indian-corn, 1.5,033,998 bush.: oats, 20,- 
180,016 bush.; barlev,l,64.i,019 bush.; buckwheat, 
408,897 hush.; Irish pot's, 6,646,129 bush.; sweet

22,473,0.36 lbs.; wool, 4,090,670 lbs.; hops, 4.630,155 
lbs.; flax, 407,398 lbs.; maple sugar, 507,192 lbs.; 
lionev,299,.341 lbs.; hay, 1,287,6.51 tons. 

The live stock liad a value of ^45,310,882, and 
comprised 2.52,019 horses, 4,195 mules and asses, 
308,377 milch cows, 53.615 working oxen, 331,302 
other cattle, l,0i);t,282 shtiep and 512,778 swine. 

The vast forests of the state support a very 
extensive lumbering business, especially in the 
northern and western counties. The pineries 
of Marathon, Chippewa, Clark, Wood and St. 
Croix furnish millions of feet of lumber. The 
forest products in 1S70 had a value of $1,327,618. 

Manu/acliires. — The manufacturing industry 
of Wis.' is steadily increasing, and in 1870 the 
state occupied the 13th place in the Union with 
regard to the value of manufacturing products. 
There were 7,013 establishments (against 3,064 
in 18()0), which used 926 steam-engines of 30,509 
horse-power, and 1,288 water-wlieels of 33,714 
horse-power. The number of hands empioved 
was 43,910 ; the amount of wages paid, %13, 575,642, 
and the capital invested, $41,981,872. The mate- 
rials consumed had a value of §4.5,851,266, and 
the commodities produced, of $77,214,.326. 

The principal products, with their respective 
values, were : Agricultural implements, $2,393,- 
428; boots and shoes, $2,271,428; carriages and 
wagons, $2,.596,534 ; mcni's clothing, *2,260,004 ;

lumber. $15,r29,S69 ; sash, doors and blinds, $1,- 
852,379, and woollen goods, $1,115,646. 

Commerce and Rail rondn.— Wis. possesses ex- 
cellent commercial facilities in the navigable 
waters that surround it on nearly all sides, and 
the rivers that intersect it, as the Wisconsin. 
Fox and Chippewa Rs. There are exporteil 
from the ports on Lake Michigan, especially 
from Milwaukee, large quantities of grain, 
flour and lumber. The foreign commerce, how- 
ever, of the state is small ; the exports and im- 
ports amounting in 1872 to only $1.. 59.5,079. 

The first railroad was built in 1850. Ten years 
later the railroad mileage was 905 ; in 1870, 1,.525, 
and in 1872, 1,878. The principal lines are the 
Milwaukee & St. Paul R. U., wliicli, with its 
various branches, has a length of 1,396 mis.; the 
Mineral Point K. U., froni Mineral Point to 
Warren, III., with a branch from Calamine to 
*Platteville. (51 mis.); the Shebovgan & Fond du 
Lac R. R., (HO mis.); the West Wisconsin R. R., 
from Elroy to St. Paul, Minn. (197 nds.); and 
the Wisconsin Central R. R., from Menasha to 
Ashland (260 mis.), with branches from Mena- 
sha to Appleton City and from Stevens Point 
to Portage City. 

Wealth, Taralion and Debt.~T\\e n^scsfied valu- 
ation in 1870, of real estate, was $252,322,107, and 
of personal estate, $80,«.87,731. making a total for 
both kinds of property of $333,299,s:x The es- 
timated or true value of the same, however, 
was $7i'2,307,3-29, against $273,671.')6S in I860. The 
assessed valuation in 1871 was $4.55,900.800. and in 
1872, $.390,454,875. The state tax levied in 1871 was 
$(529,143, or I. .38 mills on the assessed valut; of 
real and personal estate, and in 1872, $76.5,292, or 
L96 mills on the same. 



At the close of the fiscal year, September .30, 
1872, there was a cash balance in the treasury 
of $2.3!i,109. The receipts of the treasury during 
the same year amounted to $1,060,477 and the 
disbursements to $1,076,443. The disbursements* 
comprised .$.'i37,.595 for ordinary expenses, as 
salaries of state officers, legislative expenses. 
Supreme Court, Circuit Court, printing, sta- 
tionary, etc., and $738,848 for extraordinary 
expenses, as for state institutions, $4.58,708 ; in- 
tei'cst of state debt, $160,032, and special appro- 
priations, $120,103. 

The debt of the state on September .30, 1872, 
was .$2,252,057, of which $2,233,900 were for cer- 
tificates of indebtedness in trust for the school 
fund, university fund, normal school fund and 
agricultural college fund. 

Education, etc. — Wis. has made liberal provi- 
sions for elementary and higher educational 
institutions. The public schools are under the 
supervision of a State Superintendent of Public 
Instruction and county and city superintend- 
ents. 

In 1872 the iiiimber of children over 4 and 
under 20 years of age was 423,717, of whom 
266,789 attended public schools, and 1.5,618 pri- 
vate schools. There were in the state 4,979 pub- 
lic school-houses and ^304 teachers. The valua-

the lofty Fremont Pk. (13,,570 feel), Union Pk., 
Mt. Havden (13,a58 feet) and others. The Rattle- 
snake Hills bound tlie valley of the Sweet 
Water R. on the N. and terminate on thejljanks

sist of several chains, -which cover a largre re- 
gion K. of the Big Horn R., and the Black Hills 
(not to he confounfled with the chain of tlie 
same name mentioned before) extend from 
Dak. Tcr. into Wyo. Ter., and oecnpy a region 
of more than 6,000 sq. mis., between tlie North 
and South Forks of the Cheyenne K. Tlieir 
highest pits, attain an attitude'of over 6,700 feet. 
Rivers and Lakes. — Wyo. is intersected by the 

freat continental divide, heie formed by the 
locky Mts. The N. E. part of it is drained by 
alHuents of the Missouri U.. as tlie Yellow Stone, 
Big Horn, Platte and others, and the S. \V. part 
by the Green. K., a branch of the Colorado of 
tiie West. 

The Yellow Stone R. issues from the Yellow 
Stone Lake in the N. part of Uintali co., and 
traverses that famous region which has been 
made by act of Congress a National Park, to be 
kept forever in its natural state, with Its stu- 
pendous canyons and waterfalls, gej'sers and 
volcanic sprnigs, and to remain unoccupied by 
settlers. Wind River has its rise near Fre- 
mont's Pk.; flows S. E. for nearly 100 mis. along 
the eastern foothills of the Wind River Mts., 
and after receiving the Popo Agie, turns N. antl 
passes along the base of the Big Horn Mts. 
under the name of Big Horn R. Grey Bull R. 
and Bad Water Cr. are its principal affluents in 
this territory. Powder R. rises in the Big Horn 
Mts., and witli its tributaries Little Powder Cr., 
Salt Clear Fork and Crazy Woman's Fork, 
drains a large portion of N. E. Wyo. 

The North and South Forks of the Shyenne 
R. intersect the E. part of the territory and 
drain the lofty group of the Black Hills with 
numerous small affluents. The North Platte R. 
enters Wyo. from the North Park of Colo. Ter., 
flows N. N. W. to its junction with tlie Sweet 
Water R. and then turns gradually E. through 
the valley between the Rattlesnake Hills and 
the ftlacli Hills, receiving Big and Little Lara- 
mie Rs. and other affluents. 

The Green R. rises in the Wind River Mts. 
and flows S. into Utah Ter. It receives the Big 
Sandy R., Bitter Cr., Current Cr., Muddy Fork 
and Henry's Fork, beside numerous smaller 
affluents. West of the Wind River Mts. rise 
two branches of the Snake R., the Gros Ventres 
and .John Gray's Rs. 

Climale.— The climate of \Vyo. is marked by 
great extremes, though on the whole mild ancl 
very salubrious. The mean annual temperature 
along the Rocky Mts. is about 36^ and thence 
increases to 45^ and 46° in the eastern part 
and to 42° in the south-western. The winters 
are extreme, especially among the mountains, 
but the summers are warm and in the valleys 
hot. The amount of rain and snow falling dur- 
ing the year averages about 12 inches, and only 
in the extreme eastern portion it rises to 16 in- 
ches and over. 

. The vegetation is scanty. Many of the moun- 
tain slopes and foothills produce bunch and 
bulTalo grasses, occasionally with scattering 
pine, spruce ami aspen timber, while the higher 
mountain flanks and the crests of the lower 
ranges are covered with pine, spruce and hem- 
lock forests. The trees often attain a large size 
and yield excellent lumber. 

Population.— Wyo. had, in 1870, 9,118 inhabi- 
tants, of whom' 8,7-26 were white, 183 colored, 143 
Chinese and 6() Indians. The Indian tribes living 
on reservations and agencies were estimated 
at '2,400 persons. 

The native population numbered 5,(i05 and the 
foreign population 3,513, inclusiveof 329 natives 
of British America, 6.52 of Germany, .556 of Eng- 
land, 1,102 of Ireland and 260 of Scotland. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
6,645 persons, of whom 165 were engaged in agri- 
culture, 3,170 in professional and personal ser- 
vices, 1,646 in trade and ti'ansportation and 1,664 
in manufactures and mechanical and mining 
industries. 



Minerals and Mining. — Like all the territories 
or states of the far west, Wyo. is rich in min- 
eral treasures. Gold mines have been opened 
near sevei'al stations of the Pacific R. li., and 
new discoveries have been made in other sec- 
tions. Gulch mining for gold is also carried on 
with good success. 

Extensive coal fields exist, often in juxtapo- 
sition with rich iron deposits. The large coal 
field which extends along the eastern base of 
the Rocky Mts. from Lodge Pole Cr. to the Ar- 
kansas R. in Colo. Ter., lies partly within this 
territory. On Cooper Cr., W. of Laramie, a 
seam of coal 9 feet thick has been opened, and 
there are others in the same locality of still 
greater thickness. Along the Union Pacific R. 
R. in, the W^estern part of the territory numer- 
ous coal discoveries have been made, and if 
they should all belong' to the same bed, the area 
underlaid by productive coal measures would 
be quite extensive and include the entire pla- 
teau of Green R. 

Iron seems also to be very abundant. Tho 
valley of the Chug Water R. is rich in magnetic 
iron ore of superior quality, and other ores are 
known to exist in the Black Hill country. Gyp- 
sum, copper and lead occur in several locali- 
ties, but are not yet worked. 

Agriculture. — The aridity of the climate ren- 
ders irrigation indispensable in farming, and as 
only the narrow valleys along the streams can 
be irrigated the area fit for farming is quite 
limited. 

In 1870 there were 175 farms in the territory, 
164 of which had less than 10 acres. The faims 
included 338 acres of improved land, 35 acres of 
woodland and 3,968 acres of unimproved land. 
The cash value of farms was $18,187, and the 
total, estimated, value of farm productions, in- 
cluding improvements and additions to stock, 
$42,760. According to the census the produc- 
tions were oats, 100 bush.; Irish pot's, 617 bush.: 
wool, 30,000 lbs.; butter, 1,200 lbs.; and hay, 3,180 
tons. The live stock had a value of !ii441,7'.)5, and 
included 584 horses, 283 mules and asses, 707 
milch cows, 922 working oxen,9,.501 other cattle, 
6,409 sheep and 146 swin'e. 

The 32 manufacturing establishments pro- 
duced goods to the value of $765,424. They used 
13 steam-engines of 310 horse-powei', and two 
water-wheel's of 34 hoi-se-power. The number 
of hands employed was 502 ; the capital invest- 
ed amounted to $889,400 ; the wages paid to $347,- 
.578, and the materials consumed had a value 
of $280,156. The principal products of industry, 
with their values, were sawed lumber, $158,000; 
railroad ties, $110.000 ; milled quartz, $76,600 ; tin, 
copper and sheet-iron ware, $40,320 ; and boots 
and shoes, $11,640. 

The Union Pacific R. R. intersects the south- 
ern part of Wyo. from E.to W., and has within 
the same a length of 470 mis. The Denver 
Pacific, connecting Cheyenne with Denver, 
Colo. Ter., has been comp"leted. 

Wealth and Taxation. — The assessed value of 
real estate was, in 1870, $863,065, and of personal 
estate, $4.6.53,083. The true, or estimated, value 
of both kinds of property, together, was $7,016,- 
748. 

The territorial taxes amounted to $6,163, and 
the county taxes to $28,308. 

Government. — The Governor and Secretary 
are appointed by the President of tlie Unitcfl 
States for four years. The Legislative Assem- 
bly consists of a Council of nine members and 
a House of Representatives of thirteen mem- 
bers. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, District Courts, Probate Courts and 
Justices of the Peace. The Supreme Court 
consists of a Chief Justice and two Associate 
Justices, any two of whom constitute a quorum, 
and who hold a term at the seat of government 
annually. They are appointed by the Presi- 
dent of the United States for four years. The

Yellow Stone River, a tributary of the up- 
per Missouri K.; is the outlet of Yellow Stone 
Lake in N. W. Wyo. Ter. It flows lirst to the 
N., and after emerging from the liocky Mts., 
turns to the E. and empties near Fort LTnion. 
It is probably over 1,000 mis. long, and receives 
the Big Horn, or Wind, li., the Tongue K. and 
Powder Horn U. The region which surrounds 
the Yellow Stone Lake and the upper course 
of the river has been reserved from settle- 
ment or sale by act of Congress, and consti- 
tutes the famous Y'ellow Stone Park, measur- 
ing 55 by 65 nils. In weird beauty and magni- 
ficent grandeur it doubtless surpasses any 
landscape on the globe. It was in compar- 
tively recent times the scene of the most 
■wontlerful volcanic activity. From a thou- 
sand Assures were poured forth unlimited 
quantities of lava, fragments of rock and 
volcanic dust, and even now some 3 or 4 sq. 
mis. include hundreds of active liot springs 
and geysers, or the reuiains of springs which 
have ceased to flow. The lake from which 
the Yellow Stone li. issues, is about'20 mis. long 
and 15 inls. wide, and has a wild, irregular but 
beautiful shore line. Its area is about 300 sq. 
mis., its greatest depth 300 feet and its eleva- 
tion above the sea 7,4-27 feet. It lies upon the 
summit divide of the continent, and receives 
no tributaries, its waters coming solely from 
the snows of the lofty mountains that hem it 
in on every side. A short distance from this 
lake the river commences its passage through 
a series of rents and nfts in the sOiid crust of 
the earth, either falling over precipices or 
coursing through deep and gloomy canyons. 
At the mouth of Tower Cr. the Great Canyon 
commences. Twenty nils, in length, it is im- 
passable throughout, and inaccessible at the 
•water's edge except at a few points. Its rug- 
ged edges are from -iOO to 500 yards apart, and 
Its depth is so great that no sound ever reaches 
the ear from the bottom. Down, down, down, 
the river is seen attenuated to a thread, toss- 
ing and dashing against the massive walls 
which inii)rison it. «^l)structed by massive 
boulders and jutting points, it rushes madly 
on its solitary course. At the upper end of 
this canyon the river plunges down in two 
grand cataracts, known as the Upper and 
Lower Falls. For some distance before it 



reaches tlie former the river breaks into 
rapids, and narrowed between the rocks as it 
approaches the brink, leaps in a sheet of snow- 
white foam over a nearly perpendicular preci- 
pice about 140 feet high. The stream, which 
is about 200 feet wide between the falls, nar- 
rows again as it approaches the Lower Fall, 
and here plunges over a level shelf of rock 350 
feet high, in a compact, solid sheet. The can- 
yon here is 1,000 feet deep, its vertical sides 
rising darkly to shelving summits. 

The banks of the Yellow Stone abound with 
ravines and canyons which are cut through 
the hardest rocks. The most remarkable of 
thesels the Canyon of Tower Creek and Col- 
umn Mt. The latter is composed of succes- 
sive pillars of basalt overlying a thick stra- 
tum of cement and gravel. Tlio canyon of 
Tower Cr. is about 10 mis. in length, and is so 
deep and gloomy that it has been culled the 
"Devil's Den." About 200 yards before it 
enters the Yellow Stone, the creek makes a 
perpendicular fall of 1(55 feet, which is sur- 

■ rounded with columns of volcanic breccia^ 
soino resembling towers, others the spires of 
churche3,and still others the slender minarets 
of a mosque. Below the falls, the stream de- 
scends in numerous rapids with great velocity 
through a gloomy gorge, to its union with the 
main river.

Yoseinite Valley, in Mariposa co., Cal.; is 
one of the most remarkable wonders of the 
world. It is situated on the Merced K., 140 
mis. S. E. of San Francisco, but nearly 2.50 
mis. distant by any of the usually traveled 
routes. It consists of a narrow gorge 8 mis. 
long and from a half to a mile in width, and 
is Inclosed in granite walls rising with per- 
pendicular faces and towering rocks from 3,000 
to 6,000 feet above the bottom. It was dis- 
covered in 1851 by Major I. D. Savage, while 
in pursuit of a band of predatory Indians. 
Approaching the valley from the Mountain- 1 



View House, the traveler, after a rough ride 
of 12 mis., reaches Inspiration Point, a little 
green plateau, some 20 feet sq., and raising 
his eyes to the E. beholds in one glance the 
whole Yoseinite Vallej', with its mountains, 
rocks, barren domes of gray granite, water- 
falls and winding streams. The descent into 
the valley is toilsome and takes about 3 hours. 
According to I. D. Whitney, of Howanl Uni- 
versity, the Yosemite owes its existence to 
the subsidence of the ground, and is not, as 
some have asserted, a rent produced by some 
volcanic action, in which case the opposite 
walls would exhibit parallel faces, the pi-o- 
jections of one side corresponding to cavities 
on the other, l^he bottom and the talus or 
debris at the base of the rocks are covered 
with grass, shrubbery and trees. On every 
hand are seen the beautiful and many-colored 
"manganita" and "madrona," ami the co- 
lossal red-wood conifers, peculiar to the Paci- 
fic slope. 

The principal objects of interest in the val- 
ley are the following: EI Capitan, a colossal 
rock with perpendicular sides, 3.300 feet high, 
standing near the W. end of the Yosemite. 
On the opposite side are the Cathedral Rocks, 
2,600 feet high, and standing lik« isolated 
church spires, with the beautiful Bridal- Veil 
Falls, descending9i0 feet into the valley. The 
Virgin's Tears Cr. makes a fine fall, over 1,000 
feet high, in a deep recess of the I'ocks near 
the low'er corner ot El Capitan. Farther up 
the valley is the group of rocks known as the 
Three Brothers, the highest of which is 4,000 
feet high, and beyond these are the Y'osemitc 
Falls, 2,634 feet, or about half a mile in height, 
consisting of three leaps of 1,600 feet, 434 feet 
and 600 feet, respectively. East of this won- 
derful cat4iract are the Royal Arches, a vast, 
rocky wall with perpendiciilar sides. On the 
south side of the valley, and beyond the Cath- 
edral Rocks, is the Sentinel Rock, near which 
looms up the gigantic Sentinel Dome. Farther 
to the E. the Yosemite divides into two val- 
leys, the northern of which is traversed by 
Tenaya Cr., which expands near the Half 
Dome, the loftiest and most imposing moun- 
tain in the whole valley, being 6,000 feet high, 
into the Mirror Lake, a small but exceedingly 
picturesque body of clear water : while the 
southern, or the" Little Y''osemite Valley, is 
rendered attractive by the Vernal Falls, and 
higlier up by the Nevada Falls, which are 
botli formed by the Merced R. 

By an act of Congress, the Y'osepiite Valley 
and the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees were 
granted to the state of Cal. upon the condi- 
tion that they should be kept as public lands, 
inalienable for all time.

APPENDIX NO. 2. 



*Albany, city, co. seat of Albany co. and capi- 
tal of the state of New York; ia situated on 
the \V. bank of the Hudson E., \.U% mis. N. of 
■ New York city. The site is a narrow plain 
along the river, backed by rapidly rising 
ground, parts of which overlook the river at 
a height of 200 to 3U0 feet. The phxn is irregu- 
lar, but some of the streets are very hand- 
some, and in general the buildings are sub- 
stantial and commodious. Some of the struc- 
tures are quite imposing, the most notable of 
•which are the State Capitol, facing the square 
at the end of State street ; the State Hall, a 
marble edifice devoted to departments of state; 
the City Hall, also of marble ; the State Nor- 
mal School, Dudley Astronomical Observa- 
torj', Albany Medical College, the Albany Uni- 
versity, autl several academical and library 
buildings. The State Library has a collection 
of nearly 100,000 volumes, and the records and 
collections at the State Agricultural liooms 
are very numerous and valuable. The school 
buildings are neat, and ample for the accom- 
modation of the 10,737 children of school age. 
The church architecture of the city is of a 
very high order-, and the cathedral is I'egarded 
as one of the finest in the United States. 

Albany is an important manufacturing cen- 
ter. In 1870 the city and county had 7'21 man- 
ufacturing establishments, emplojang 6,103 
horse-power, 14,495 hands, a capital of $16,031, - 
268 ; consuming $13,439,705 worth of material, 
and turning out products of the value of $24,- 
785,921. The principal articles of manufacture, 
■with their value, were cotton goods, $4,086,734 ; 
stoves, heaters, etc., $3,216,431; hosiery, $2,476,- 
226 ; liquors, $1,259,745 ; boots and shoes, $987,- 
661 ; cars, $635,014 ; flour, etc., $696,717 ; wrought 
ii'on and castings, $941,512 ; lumber planed and 
sawed, $538,600 ; malt, $457,200 ; paper, $442,000 ; 
printing and newspapers, $562,900 ; -woollen 
goods, $473,430. 

The city is enviably situated for commerce, 
being at the head of heavy navigation on the 
Hudson 11., in direct steamboat communi- 
cation with New York, by canal and river, 
in water communication with Lake Cham- 
plain, and by Erie Canal with the great lakes 
of the North-west. It is also at N. terminus 
Of Hudson River R. R., at N. E. terminus of 
Albany & Susquehanna R. R., at E. terminus 
of New York Central R. R., at W. terminus 
of Boston & Albany R. Rj and at S. terminus 
of Renssalaer & Saratoga R. R. It has long 
ranked as among the leading lumber marts 
of the country. 

Albany was named in honor of James II., 
Duke of York and Albany, in 1664, and was 
chartered as a city in 1686. its population in 
1810, was 9,356; 1820, 12,630; 1830, 24,238; 1840; 
33,721; 1850, 50,763; 1860, 62,367; 1870, 69,422, 
of whom 47,215 were natives of the United 
States and 22,207 were foreign born. Of these 
194 were engaged in agriculture, 7,464 in pro- 
fessional and personal services, 4,343 in trade 
and transportation, and 9,375 in manufactures. 
The total population constituted 14,105 fami- 
lies of 4.92 persons each, who lived in 8,748 
dwellings, an average of 7.94 persons to a 
dwelling. 

Nineteen newspapers and periodicals are 
published in the city, of which the "Journal," 
"Times," "Argus," "Express," "Freie 



Blaetter," "Herald," "Knickerbocker," 
"Post" and "Country Gentleman," are the 
principal dailies and weeklies.

^Buffalo, (lat. 42° 53', long. 78° 55') city, port of 
entry (Buffalo Cr.) and theco. seat of Krieco., 
N. Y., is situated on a capacious, easily acces- 
sible, and safe harboc, formed by the estuary 
of Buffalo Cr., at the E. extremity of Lake 
Erie, and at the head of Niagara R., also 441^ 
mis. via Albany, and 432'^ mis. via Corning, N. 
W. of New York city; 297 mis. W. of Albany, 
23 mis. S. of Niagara Falls, 275 mis. E. of De- 
troit and 268 mis. N. of Pittsburgh, Pa. Its site 
is a plain, gently rising into a plateau of some 
50 feet elevation, commanding a tine view of 
the lake and Canada shore. The plan of the 
streets is mainly rectangular. They are wide, 
firmly laid, frequently fringed with shade 
trees, and built up with beautiful dwellings 
and commanding business and public struc- 
tures. The city possesses an air of neatness 
and grandeur seldom found in this country. 
Main street (120 feet wide) is the principal 
thoroughfare. The plateau, or upper portion, 
is mainly devoted to residence, while the 
lower portions are given to manufacturing 
interests and to commerce. The city is not 
more noted for its elegant private than for 
its substantial business and palatial public 
structures. Among the latter are the City 
Hall, the United States Custom House, Peni- 
tentiary, Post-oflice, Court House, State Arse- 
nal, City Hospital, Erie County Savings Bank 
and other banks. Providence Insane Asylum 
(Catholic), St. Mary'^ Deaf Mute Asylum, 
State Insane Asylum, which will have a front, 
when completed, of 2,700 feet, the largest in 
the United States, if not in the world, with 
park and grounds of 208 acres ; Buttalo Or- 
phans' Asylum, St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, 
Hospital of Sisters of Charity, etc. It'is the 
seat of Buflalo University and Moilical School, 
the Grosvenor Library, a State Normal School 
and several well-stored libraries. The Young 
Men's Association have large buildings, a 
choice reading room and a librarj'- of 25,000, 
and St. James Hall, a splendid audience 
room. The city is very rich in church archi- 
lecture, its two cathedrals (St. Joseph's and 
St. Paul's), St. John, St. Louis, Calvary, North, 
Westminster, Asburyand Riverside church- 
es, and Church of the Messiah and Church of 
the Holy Angels, rank among the finest speci- 
cimens of architectural beauty. Here are 
several handsome squares and parks, which 
add to the comfort and cheerfulness of the 
place. Their entire acreage is 530. The city 
is a delightful summer resort, enjoying per- 
petual breezes. The death rate in 1872 hardly 
reached 14 to each 1,000 population. 

The manufacturing interests of Buffalo have 
grown very rapidly, and in this respect it is 
surpassed by few cities in the Union. They 
aggregate a value of (1870) $28,000,000 ; the prin- 
cipal of which are agricultural implements, 
$499,305 ; boots and shoes, $696,010 ; cheese, $71.5,- 
219; men's clothing, $1,328,235 ; flouranil meal, 
$1,981,932; iron blooms, $650,000; forged and 
rolled iron, $2,062,865 ; pig iron, $875,100 ; cast- 
ings, $1,264,2.50 : leather, $901,412 ; dressed skins, 
$599,390; distilled liquors, $1,177,920; malt

liquors. ^5,775 ; engines and boilers, $846,624 ; 
lumber, $1,797,441 ; machinery, $405,775 ; malt, 
$500,821 ; tin, copper and sheet-iron ware, 
$50i.244. 

The commercial facilities of the city are 
very great. Its position is that of an entre- 
pot for the commerce passing eastward, 
and a shipping point for that passing west- 
ward. Its harbor has been greatly improved 
by the judicious expenditure of large sums of 
money, and it presents during the season of 
navigation a scene of as much activity as 
some of the busiest Atlantic ports. Here are 
ample wharves, docks, ship-building and re- 
pair yards, and a system of grain elevators 
the greatest in capacity and power found on 
the lakes. During 1873, 9,959 vessels, tonnage 
4,88f>,7;i3, entered and cleared at the port of 
Butfalo. The total tonnage of the district 
(Buffalo Cr.) was 153,238, viz: 3S,547 sail, 7,484 
Iron steamers, 42,699 steam vessels of all kinds, 
3,0a5 barges, and 6J,440 canal boats. There 
were 31 elevators in 1873, with a storage capa- 
city of 7,215,000 bush., and a transfer capacity 
of 2,715,000 bush, every 24 hours. The quantity 
of grain received from the West, was 104,000,- 
000 bush., including flour reduced to wheat 
bushels. The cattle yards cover 50 acres, at 
which live stock to the value of $50,000,000 was 
received. 

The facilities of the city for inland com- 
merce are commensurate with those by the 
lake. It is at the VV. terminus of the Erie 
Canal (completed 1824), the great water tho- 
roughfare of the state, also at W. terminus 
of New York Central R. R., at N. E. terminus 
Of Lake Shore R. R.. at N. terminus of Buffalo, 
New York & Philadelphia R. R., at N. W. ter- 
minus of Northwest Division of Erie R. R., 
and at S. terminus of Niagara Falls Branch 
of Erie R. R. It is thus brouglit into contact 
with all the marts of the East, West and 
South, and is made neighbor to the great 
coal fields of Pennsylvania, receiving in 
1873, 1,237,768 tons of coal, and shipping 638,653 
tons. 

Buffalo was laid out in 1801 by the Holland

*£Imira, city in Chemuns: co., N. Y., and the 
CO. seat, is situated on Chemung R., at tlie 
mouth of Newtown Cr., 274 mis. by rail W. by 
N. of New Y'ork city, 112 mis. S. by E. of Ro- 
chester, 148 mis. (via Hornellsville) S. E. of 
Buffalo, and 78 mis. N. of Williamsport, Pa. 
The city is picturesquely located, is hand- 
somely laid out, and contains m&ny fine 
private residences, business structures and 
pub!ic edifices. Among the latter are the 
Female College and other educational insti- 
tutions, the Court House, and imposing 
churches. The growth of the city in manu- 
facturing and commercial importance has 
been rapid, and these interests are largely 
enhanced by its situation on the Erie R. R., 
the Northern Central R. R. and at the com- 
mercial N. terminus of Lehigh Valley R. R. 
It is thus the pivotal point for the anthracite 
coal trade northward, and for the thronged 
travel to the lakes, vineyards, glens and wa- 
terfalls of central and N. W. New York. It 
was settled in 1788, and had a population 
in 1840 (including the tn.) of 4,791 ; inlSJjO, 7,966 ;

population of 15,683; 12,472 of wliom were 
native born, and 3,391 foreign born. Five
